Everyone is ready to see Justin Jefferson return to the field, and they have made that known. Especially those who have him on their fantasy team. 

But the receiver isn't going to get out there until he is healthy. And he took the time to tell everyone that on Tuesday. 

"My health is wayyyy more important than you winning your fantasy games. It doesn’t matter how many times y’all flood my dms talking about me selling your team. I DONT CARE," Jefferson wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. 

Jefferson has been sidelined since Week 5, having suffered a hamstring injury. Because of that, he was placed on injured reserve. 

Yet both he and Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell have said that the receiver will not take the field until he is completely healed. And that time has not come just yet. 

While his 21-day practice window is open, their bye week is strategically placed that he could have same additional time off and still return within the time that he is eligible. 

It seems likely that Jefferson might be sidelined for another week as the Vikings take on the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football.
