Jefferson briefly left Sunday's game against Houston due to a left knee issue but returned and finished with three receptions for 88 yards on six targets.
According to the Athletic reporter Jourdan Rodrigue, coach Sean McVay praised Jefferson after the game and quickly clarified that Jefferson's knee is fine. With DeSean Jackson potentially on the way out via trade, Jefferson's workload could project for even more stability in the season's second half, though it remains to be seen if the Rams move Jackson before Tuesday's deadline. It might not matter either way for Jefferson -- Jackson was inactive against Houston, and he only played three snaps the week prior. Jefferson is likely locked in as the Rams' third wideout behind Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods, though Jefferson is unique among the trio for his downfield chops. As the Rams' designated big-play threat in the midst of a career year for quarterback Matthew Stafford, Jefferson is poised to keep providing value for his fantasy investors. The Rams face Tennessee in Week 9.
