Normally, rookies in the NFL slowly "move on up" as their career develops, but this Mr. Jefferson seems to have started his career in that "deluxe apartment in the sky", so what could he possibly do as a follow-up to his historic rookie season? (props to you if you are old enough to get the references, apologies if you aren't!) Slaying Anquan Boldin's 16-year old record, and evoking memories of Randy Moss debut season with the Vikes, Jefferson was nearly unstoppable after his 7-175-1 outburst in Week 3. Tagged by many as the most NFL ready receiver coming into the 2020 draft, Jefferson by most metrics, was one of the best receivers in the league. He could get down the field deep (13th in average depth per target), make plays after the catch (14th in yards-after-catch) and score touchdowns (7). An expert route runner capable of the full route tree, Jefferson can, and will be a match-up nightmare in 2021. With a likely regression in receiving yards, the former LSU Tiger should be able to make that up with more receptions and an uptick in touchdowns. Baring a true catastrophe, I can't envision a scenario where Jefferson isn't a WR1 in all formats.

 Adam Thielen lands on injured reserve
Ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Dec 29, 12:48 pm
|  | The #Vikings placed Adam Thielen on injured reserve after he had surgery on his left ankle (@ChadGraff first on that). Thielen re-aggravated the injury on Sunday, and will obviously miss the final two games of the regular season. (Ben Goessling on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Thielen re-aggravated his ankle injury in Week 16 and will now miss the next three weeks after landing on IR. K.J. Osborn will fill in for Thielen and start opposite Justin Jefferson against the Packers. Osborn is a viable Flex option the last two weeks of the regular season.
