ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Justin Jefferson had a dominant performance in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans. Jefferson led the Vikings in receptions (7), receiving yards (175), and targets (9) in the game. A good chunk of his yards came on a 71-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter.
Jefferson is now averaging 20.4 yards per reception over 12 catches on the year, showing his clear big play ability. Even if you take away his 71-yard catch in Week 3, he's still averaging 15.8 yards per reception on the year. He's stepping into a Stefon Diggs-like role with the Vikings and capitalizing on the fact that defenses are more focused on the team's No. 1 receiver Adam Thielen.
The Vikings used a first-round pick on Jefferson this year for a reason and he should continue to have opportunities to make plays for an offense very much in need of play-makers. He should be added in all leagues and can be considered a WR3 option for now with room for growth.
