Justin Jefferson Says He Will Play In Week 3

When asked if he plans to play in Week 3 on Sunday against the Houston Texans, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (quadriceps) said, "Yeah, for sure." Jefferson said his quadriceps muscle feels "great" and he's working daily with the medical staff to make sure it feels "fantastic" by Sunday. The All-Pro wideout was listed as limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. The 25-year-old bruised his right quad in the Week 2 win over the San Francisco 49ers but still managed to go for four catches (seven targets) for 133 yards and his second touchdown of the season. Jefferson has only seen 13 total targets from quarterback Sam Darnold through two weeks, but the efficiency has been amazing, and he'll remain a must-start, elite WR1 for fantasy managers as long as he's active this Sunday in what could be shootout against the Texans.
