Should You Start or Sit Justin Jefferson in Week 13?
Jefferson didn’t have a catch through the first 18 minutes on Sunday, but this is a good reminder that these are human beings, not just names on a sheet of paper. On one hand, we have Malik Nabers’ frustration bubbling over in a losing spot; on the other, we have Minnesota’s star:
I’m not sweating the down weeks (two catches for 27 yards), but Week 15’s rematch with the Bears could be a problem. We will get there when we get there (even with the script working as it did last week, he drew a 35-yard penalty that could be a play that adds 10+ points to his bottom line if not committed), but you’re not getting cute here.
For what it’s worth, I do have Jefferson ranked as one of the worst per-dollar DFS options this week among those with high-end price tags. I don’t have volume concerns, but Sam Darnold is trending in the wrong direction despite the team’s success, and that has resulted in Jefferson producing 29.8% below expectations over the past three weeks.
