It has been a tough season for Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

Jefferson remains one of the best players in the NFL, but a bad season by Vikings quarterbacks has no doubt held him back.

Adding to that, Jefferson has showed clear frustration with the situation, which has led some to speculate about his future with the Vikings.

Things aren't getting any better in Week 15, as Jefferson is off to yet another quiet start against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night.

Here's a closer look at what's happening.

Is Justin Jefferson playing tonight?

Yes, Jefferson is active and healthy, he just didn't have an opportunity to get going on the first drive, as J.J. McCarthy had a pass tipped and picked on the second play.

We'd like to say Jefferson will get going soon, but it's hard to say that after what we've seen this season.
