Jefferson's yards per route run sits at 2.44, well above the 1.7 that fantasy public likely assumes; he ranks as wide receiver four in first-half receiving yardage. The source likes him this week despite Vikings' second-half passing volume issues, citing strong underlying metrics: 29% first-read target share and 18% first-read target rate indicate he's still playing at a high level. The source believes Minnesota will need to throw for four quarters going forward, which should unlock more volume.

0:00You probably know the number, so I'm not
0:01going to ask you what Justin Jefferson's
0:04yards per out run is, but if we were to
0:05conduct a poll of the fantasy public,
0:09what do you think
0:11the the without looking, you know, no
0:13one's allowed to look.
0:14>> as bad a year as he had last year,
0:16probably.
0:17>> yeah.
0:18Which I now I don't know off the top of
0:20my head where he was at there, but like
0:211
0:22.7 yards per out run, something like
0:24that. That's what I I think people would
0:26assume he has.
0:27He's at 2.44.
0:29>> Yeah. And 2.2 at Kyler.
0:31>> runs routes.
0:33>> Yeah. And he's still over 2 yards at
0:35Kyler. He is He is the wide receiver
0:38four right now in first half receiving
0:41yardage.
0:43They just don't throw. They thrown 30
0:46They just don't throw in the second
0:48half. That's what's killed him, and I
0:50believe they're going to have to still
0:51throw. I think they have to throw for
0:53four quarters here.
0:56>> Yeah, I think it's an interesting spot
0:57for Jefferson.
0:58>> I I like him a lot this week.
1:01>> out.
1:03>> Yeah, he's still playing really well.
1:04>> 29% first read target share. Yeah, he's
1:07still playing really well. 18% first
1:09read target rate.
1:11All the underlying numbers look like
1:13pretty good. But yeah, they're just not
1:17I mean, even if you look at like Murray,
1:18like Murray
1:19like I said over the last couple weeks,
1:21his efficiency's been better, but he had
1:23150 passing yards last week. So you you
1:26leave last week feeling like, what the
1:28hell?
