Jefferson's 2025 struggles tied to QB play; Kyler Murray upgrade supports 2026 bounce-back
Justin JeffersonWRMIN
Justin Jefferson recorded career lows in receiving yards (1,084), receptions (68), and receiving touchdowns (2) in 2025 despite playing all games, but ranked 58th among 50+ target wide receivers in catchable target rate (71%) due to J.J. McCarthy's poor play. With Kyler Murray favored to start in 2026 and the Vikings ranking fourth-fewest in pass attempts under McCarthy versus 17th under Sam Darnold in 2024, Jefferson should improve if catchable target rate increases and volume bumps; given the weak running back room, he represents value at 1.11.
