The Minnesota Vikings will face the Chicago Bears in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Justin Jefferson.

Should You Start or Sit Justin Jefferson in Week 15?
The national nightmare ended last week when Jefferson scored for the first time since Week 7, hauling in a 12-yard end-zone target from Sam Darnold.
He added a 52-yard touchdown catch later in the game on a busted coverage situation, and we’ve seen scores come in bunches for the game’s finest receiver (he opened this season with a TD in four straight games and scored in six of eight games during a post-Halloween spurt in 2022).
The Bears took the Vikings to overtime in Week 12 by selling out to keep Jefferson in check (15.6% target share). I have no doubt that they will try to repeat that game plan; I also have little hesitation that Kevin O’Connell schemes up ways to combat that desire.
Whether you want to rank Jefferson as the WR2 or WR8 this week, you’re playing him with the utmost confidence and hoping he can provide you with a Monday night hammer.
