Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has been featured in different parts of the field throughout training camp. In an attempt to exploit opposing defenses this year, head coach Kevin O'Connell, who served as the Rams offensive coordinator last season, plans on utilizing Jefferson the same way Cooper Kupp was showcased in 2021-22. The 23-year-old has been a fantastic addition to fantasy rosters, accumulating 3,016 yards and 17 touchdowns off 196 catches since being drafted in 2020. Although Kupp should continue to be a reliable asset for managers in all formats, Jefferson's skill set could allow him to finish as the year's top fantasy wideout.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson believes Davante Adams is currently the NFL's best wideout. However, he expects to surpass him for the title. "I'll say after this year, I'll be the best receiver in the NFL," Jefferson said during a recent interview. The 23-year-old has been at an elite level since entering the league in 2020, amassing 3,016 yards and 17 touchdowns off 196 catches, so he has the stats to support his proclamation. However, even if Adams remains more productive throughout the 2022-23 campaign, Jefferson should continue to make a difference for fantasy managers while thriving under former Rams offensive coordinator and new head coach, Kevin O'Connell.

Dynasty | Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson said he should be the best receiver in the league after next season. Dynasty Analysis: When receiver make boastful claims like this, you usually scoff. However, Jefferson clearly has the skills to back up his prediction. His rookie season line of 88/1,400/7 was amazing, but his sophomore season that featured 108/1,616/10 was even better. If Jefferson can somehow improve upon his production again in 2022, he'll seem quite clairvoyant. At this point, it's a dead heat between Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase in terms of being the overall dynasty WR1.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has high expectations heading into the season. With the Vikings hiring former Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell to serve as its head coach, the wideout believes he will benefit, similar to how Cooper Kupp thrived in the same system. The 23-year-old finished the 2022-23 campaign by posting spectacular numbers, accumulating 1,616 yards and 10 touchdowns off 108 receptions, all while averaging an impressive 15.0 yards per catch. Although having Kirk Cousins under center is a step down from Matthew Stafford, there's still no reason why Jefferson can't finish as the league's top fantasy receiver.

New Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said wide receiver Justin Jefferson will be the Cooper Kupp in the team's new-look offense in 2022. "I see that with Justin. I see an incredible, incredible skillset, but I also see a player we can move around. We can make it hard for defenses to know where he's going to be. He doesn't have to line up in the same spot all the time. He doesn't have to run the same type of routes all the time. He's dynamic with the ball in his hands," O'Connell said. Jefferson has been a star ever since he landed in the NFL in 2020. He's already a two-time Pro Bowler and finished last year with 1,616 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns on 108 receptions in 17 games. With quarterback Kirk Cousins expected to remain in town, the sky is the limit for the third-year pro.
