Jefferson Among NFL.com’s Top Playmakers From Week…

Justin Jefferson is once again putting the league on notice.

The Vikings wide receiver did so during a dazzling 2020 season in which he set a Super Bowl-era rookie record with 1,400 receiving yards.

And after back-to-back monstrous games, the former LSU standout has people talking about him once again.

Adam Schein, a columnist for NFL.com, included Jefferson in his list of top playmakers from Week 11.

This guy is a certified stud. I voted him first-team All-Pro last year, when he set a rookie record with 1,400 receiving yards, and he’s been even better in Year 2. Just look at his inspired work over the last two weeks: nine catches for 143 yards in a 27-20 win over the Chargers; eight catches for 169 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-31 win over the Packers. Those two victories were enormous for the Vikings, who now find themselves right back in the playoff picture at 5-5, currently holding the NFC’s No. 6 seed. This is what I love about the 22-year-old wideout: his knack for making big plays in big games.

With 11 100-yard games to his name, Jefferson only trails Odell Beckham, Jr., (15) for the most such outings in the first two years of a career in NFL history. And hey, with seven games left in Jefferson’s sophomore campaign, OBJ’s seat on the throne isn’t exactly secure.
