Trends


"Jefferson enters his sixth NFL season as one of the best in the league at his position. The 26-year-old has produced a league-high 7,432 receiving yards since his arrival in 2020, having put up at least 100 catches, 1,500 yards and eight TDs in his last three full seasons. Jefferson has finished four straight seasons as a top-5 fantasy receiver on a per-game basis and showed he was QB-proof in 2024, finishing top 5 in catches, yards and TDs with Sam Darnold under center. Darnold is gone, but 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy could conceivably be an upgrade in Kevin O'Connell's pass-first scheme. Jefferson should be one of the first players off the board on draft day."


"Jefferson endured a tough season due to the Vikings' issues at quarterback, but with his first 100-yard performance since Week 5, the superstar wideout was able to record his sixth straight 1,000-yard campaign to begin his career. Jefferson wraps up the season with an 84-1,048-2 line on 141 targets, the worst yardage and touchdown totals of his career. One of Minnesota's biggest priorities this offseason will be finding a way to build chemistry between J.J. McCarthy (hand) and his most talented target."

Justin Jefferson's receiving yards have increased by 117.46% over the past 6 weeks.

Justin Jefferson's target share has increased by 43.91% over the past 6 weeks.

Justin Jefferson's targets have decreased by 40.32% over the past 12 weeks.

Justin Jefferson's receptions have increased by 50.0% over the past 6 weeks.

Justin Jefferson's receiving touchdowns have decreased by 75.0+% over the past 20 weeks.

I. Player News & Analysis


ESPN

RotoWire

Trends


"Walker is entering his fourth NFL season eyeing a bounce-back after injuries limited him to career-low marks in touches, yardage and touchdowns in 2024. The good news is that the 2022 second-round pick remained Seattle's clear feature back and was productive when active. In those 11 games, he averaged 18.1 touches, 79.3 yards and a career-high 16.5 fantasy points per game. Despite the missed action, Walker hit career-best marks in targets, catches and receiving yards thanks to a hefty 14% target share (fifth highest among RBs). Still only 24 years old, Walker is a prime rebound candidate and the boost in receiving work (assuming that sticks under new OC Klint Kubiak) adds to his ceiling. Walker is a solid RB2 target."


"Walker worked in a nearly even split with Zach Charbonnet, but Seattle's run-heavy game plan allowed both to turn in strong performances. Four of Walker's rushing attempts went for double-digit yards, the longest of which was a 19-yard scamper late in the third quarter to convert on third down to keep a game-clinching drive alive. He also had three-plus receptions for the second time in his last three games while tallying his third-highest yardage total as a pass catcher on the season. While Walker will continue to work in a split with Charbonnet, the former has managed over 100 yards from scrimmage in two of the final three games to close the regular season. Finally, this performance pushed Walker over 1,000 rushing yards in the regular season, his first time achieving that threshold since his rookie year."

Kenneth Walker III's targets have decreased by 45.45% over the past 6 weeks.

Kenneth Walker III's rushing yards have decreased by 24.52% over the past 8 weeks.

Kenneth Walker III's rushing touchdowns have increased by 100% over the past 6 weeks.

Kenneth Walker III's receiving yards per attempt has increased by 125.62% over the past 6 weeks.
