No wide receiver has owned the NFL quite like Justin Jefferson since 2020 — and ESPN just made it official. The Vikings superstar comes in at No. 2 on ESPN’s 2025 fantasy football WR rankings, and the case for him being No. 1 is undeniable.
The numbers speak for themselves:
•NFL leader in receiving yards since entering the league: 7,432
•Three straight seasons with 100+ receptions, 1,500+ yards, and 8+ touchdowns
•A Top-5 fantasy WR in every full season he’s played
•QB-proof in 2024 — even thriving with Sam Darnold under center
•Now paired with rookie QB J.J. McCarthy in a pass-heavy system primed for fireworks
At just 26 years old, Jefferson offers elite volume, elite efficiency, and unmatched route-running precision. He’s not just one of the safest picks in fantasy — he’s one of the few with true league-winning upside every single week.
Draft accordingly.
