Justin JeffersonWRMIN

Jefferson was arguably the worst first-round pick in 2024 outside of Malik Nabers, declining from top-7 WR in PPG for five straight seasons to WR31 in 2024 (201 total fantasy points vs. 317 two seasons prior). The primary driver was poor quarterback play: with JJ McCarthy, he scored 10.7 PPG (WR33); without McCarthy (Max Bromer, Carson Wentz), he scored 16.3 PPG (WR10). Despite this, Puka Uno still believes Jefferson is arguably a top-2 or top-3 talent at the position, making his ranking difficult without clarity on the Vikings' QB situation.
