2024 RTSports Outlook
Jefferson missed the first half of the season as he recovered from a knee injury but started to play Week 9 and produced decent numbers. He had double-digit fantasy points four of his last 11 games. He had 24 receptions for 369 yards and three touchdowns. Jefferson is not a starter in this offense but gets work as a reserve option. He had more than 800 yards in 2021. Jefferson runs good routes for a young player. He also does well on the deep ball and can be a big-play threat because of his speed. He does lack some strength, though, and his hands are just alright, having eight drops in three seasons.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Jefferson is going to get some work but be hit or miss in his current role. He is a deep reserve for fantasy teams. He could get around 40 receptions for 600 yards and a few scores.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing free-agent wide receiver Van Jefferson to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday. After the trade of receiver Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers this week, the move to sign Jefferson will give new quarterback Russell Wilson a new weapon alongside George Pickens and Calvin Austin III. The 27-year-old former second-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 spent time with new Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith with the Atlanta Falcons last year, catching 12 of 28 targets for 101 yards in 12 games (five starts) with the team. The move to Pittsburgh should be a boost for Jefferson's weak fantasy value, but the Steelers could also add to the position in the upcoming NFL draft. In four years in the NFL, Jefferson has 113 receptions for 1,600 yards and 10 touchdowns in 61 games (35 starts).
