Justin Jefferson News
Friday, March 13, 5:49 AM
Two-time All-Pro wide receiver Justin Jefferson is coming off the worst season of his career, his sixth with the Minnesota Vikings. Following a season of uninspired quarterback play from J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer, which led to career lows for Jefferson in terms of receiving yards and touchdowns, the team made a splash on Thursday by agreeing to a one-year deal with former first overall pick Kyler Murray. While Murray has never topped 4,000 passing yards in a season and has a spotty track record of supporting number one receivers, if he can reach anything approaching league-average quarterback play, Jefferson can thrive. A 31.4% target share in 2025 kept Jefferson afloat with some of the worst quarterback play in the league, while his lifetime average of 9.27 targets per game is a top-10 all-time number and one that Murray would be wise to continue bumping up if he wants to hit 2027 free agency on a high note.

Jahan Dotson News
Tuesday, March 10, 12:26 PM
Retired All-Pro wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. believes that new Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jahan Dotson "has developed enough" to handle the No. 2 receiver role behind Drake London, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic. The Falcons have released Darnell Mooney and KhaDarel Hodge, leaving only London, Casey Washington, and Deven Thompkins under contract in 2026. In addition to Dotson, the Falcons signed Olamide Zaccheaus on Monday. The 25-year-old former 16th overall pick by the Washington Commanders in 2022 out of Penn State only has 1,519 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns on 121 catches in his first four NFL seasons with the Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles, but his speed means he'll be "expected to play the field-stretcher role" that was handled the last two years by Mooney. Given Atlanta's big question mark at quarterback, Dotson figures to be a boom/bust WR4/5, at best, in fantasy in 2026.
