Prop Starz

Justin Jefferson over 55.5 recieving yards 1 unit. He is primed for a massive bounce-back game against the Giants' leaky secondary, making this a prime spot to ladder his receiving yards 65, 75, 85, 100+. Here's the quick breakdown: Recent struggles but due for eruption: JJ's had a rough 2025 overall (66 rec, 832 yds, 2 TDs, career-low 59.4 ypg pace), especially lately— just 6 catches for 37 yds over his last 3 games with drops and missed TDs amid chemistry issues with rookie QB J.J. McCarthy. But he's voiced frustration and motivation to return to elite form, and McCarthy's shown progress in recent wins (Vikings on a 2-game streak, scoring 31 and 34 pts). Favorable matchup: Giants' pass D ranks 23rd (allowing 228.9 pass ypg) and has been torched by WRs—4 guys have gone 100+ yds against them this year. They're also 31st vs the run (153.6 rush ypg allowed), so Vikings can lean on Aaron Jones/Jordan Mason to set up play-action bombs to Jefferson, who thrives on deep shots. Upside for ladder: With Vikings favored by 2.5 in a winnable road game (6-8 MIN vs 2-12 NYG), expect heavy targets for Jefferson (117 on the year, team-high). His ceiling is 100+ in a get-right spot—my projections have him exploding for his biggest game in 2025. Low floor is mitigated by volume; high end justifies climbing the ladder for escalating payouts. @SportsLine @CBSSports
