From the article

In the three full games Jefferson has played with Murray, he's scoring 10.8 fantasy PPG. Plus, he's averaged 5.3 targets, with only two in the red zone during this three-game stretch. In fact, Jefferson has yet to post a game this season with double-digit targets, and he now plays in a low-volume throwing offense, as the Vikings have attempted only 164 passes this season (second fewest in the league).

Negative signalUsage

Jefferson's target share collapsed with Murray; averaging 5.3 targets in three games.

Jefferson has averaged only 5.3 targets over his three full games with Kyler Murray at quarterback, with just two targets in the red zone during this stretch. He has yet to post a game this season with double-digit targets and now plays in a low-volume throwing offense, as the Vikings have attempted only 164 passes this season (second fewest in the league), scoring just 10.8 fantasy PPG in these three games compared to his 31.2-point Week 1 performance against Green Bay when Murray left early due to concussion and Carson Wentz took over.
