VAN JEFFERSON NEWS

Three catches in loss Jefferson recorded three catches on four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Jefferson saw a slight downturn in snaps due to the return of Elic Ayomanor, but he still managed four targets. He converted three of those into short gains, though he has still topped 25 receiving yards only twice in 12 games this season.

Only one catch Jefferson recorded one catch on one target for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Seahawks.

Catches first TD of 2025 Jefferson caught three passes on seven targets for 22 yards and a touchdown during the Titans' 16-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Impact Jefferson was thrust into a bigger role on offense following injuries to Calvin Ridley (fibula), Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) and Chimere Dike (chest). Jefferson ended up leading the Titans pass catchers with seven targets and helped tie the game at 13-13 late in the fourth quarter, when he hauled in a four-yard touchdown pass from Cam Ward. Ridley is out for the rest of the season due to a broken fibula, and Jefferson could be thrust into the Titans' WR1 role against the Seahawks in Week 12 if Ayomanor and Dike are unable to play.

Limited to one catch Jefferson recorded one catch on four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Jefferson maintained a significant role in the Tennessee offense with Calvin Ridley (hamstring) sidelined. He's managed at least four targets in four straight games, though Jefferson has managed only one reception in each of his last two contests. He should continue to get opportunities so long as Ridley is sidelined, but Jefferson's production will be sporadic at best.

Can't connect with Ward Jefferson recorded one reception on eight targets for six yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Colts.

Impact Jefferson was on the field for 78 percent of offensive snaps with Calvin Ridley (hamstring) sidelined again. He managed to match Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike in targets, but Jefferson was extremely inefficient with that opportunity. Jefferson should continue to see an expanded role so long as Ridley is sidelined, but his fantasy value still remains very limited.

Impact Jefferson upgraded to full practice participation Friday after a pair of limited sessions to gain clearance. He took on a larger role after Ridley got hurt in the Week 6 loss to the Raiders, as Jefferson finished with four catches for 75 yards. Jefferson will likely start on the outside opposite Elic Ayomanor against a Patriots secondary that's allowing 146 receiving yards per game to wide receivers.

Stays limited Thursday Jefferson (ankle) remained limited in practice Thursday.

Impact Just like Wednesday, Jefferson practiced in limited fashion while Calvin Ridley (hamstring) didn't participate in practice. With Ridley trending toward sitting out Sunday against the Patriots, Jefferson has a nice opportunity to take on a larger role, assuming the latter can play through his own injury concerns. Jefferson compiled four catches for 75 yards after Ridley exited Tennessee's Week 6 loss to the Raiders. Prior to that game, Jefferson had 24 receiving yards all season.

Logs limited practice Jefferson (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact With Calvin Ridley not practicing Wednesday, Jefferson's status is of added import ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots. Ridley was forced out of the Titans' Week 6 loss to the Raiders with a hamstring injury after logging just six snaps, which led to Jefferson recording a season-high 74 percent snaps share en route to catching four of his six targets for 75 yards.

Season-best numbers in loss Jefferson secured four of six targets for 75 yards during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Raiders.

Impact Jefferson recorded more offensive yardage in his Week 6 breakout than during the prior five games of the year combined, playing a season-high 75 percent of offensive snaps. His increased involvement came as the result of Calvin Ridley (hamstring) being forced off the field due to injury early in the first quarter. If Ridley is limited or unable to play Week 7 versus the Patriots then Jefferson, rookie fourth-rounder wideout Elic Ayomanor and will tight end Chig Okonkwo will be stand to benefit from sharp upticks in target share.

Impact Jefferson managed an ankle injury throughout the week and was deemed questionable on Friday's final injury report. However, the veteran wideout has progressed enough to suit up Sunday.
