Justin Jefferson (hamstring) officially placed on IR

The Vikings have officially placed Justin Jefferson on injured reserve because of a hamstring injury. He will be out for at least four games.

Fantasy Impact: Jefferson suffered a hamstring injury in Week 5’s loss to the Chiefs and is now being placed on injured reserve. He will be out for the next four games at the very least, and he could possibly miss more time beyond that depending on how his recovery goes. This is a devastating blow for fantasy managers, as he was a consensus top-three pick in most drafts before the season. His extended absence will negatively affect the fantasy value of QB Kirk Cousins but could lead to more opportunities for K.J. Osborn and rookie Jordan Addison moving forward.
