Van Jefferson failed to secure either of his two targets in Sunday's 28-27 win over Washington.Jefferson had a season-best performance in the Pittsburgh Steelers' final game before their Week 9 bye, securing four of five targets for 62 yards. Although he was on the field for 71 percent of the team's offensive snaps against the Commanders, the 2020 second-rounder was held without a catch for the third time this season.

Van Jefferson secured two of three targets for 15 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 37-15 win over the Jets.Jefferson wasn't targeted in last week's win over the Raiders, but he saw more work in Week 7 with Russell Wilson under center and reached the end zone for the first time this season. Jefferson has had multiple receptions in four of his first seven appearances of the season, but he's totaled just 77 receiving yards and a touchdown while securing 10 of 16 targets.
