Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Makes history in Sunday's win
Justin Jefferson caught seven of nine targets for 99 yards in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Cardinals.Arizona's pass rush sacked Sam Darnold five times on the day, and that pressure kept the QB from finding his top receiver much in the first half. Jefferson came up big down the stretch though as the Minnesota Vikings completed a comeback from a 19-6 deficit. The fifth-year wideout blew past the 1,000-yard mark in the process, becoming just the fourth player in NFL history to reach that milestone in each of his first five seasons -- a club that includes former Minnesota star Randy Moss, as well as A.J. Green and Mike Evans. Jefferson has gone four straight games without putting up 100 yards and six straight without getting into the end zone, droughts he'll look to break in Week 14 against the Falcons.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Leading receiver in win
Justin Jefferson brought in six of eight targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Titans.Jefferson led the Minnesota Vikings in all receiving categories as he usually does, but he was left scoreless after both of Sam Darnold's passing touchdowns went to a pair of running backs. It was still a solid fantasy effort from Jefferson, who now has 59 receptions for 912 yards and five touchdowns through 10 contests. The superstar wideout is a clear-cut WR1 for Week 12 when Minnesota visits Chicago next Sunday.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Modest performance against Jags
Justin Jefferson recorded five receptions on nine targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars.Jefferson tied for the team lead with nine targets, a mark he's now hit in three consecutive games. While opportunity wasn't an issue, Sam Darnold's accuracy was, as three of his passes to Jefferson were picked off. Darnold also targeted Jefferson primarily in short areas of the field, limiting him to a long gain of just 15 yards. While it was a down performance, Jefferson entered Sunday having topped 80 receiving yards in all but one contest for the season, and he should be projected to bounce back in Week 11 against the Titans.

Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Finds end zone in divisional loss
Justin Jefferson secured seven of eight targets for 81 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for three yards in the Minnesota Vikings' 31-29 loss to the Lions on Sunday.Jefferson found the end zone from 25 yards out early in the third quarter, giving the Vikings some life after the Lions had scored 21 unanswered points in the second period. However, it was a relatively quiet day otherwise for the star receiver against a division rival he's already put up some elite numbers against on multiple occasions in his career. Jefferson now has at least 81 receiving yards in four straight games but hasn't eclipsed the century mark in any of them, a matter he'll look to rectify against the Rams' vulnerable secondary in a Week 8 Thursday night road matchup.
