Justin Jefferson's return is taking a little bit longer than fantasy football players anticipated, and they are not happy about it.

The reigning Offensive Player of the Year was placed on injured reserve with the injury, which forced him to miss the team's next four games.

Jefferson decided to answer back at all of them at once on X, formerly Twitter.

"My health is wayyyy more important than you winning your fantasy games," he posted Tuesday morning.
