Draft note

by John Paulsen

Sean McVay has consistently spoken highly of Jefferson, who started the season rotating with Josh Reynolds, but eventually gave way. Reynolds is gone, and the Rams have acquired both DeSean Jackson and Tutu Atwell, but it looks like Jefferson should serve as the team’s No. 3 option, rotating with Jackson and perhaps spelling Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp when necessary. In the one game where he played more than half the snaps (Week 17), he posted four catches for 50 yards on eight targets.

Van Jefferson has a chance for significant role

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson has a chance to play a significant role this season.

Fantasy Impact:

The Van Jefferson hype machine took a hit when the Los Angeles Rams signed veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson. Still, according to Fowler, Jefferson may earn the number three wide receiver role and spell Robert Woods or Cooper Kupp in two wide sets. Fowler added that DeSean will still have his packages but that 'the Rams won't overload his snaps.' Currently 69th in our wide receiver rankings, Jefferson may see a value increase if/when he is officially named the number three. This news makes him an intriguing late-round flier, and someone who those who have already drafted may want to check the waiver wire for. DeSean Jackson's already tenuous value will take a hit if Fowler's prediction comes to fruition. This is a situation to monitor.

LAR WR Van Jefferson - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs Colts

Early returns were good for Van Jefferson but the majority of his production Week 1 came from lackadaisical coverage by the Bears secondary. The Colts allowed a Yards Per Catch over 10 to four pass-catching options Week 1 and if the Rams can take advantage of the Colts’ injury concerns in the secondary, Jefferson could end up as a boom/bust WR3/4.
