It's the trade the Minnesota Vikings needed the most, especially after Monday night's debacle against the Buffalo Bills: QB Kirk Cousins is on his way back to the Twin Cities, giving the Vikings the kind of boost under center they need right now.
But it's also the trade that fantasy football managers need the most if they've got Justin Jefferson on their squad. The receiver has struggled mightily since Cousins departed, and a reunion could mean really good things for Jefferson's numbers again.
Fantasy football managers everywhere rejoiced on social media on Tuesday afternoon after the Cousins trade news broke:
Across 54 regular season games with Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson is averaging 19.6 PPR points per game π JEFFERSON MANAGERS WE ARE SO BACK
