2025 Pre-Season Rank #38, 2024 Pre-Season Rank #50, 2023 Pre-Season Rank #101, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #130.  Peak Period: 2020-24

Since he debuted in 2020, Justin Jefferson has accumulated more Receiving Yards (8,480) than any other Wide Receiver,  and nobody else is within 1,000.

In his first three seasons, Jefferson won the Offensive Rookie of the Year (2020), the Offensive Player of the Year (2022), and earned three Pro Bowls and two First Team All-Pros.  The three seasons after have been more challenging; although he was chosen for a fourth Pro Bowl in 2024, he missed seven games due to injury in 2023, and last year, despite being healthy, he had the misfortune of having the ineffective J.J. McCarthy as his Quarterback, leading to only 2 TDs and 1,048 Yards.

Regardless of last season’s woes, he has a new thrower in Kyler Murray, who comes to Minnesota with a lot to prove.  Jefferson should be elite as always, and as he is still in his prime, the yardage will continue to pile up.
