Vikings | Justin Jefferson asbent Mon Apr 15, 02:37 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson was not in attendance for the start of voluntary offseason workouts Monday, April 15.
| Footballguys view: It's not a surprise that Jefferson isn't on hand for the start of offseason workouts, which are voluntary. Of course, Jefferson is looking for a contract extension that is likely to set records for a receiver and perhaps any non-quarterback. It's likely his absence from offseason workouts is related to that. |

Vikings | Justin Jefferson finishes up strong Sun Jan 7, 04:22 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson ended up with 12 receptions for 192 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets in Week 18 against the Detroit Lions. With the huge game, Jefferson ends up with 68 receptions for 1,074 yards and five touchdowns in 10 games.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson's season didn't go as the fantasy players who took him #1 overall hoped it would, but the first round was riddled with disappointments this year. He'll still be a top 3-5 pick, but it's reasonable to take CeeDee Lamb over him next season, if not others, pending the Vikings moves at quarterback in the offseason. |

The injury is considered minor, but the Vikings have a short week as they play on Saturday in Week 15 against the Bengals. We could see Jefferson limited (at best) in practice this week. |

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring) won't be activated to play Monday, Nov. 27, but he is expected to be 100 percent after the bye week. He's expected to play Dec. 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson has been working his way back from this troublesome hamstring injury. He's been close to returning, but the team does not want the superstar to suffer any setbacks. Jefferson has been out of action since he injured his hamstring in Week 5. Fantasy GMs have been managing without him, and a return in Week 14 means he can help in the fantasy playoffs - and hopefully, Jefferson's GMs have made it that far. |
