With sports on pause due to COVID-19, many folks have already shifted their attention to the 2020 fantasy football season.
With the draft last month, there are probably a few rookie drafts in dynasty leagues being planned out of pure boredom.
The folks over at Pro Football Focus do a great job of doing a deep dive into position rankings and looking at what kind of opportunity players could get.
The Vikings drafted Justin Jefferson with the 22nd overall pick hoping he can help fill the shoes Stefon Diggs left when he was traded to Buffalo.
PFF has Jefferson in the second tier of rookie receivers, behind only Jerry Jeudy, Ceedee Lamb and Henry Ruggs III.
Here’s what PFF wrote about Jefferson’s fit with the Vikings:
Jefferson landed in a good spot with the Vikings needing some help at wideout following the Stefon Diggs trade. While his skill set is somewhat redundant with Adam Thielen, we still think Jefferson can contribute as the No. 2 wideout right out of the gate. He has the makings of a future PPR standout.
If you have a pick in the mid to late first round, or need a receiver badly and the top three guys are gone, you could do a lot worse than taking a flier on Jefferson. He’ll certainly get an opportunity with the Vikings to succeed.
