NBC Sports Rotoworld on Justin Jefferson

Jefferson's upside hinges on Murray's recovery; could win or lose leagues.

Jefferson has spent the past three seasons losing leagues due to injury and persistent quarterback problems, catching passes from eight different signal callers. Now paired with Kyler Murray, who is a flawed, possibly declining player recently benched for Jacoby Brissett and released by the Cardinals. Murray has never had a play-caller like Kevin O'Connell, and Jefferson doesn't need a miracle to return to legitimate first-round status, just modest improvement. Jefferson could easily win leagues if Murray returns to his pre-2025 norms, but he will be a potential albatross if Murray and the Vikings continue on their respective 2025 trajectories. This wide range of outcomes—from effortless bounce-back pairing to continued underperformance—makes him a fateful first-round pick.
