Last year, Jefferson was still sixth in target share (28.5%) and seventh in first-read share (35.1%), so we should all expect the Minnesota passing attack to run through their alpha wide receiver again in 2026. He could easily return to being a top 10 fantasy wideout as he has been every year of his NFL career (outside of 2025), but there's still some risk with Kyler Murray or J.J. McCarthy throwing him the ball this season.

Jefferson's elite target/first-read share supports top-10 upside, but QB uncertainty remains.

Jefferson was still sixth in target share (28.5%) and seventh in first-read share (35.1%) last season, so the Minnesota passing attack should run through their alpha wide receiver again in 2026. He could easily return to being a top 10 fantasy wideout as he has been every year of his NFL career outside of 2025, but there's still some risk with Kyler Murray or J.J. McCarthy throwing him the ball this season, per Derek Brown.
