still elite when he's out there but the vikings are winning with the defense and the run and he's only got 17 targets in 3 games. ankle thing is annoying. honestly feels underused.

Jefferson's down year was still elite by ordinary standards. He is the complete receiver: pace, leverage, hands, competitive toughness and the ability to command a game without forcing it. Better quarterback compatibility should unlock the usual ceiling.

Strengths: Six straight 1,000-yard seasons, elite route-running, catch skills, competitiveness, and franchise-defining production.

Weaknesses: Opponents will continue to build coverage plans around him, and his 2025 target efficiency reflected the quarterback instability around him.
