Van Jefferson Fantasy

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson took a couple of weeks off in terms of production, but he made some noise in his Week 4 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Jefferson caught all six of his targets for 90 yards and a touchdown. Jefferson was tied for second on the team with six targets on the day, and it was the second week in a row that he has seen at least six targets. This Rams offense generates touches for everyone, and that's what makes it difficult to predict for fantasy outside of No. 1 option Cooper Kupp. Jefferson is surely one to watch in this offense, but it might take an injury to one of Kupp or Robert Woods for him to become a realistic every-week play in fantasy.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson didn't see a ton of work in Week 1, but he made the most of his limited opportunities against the Chicago Bears. Jefferson saw just three targets on the day, but he caught two of them for 80 yards and a touchdown, including a big 67-yard score that gave the Rams their first score of the Matthew Stafford era. Jefferson remains buried on the depth chart behind studs Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods, along with targets for DeSean Jackson, but he will still see some work. If any of those three players were to go down, Jefferson would immediately enter the weekly flex conversation and be a popular waiver-wire target.

The Los Angeles Rams have a lot of talented wide receivers in their stable, and one that they're expecting to take a big step forward is second-year man Van Jefferson. Jefferson caught 19 passes for 220 yards and a touchdown last year in a crowded room as a rookie. Heading into Year 2, the staff has had a lot of good things to say about him. Head coach Sean McVay said, "You can see he's really put the work in, and he's come back establishing himself as a legitimate dude, a guy that we're counting on for big things." That's some high praise and expectation, considering the other guys in their receiver room. With DeSean Jackson leading the charge for the third wide receiver spot, Jefferson's role and workload will be worth watching in training camp.
