Justin Jefferson fires back, doesn’t care about your fantasy team

The Minnesota Vikings have been without wide receiver Justin Jefferson for the last six games and they have found a way to be successful in going 5-1 during that time.

That might not be the same for those who have him in fantasy football and the superstar wide receiver has had enough of it.

Why people have the gall to send Jefferson a direct message about coming back for their fantasy team is beyond comprehension. Your needing to make the playoffs so you can potentially win your league’s purse at the end of the season isn’t a reason to message him.

As far as Jefferson’s status is concerned, head coach Kevin O’Connell listed him as questionable for Monday night’s game against the Chicago Bears. With the bye week looming right afterward, it might behoove the Vikings to wait until afterward, as the biggest hurdle is Jefferson’s conditioning. Not being able to do substantial cardio training during that time can be a hindrance in your return.

We will see how things progress with Jefferson throughout the week and he hopefully returns, but it won’t be for the benefit of your fantasy football team.
