I'd be a little nervous about Justin Jefferson this week, even though he's sitting comfortably inside the top 40. Detroit's secondary has been locking guys down lately, and they just don't give up easy yards to outside receivers.

Negative signalMatchup

Detroit's lockdown secondary and Minnesota's shaky offense make Jefferson a risky start.

Aaron St Denis warns to be nervous about Justin Jefferson this week despite his top-40 ranking. Detroit's secondary has been locking guys down lately and doesn't give up easy yards to outside receivers. Minnesota's offense has looked shaky, so volume might not be there if the Lions jump out to an early lead. The matchup feels like one of those quietly underwhelming games where he ends up with 60 yards and no score.
