Justin Jefferson News
New Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said wide receiver Justin Jefferson will be the Cooper Kupp in the team's new-look offense in 2022. "I see that with Justin. I see an incredible, incredible skillset, but I also see a player we can move around. We can make it hard for defenses to know where he's going to be. He doesn't have to line up in the same spot all the time. He doesn't have to run the same type of routes all the time. He's dynamic with the ball in his hands," O'Connell said. Jefferson has been a star ever since he landed in the NFL in 2020. He's already a two-time Pro Bowler and finished last year with 1,616 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns on 108 receptions in 17 games. With quarterback Kirk Cousins expected to remain in town, the sky is the limit for the third-year pro.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson's fantasy managers had to temper expectations in Week 17 against the Green Bay Packers after it was announced that backup quarterback Sean Mannion would get the start with Kirk Cousins going on the reserve/COVID list. Also dealing with the frigid Green Bay weather, Jefferson had his second-worst PPR performance of 2021. While his 11 targets, six receptions and 58 receiving yards were all team-highs, the Viking offense just couldn't get going without Cousins. Changes are likely coming in Minnesota, but Jefferson will continue to be one of the elite options at wide receiver for 2022 fantasy teams.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson continued his spectacular 2021 season in Week 16 with his sixth game over 100 yards. Jefferson has seen double-digit targets in six of the last seven games. That usage combined with Jefferson's big-play ability makes him one of the elite options at the position every week. In Week 17, Minnesota faces a Green Bay Packers defense that is ranked 13th against opposing fantasy wide receivers. With Adam Thielen now ruled out for the rest of the season, Jefferson will continue to be peppered with targets. Jefferson is a locked-in WR1 every week.

Randy Moss? Let's not get too crazy. Yes, Justin Jefferson's 88 receptions for 1,400 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie broke records for Minnesota. But Randy Moss he is not. Jefferson does not have the same size and is not the same type of...
