PositiveProjectionJul 24, 2026
Kevin Oonnell expects a big bounce-back from Justin Jefferson this season, citing red zone misfortune and quarterback/playcalling regression as the primary culprits rather than Jefferson's receiving ability. Jefferson was tied for eighth with 10 red zone targets but caught only one (10% conversion), posting a 29% catch rate in the red zone—third worst among players with at least 10 red zone targets. Before last season, Jefferson held the NFL record for career receiving yards per game at 96.5 yards/game (now behind Puka Nacua at 95). Oonnell attributes the decline to McCarthy and Max Brosmer's offensive scheme rather than Jefferson's talent, noting that Kyler Murray, while not elite, is a clear upgrade over the previous quarterback situation. The source frames Jefferson as an elite play designer's (Kevin Oonnell's) receiver returning to form under improved quarterback play and playcalling.PositiveProjectionJul 13, 2026
