Draft note
by John Paulsen
After an injury-shortened 2023, Jefferson returned to form in 2024, finishing as the overall WR2 in both total points and per-game average. Jefferson racked up 108 receptions on 158 targets for 1,591 yards and 10 touchdowns, serving once again as the centerpiece of Kevin O’Connell’s offense. He continued to dominate efficiency metrics, finishing 7th in yards per route run among 88 qualified receivers. His route-running, separation, and body control remain elite, and the only real question mark entering 2025 is the quarterback change. J.J. McCarthy will likely face growing pains, but “In Kevin O’Connell We Trust”—this is still one of the more receiver- and quarterback-friendly systems in the league. With elite volume, proven talent, and a coaching staff that knows how to feed its alpha, Jefferson remains a top-two fantasy receiver and a safe first-round pick.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Green Bay Packers

Justin Jefferson is on a tear, but is that really much of a surprise? Jefferson is an elite receiver and stepping up big when the Vikings need him most, as they try to chase down the Lions in the NFC North. He has over 100 yards in two of his last three games and had 99 yards in Week 13. In his first meeting with the Packers in Week 4, Jefferson caught six passes for 85 yards and a touchdown. Jefferson is matchup-proof, especially in the fantasy championship.
