Jefferson poised for elite resurgence with Cousins return; seventh-best WR schedule.

Jefferson is the biggest winner of the Cousins trade. Averaged career-low 56.1 receiving yards per game this season versus 61.6 in 2025; in four seasons with Cousins, averaged 98 yards per game with 17-game pace of 1,671 yards and 8.5 touchdowns. Remains must-start fantasy option and could reach elite status again with Cousins, especially with Vikings' seventh-best remaining WR schedule.
