It has been a tough season for Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

That said, that is hardly his fault, as the Vikings have gotten poor quarterback play all season long, especially from J.J. McCarthy.
Jefferson is off to a slow start in the Week 13 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Here's a closer look at what's going on.
Is Justin Jefferson playing today?
Yes, Jefferson is active and healthy, he just hasn't been targeted through two drives.
Max Brosmer has struggled with accuracy thus far, and it also doesn't help that he and Jefferson don't have much chemistry.

Hopefully things change soon for Jefferson, but we can't say they definitely will with the wild card Brosmer is under center.
