When speaking about the elite wide receivers in the NFL, there’s no doubt that Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson should be one of the first names mentioned. Since entering the NFL in 2020, Jefferson has been nothing but productive out wide, and he’s poised for another stellar campaign this season.
With the Vikings looking to be a pass-heavy team again, there is tremendous value in taking Jefferson to lead the NFL in receiving touchdowns this season.

2023 NFL best bet: Most receiving TDs
WR Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings (+1200)
In each of Jefferson’s first 3 seasons in the NFL, he’s tallied at least 88 receptions, 1,400 receiving yards, and 7 receiving touchdowns for the Vikings. Just last season, he led the league in targets (184), receptions (128), and receiving yards (1,809).
While 8 receiving TDs was a solid output by Jefferson a season ago, he had 10 in 2021. And there’s reason to believe he can see an uptick in touchdowns this season.
The All-Pro wideout led the NFL in routes run in 2022 and in the red zone, Jefferson tied Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce for a league-best 19 targets inside the opponent’s 20-yard line, according to Pro Football Reference. The only problem is that Jefferson caught only 9 of those targets and 5 of them resulted in touchdowns.
After moving on from RB Dalvin Cook this offseason and having a pass-oriented offense under coach Kevin O’Connell, Jefferson should see plenty of scoring opportunities again this season.
Jefferson is arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL, and for him to have the 6th-best odds to lead the league in receiving touchdowns in an offense that has a path toward having the most pass attempts is peculiar.
BET JUSTIN JEFFERSON to record the MOST RECEIVING TOUCHDOWNS (+1200) this season.
