The Minnesota Vikings have somehow put themselves in sixth place in the NFC even without their injured starting quarterback and with star wide receiver Justin Jefferson out since early October with a hamstring ailment.

With the Los Angeles Rams and Green Bay Packers now joining the hunt for a Wild Card playoff spot, the Vikings will need several more wins to reach the postseason, starting with one this Sunday at the Las Vegas Raiders.

Jefferson is expected to finally make his return to game action in that contest, per Tom Pelissero.

 

Fans are largely happy to see one of the NFL’s best wide receivers play once again.

 

 

These fans are also happy because it could mean help for their fantasy football teams.
