Justin Jefferson

McCarthy missed Week 13 with the brain injury. Despite being one of the least efficient quarterbacks in recent memory, McCarthy still proved to be a better option than Max Brosmer once the latter took the field. Brosmer was intercepted four times versus Seattle, including one pick-six. McCarthy isn't on the fantasy radar, even if a great matchup versus the Commanders. He might, however, be able to keep the light on for Justin Jefferson as a WR3.

The Minnesota Vikings moved on from a competent QB in Sam Darnold, and Justin Jefferson is paying the price.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson was limited to 4 yards on 2 catches in Sunday's loss at Seattle. Jefferson s now managed only one TD over his past 11 outings.

Minnesota is going to have to take the route of Indianapolis in 2025 and either sign or trade for a veteran backup who can compete for the starting job heading into training camp in 2026.

Addison easily led the team in targets. Justin Jefferson was held to two catches on six targets for four yards while T.J. Hockenson caught all six of his targets for a team-leading 59 yards. Undrafted QB Max Brosmer, making his first NFL start, peppered Addison in the second half with the Seattle secondary shading toward Jefferson. Addison's fantasy floor will remain low no matter which quarterback starts for Minnesota next week against the Falcons.
