Jefferson averaged 100 yards without Dobbs/Hall; elite matchup vs. Packers' weak CBs.

Throw out the 2025 season; Jefferson averaged 100 receiving yards from 2022-24 in games without Josh Dobbs and Jaren Hall. That's enough to flirt with WR1 overall if Kyler Murray can reach the Kirk Cousins to Sam Darnold tier, which seems within range. The Packers without Micah Parsons are a great spot to start hot; in five games without him to close last year, they allowed the fifth-highest EPA per dropback and eighth most passing yards per game with the lowest sack rate (2.2%). Jefferson put up 101 yards in Week 18 with J.J. McCarthy and Max Brosmer. The Packers are starting Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine at outside CB and will play more man coverage with more off coverage—dangerous against Jefferson's elite route-running. Minnesota has the 10th-highest team total of the week.
