Justin Jefferson
#18 Active2026 Fantasy Football Player Profile
2025 Season Recap
Justin Jefferson had the worst fantasy season of his career in 2025, held back by historically poor quarterback play. He managed 84 catches for 1,048 yards and two touchdowns on 141 targets. Despite the massive drop in fantasy production to 159.5 total points, the talent was never the issue. He still became one of the rare players in NFL history to record six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to start a career.
2026 Fantasy Outlook
The situation has completely changed in Minnesota, and Jefferson entering 2026 as the consensus WR6 feels like a genuine discount. Kyler Murray is now under center, bringing real dual-threat ability and a track record of connecting with elite receivers. Kevin O'Connell's scheme is one of the most receiver-friendly in the NFC, and Jefferson with a functioning quarterback is an easy bet for a massive bounce-back. Two touchdowns is a floor, not a ceiling. The realistic projection with Murray healthy is a top-five receiver finish.
