Sep 8, 2024 4:24 pm: Jefferson secured four of six targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 28-6 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Jefferson had modest totals overall, but all three components of the star wideout's receiving line were team-high figures. The majority of Jefferson's production actually came on a 44-yard grab, but the highlight of his fantasy day was a three-yard touchdown grab to cap off an 11-play, 99-yard drive that took up over half of the second quarter. Jefferson and new quarterback Sam Darnold showed good chemistry overall and Minnesota's ability to dominate defensively made an overly aggressive gameplan unnecessary, meaning there's likely much better numbers to come from the duo in future games. Week 2 may prove a heavy lift in that regard, however, as Minnesota will welcome in the 49ers next Sunday.
