After posting a 50-802-6 line in his sophomore campaign, Jefferson looked like he was on the cusp of becoming a 1,000-yard receiver for Stafford and company. Instead, he underwent knee surgery early in training camp and wouldn't make his 2022 debut until Oct. 30, meaning he only shared the huddle with Kupp and Stafford for three games. Even taking that into account, the results weren't pretty for the Florida product as he finished the season with just 24 catches for 369 yards and 3 TDs.
Jefferson is entering a critical time in his young career as he'll be a free agent after the season and could be in line for a payday if he can stay healthy and prove he's a legitimate starting NFL receiver. Looking at the depth chart after Kupp, there's nothing standing between Jefferson and a major role -- he finished second on the club in receiving in 2021, and that was when he had to share snaps with Robert Woods and Odell Beckham Jr., so his ceiling should be higher in 2023. He'd be an interesting late-round flier as your fifth or sixth fantasy wideout.
Other names to know at the position include Ben Skowronek, who looked like a poor man's Kupp last season with 39 receptions for 376 yards in 14 games before a calf injury put him on the shelf, and Tutu Atwell, a 2021 second-round pick that has done precious little since being drafted. Veteran Demarcus Robinson was also signed after a 48-catch season with the Ravens, and he seems like a fallback option in case none of the younger receivers step up. Nobody here is worth drafting.
