Wentz stint: 68% catch rate, 95.4 yards/game; proves QB play unlocks Jefferson.

Carson Wentz's brief 2025 stint with Minnesota showed Jefferson's upside with competent QB play: Jefferson's catch rate jumped to 68% (vs. 51.9% with McCarthy), target share stayed above 30%, and he averaged 95.4 receiving yards per game.
