Justin Jefferson has never had two games this bad, let alone in a row.
The Minnesota Vikings wide receiver had 4 receiving yards in Week 13, then he followed that up with 11 receiving yards in Week 14.
This is one of the league's elite WRs. What in the world?
It can't continue, can it?
It's a question that anyone who has Jefferson in fantasy football really needs an answer to. Most leagues have either begun the playoffs in Week 15 or have their final qualifying week of the regular season.
Jefferson would've been drafted as a team's WR1. Right now, he's playing like a waiver wire afterthought.

Should I start or sit Justin Jefferson in fantasy Week 15?
You have to start JJ in Week 15.
It's a bit painful. There's a chance that he has another bad game. J.J. McCarthy certainly hasn't been the level of QB you'd want throwing to Jefferson.
But you simply cannot sit him. He's too much of a superstar. He's too good. You invested too much to have him on your team.

And the one saving grace this week is the matchup.
"If WR Justin Jefferson can't break out of his statistical slump Sunday, when will he?" ESPN's Kevin Seifert wrote on Friday. "The Cowboys enter the game having allowed the most passing yards per game in the NFL (255.2). Though they have shown some overall defensive improvement in recent weeks, Dallas has still allowed a 90-plus yards receiving game to eight different receivers this season."
The Vikings play on Sunday night. Jefferson could make or break your season right there in primetime. The suspense will be strong.
