From the episode

Justin Jefferson, I was going to say, I know it's, it's the quarterback that's limiting him...I don't think Justin Jefferson is still in this rarefied air. I just, I think Jefferson's fall off came last year.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Sanchez suggests Jefferson has fallen out of elite receiver tier; Flowers now ranks higher.

Mark Sanchez argues Justin Jefferson is no longer in the rarefied air of top receivers, noting his fall-off began last year. While Sanchez initially considered Jefferson better than Zay Flowers due to consistency (100+ catches, 1000+ yards, 10+ TDs for three straight years), he ultimately places Flowers in the top-five to top-six range, suggesting Jefferson has declined from his elite tier.
