Elite WR1 bounce-back candidate with QB upgrade and red-zone regression upside.

Justin JeffersonWRMIN

Ranked first among elite WR1 trio (Jefferson, London, Brown) as the best real-life player at this stage of his career. Expects significant bounce-back from 2024's poor performance due to bad QB play (JJ McCarthy, Carson Wentz, Max Bromer). Jefferson averaged 25+ more receiving yards per game in prior seasons; Kyler Murray's competent play in Minnesota should enable return to elite production. Additionally, Jefferson has significant red-zone regression opportunity: caught only 2 of 16 end-zone targets last year, worst conversion rate over the last decade except Julio Jones in 2017 (2 of 19). Julio rebounded to 8 touchdowns the following year, suggesting Jefferson could see meaningful touchdown upside in 2025.
