Turns in dud on SNF

Jefferson had just two receptions (four targets) for 21 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Dallas.

This was Jefferson's worst performance of the 2021 campaign by far. The lack of production was likely tied to the fact that he had to deal with rookie phenom corner, Trevon Diggs, for the majority of the night as Minnesota's top outside threat. The second-year wideout has otherwise been a strong fantasy contributor this season, with 41 receptions, 542 yards and three touchdowns in the six games prior to Sunday's dud. Luckily for Jefferson's managers, the wideout will get a prime opportunity to bounce back in a big way against the Ravens' 32nd-ranked pass defense next week.
