Justin Jefferson Expected to Play Week 15, Despite Chest Injury



Fantastic news for Jefferson’s fantasy managers, especially this early into the week. With veteran Nick Mullens set to draw the start on Saturday against the Bengals after Josh Dobbs proved incapable of producing any type of offense over the past two weeks, Jefferson could have some solid upside and enter the WR1 conversation. Jefferson hasn’t played a full game since October, but fantasy managers can expect a very secure floor from him in a Vikings offense that has been desperately missing his presence. Jordan Addison will likely be relegated to a WR4 this week playing behind both Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson when it comes to target share, but fantasy managers should pay close attention to the way the target distribution shakes out with Mullens under center.
