News: 10 hours agoJefferson (ankle) practiced in full Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Spin: Jefferson's upgrade from limited Wednesday to uncapped one day later indicates that the ankle injury that has bothered him since the middle of a Week 3 win at Tampa Bay is behind him. He'll be taking on a Colts defense Sunday that has allowed the 10th-most yards per target (8.6) to opposing wide receivers this season.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: After finishing in the top 10 among receivers in fantasy PPG during each of his first five seasons, Jefferson plummeted to 30th in 2025. The fall was, of course, unrelated to Jefferson's ability, as the team's quarterback woes limited the star receiver to career-low showings in yardage (1,048), touchdowns (two), catch rate (60%) and yards per target (7.4). Jefferson's fall came despite him seeing a career-high 30.1% target share and ranking in the top six at the position in targets (141) and end zone targets (15). The 27-year-old remains an elite player, but the quarterback concerns aren't fully solved, with dual-threat Kyler Murray (one receiver managed a top-25 fantasy campaign during his time as a starter in Arizona) set to work as the starter. Perhaps Murray can ignite Jefferson similar to how he did DeAndre Hopkins at times, but there's certainly some risk. Jefferson is best considered as a mid-range WR1.
