Justin Jefferson was seen as quarterback proof until J.J. McCarthy came along. Adding Kyler Murray doesn't seem to be the solution either. We saw an example of that in Arizona as Trey McBride and Michael Wilson exploded their fantasy stock once Murray stopped being the starter. Jefferson is an amazing player though and deserves any benefit of the doubt
Jason Wood
Jeff Haseley
Jefferson offers an elite, matchup-winning ceiling as the undisputed centerpiece of Kevin O'Connell's passing tree. Expect Kyler Murray to look his way often.
Phil Alexander
Pound for pound, he's still right there with Ja'Marr Chase as the best wide receiver in football. His 34 catches for 477 yards in five games with Carson Wentz last season showed how much J.J. McCarthy held him back. Kyler Murray is enough of an upgrade to return Jefferson to the fantasy elite.
Matt Waldman
While I believe Ja'Marr Chase is the most complete receiver in football, Justin Jefferson could make the same argument. We know that Jefferson was a positive influence on Chase at LSU.
We also know that Jefferson has been a fantasy WR1 with and without quality QB play. Kyler Murray may be the passer to test this idea.
Murray has only supported more than one fantasy player in the passing game in one season during his NFL career. This offseason, Tre McBride told the media that Murray often went immediately to McBride on a lot of plays, summarily skipping past Option 1, Marvin Harrison, Jr.
If this is about Harrison's game, we'll see Jefferson the ball and thrive. If this is about Murray not seeing the field well or reacting to pressure, we may see T.J. Hockenson earn the immediate checks at Jefferson's expense.
Expect a big year from Jefferson, but this potential trap door is worth monitoring.

Justin Jefferson gaining comfort level
Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson said he is building better chemistry with QB Kyler Murray now that Murray has been named the starter and is no longer splitting reps. 'So now he has it and the connection is definitely growing,' Jefferson said. 'Work needs to be done, but it comes with time and comes with just coming out here and just working together.'
Justin Jefferson to work with both QBs
Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson said he plans to work out with both QB Kyler Murray and QB J.J. McCarthy leading up to training camp.
