Vikings' Justin Jefferson (hamstring) not expected to play in Week 12

Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is not expected to play in the team's Week 12 game against the Chicago Bears on Monday night.

What It Means:

Jefferson is trending towards missing the Vikings' Week 12 game as the team plays it safe with their stars' health. Jefferson's 21-day practice window is drawing near its end, but the Vikings' Week 13 bye won't count towards that time, functionally giving him a 28-day window to return. Expect to see him on the field in Week 14.

With Jefferson unlikely to play, the Vikings should continue making heavy usage of T.J. Hockenson and Jordan Addison in their passing game. Hockenson has a $7,000 salary on FanDuel and is projected for 10.4 fantasy points while Addison has a $6,600 salary and is slated for 9.2 fantasy points.
