NBC Sports Rotoworld on Justin Jefferson
From the article
The addition of Kyler Murray, which the Vikings hope will yield another Sam Darnold effect as we saw in 2024, immediately bolsters Jefferson's fantasy stock for 2026, but a bad performance by Murray could result in the team turning back to McCarthy. This pick isn't without risk, but Jefferson is a high-ceiling pick who could easily return to elite fantasy status
STACKED’s take
Jefferson's Kyler Murray addition offers high-ceiling bounce-back from WR30 finish.
One of the most disappointing draft picks of the 2025 season, Jefferson finished as WR30 in fantasy points per game after struggling through life with J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer under center. A perennial top-10 PPR receiver in every year prior, Jefferson posted just three top-12 PPR games last season and managed just two touchdowns. The addition of Kyler Murray, which the Vikings hope will yield another Sam Darnold effect as seen in 2024, immediately bolsters Jefferson's fantasy stock for 2026. Jefferson is a high-ceiling pick who could easily return to elite fantasy status if things work out with Murray under center, though a bad performance by Murray could result in the team turning back to McCarthy.
