Justin Jefferson (hamstring) unlikely to play in Week 11

Justin Jefferson, who has been out since Week 5 with a hamstring injury, is still ramping up to full speed and seems unlikely to be ready for Denver in Week 11.

Fantasy Impact: Vikings’ HC Kevin O’Connell answered questions about Jefferson’s potential availability with a lot of coach speak. Still, reading between the lines, it is clear the team won’t play him until he is 100%. If Jefferson is out in Week 11, he will have just one more chance to play before the team’s bye week in Week 13. In his absence, Jordan Addison, K.J. Osborn, and T.J. Hockenson will all see the same uptick in work they have since Week 6. With the Vikings slated for play on Sunday Night, fantasy managers considering a possible game-time decision tag for Jefferson should ensure they have a backup plan ready.
