Justin Jefferson

With Jordan Addison (ankle) back on the field, Nailor's scoring streak was halted at three games. He got out-targeted just 4-2 by Addison, but Addison scored twice on five touches. He is comfortably ahead of Nailor for No. 2 duties. Nailor isn't going to see enough work to crack the top 60 as long as both Addison and Justin Jefferson are healthy.

It was a strong all-around fantasy effort on an afternoon where it looked like it wasn't going to happen. Jordan Addison (twice) and Josh Oliver scored to put the Vikings up 21-0 early in the second quarter, threatening pass-friendly game script. Jefferson thankfully found the end zone himself 10 minutes later, and despite entering halftime with just two catches for 19 yards, ended up with a strong PPR effort thanks to a Packers comeback. Jefferson has yet to really "go off" yet this season, but he's scored in all four games and has yet to post fewer than 4/59. He's cleared 80 yards each of the past three weeks. The eruption is coming, just probably not in week 5 against the Jets.

Darnold also lost a fumble. Darnold's 275 yards were his most as a Viking, while the three-score effort was his second straight. Spreading the ball around to every conceivable pass catcher to begin the game, Darnold found each of Justin Jefferson, Jalen Nailor, Jordan Addison and Aaron Jones for nice first half gains. He found Nailor and Addison for 1-on-1 scores as the Pack's DBs fixated on Jefferson. With the Vikings slowly bleeding a 28-0 advantage, Darnold then locked in with Jefferson after the break. Things got too close, but Darnold made nice plays under pressure. There's so far been no sign of "seeing ghosts" Darnold despite big Weeks 2-3 sack totals. He went down only twice in Green Bay. Darnold will now have his toughest matchup yet when the Vikings host the team that drafted him, the Jets, in Week 5.

With the Packers bracketing Justin Jefferson in the first half, Addison took advantage of 1-on-1 coverage to get loose for a 29-yard scoring strike from Sam Darnold. He then looked cannon-shot on his end-around rushing score one quarter later. There were no signs of the ankle issues that cost Addison most of the past two months, though he still ended up getting doubled up by Jefferson in looks 8-4. Addison's secondary targets will be in high demand for Week 5 against the Jets as Jefferson likely lands in Sauce Gardner jail. Addison will be on the WR3/4 borderline for that one.

Jefferson secured six of eight targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 31-29 win over the Packers on Sunday.
