Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson had three receptions for 58 yards against the Buffalo Bills in Week 9. Jefferson was targeted a game-high 11 times in the loss.

Why It Matters: The Vikings clearly wanted to get the football to Jefferson on Monday night. His 11 targets easily led the club. Carson Wentz could never get in synch with Jefferson, though, and the wideout's already modest 3-58-0 benefitted from a 19-yard grab in garbage time -- his other two catches came during Minnesota's two-minute drive before halftime. Ever since posting an 8-92-2 line in Week 1, Jefferson has topped 60 yards in a game just once. Everyone knows Jefferson is an elite talent, but his production isn't cutting it. While it's still too early to bench
someone you doubtless spent a first- or second-round pick on, viewing Jefferson as more than a WR3 isn't grounded in reality at this point.
