Justin Jefferson Week 17 Outlook - Packers at Vikings

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Dec 26th 2024, 9:08am EST

The touchdown pendulum has swung back in the favor of Justin Jefferson in a big way in recent weeks. After scoring a touchdown in his first four games to start the year, Jefferson scored just once in his following eight outings. But Jefferson scored five times in his last three contests, including last week's two-touchdown effort. Jefferson also posted a season-high 144 receiving yards, finishing the week as the top-scoring fantasy wide receiver. Minnesota faces the Green Bay Packers in Week 17. Green Bay gives up the fewest fantasy points to opposing wideouts this year. However, Jefferson is not like most wide receivers. He had 85 yards and a touchdown in the previous matchup between these teams and can easily post a similar line this week.
