Vikings' Justin Jefferson steps back from social media after getting harassed about injury

Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson was the consensus No. 1 overall draft pick in most fantasy football formats this offseason.

Don't expect Jefferson, who could miss a seventh game Monday night against the Bears, to apologize for his prolonged absence amid the vitriol from angry fans and gamblers he said he has received on social media.

Jefferson posted Tuesday on X, formerly known as Twitter, that his health is "more important than you winning your fantasy games, it doesn't matter how many times y'all flood my DMs talking about me [tanking] your team. I DON'T CARE.
