Justin Jefferson building connection with QB
Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson has participated in voluntary workouts this offseason because he is working on building chemistry with QB J.J. McCarthy.

"
Justin Jefferson is considered quarterback proof. With an unproved J.J. McCarthy up for Minnesota, I'm moving him down a touch. The guys ahead of him dont have this issue.
"
Jason Wood
"QB situation only reason he's not No. 1"
Matt Waldman
"
A top-three talent at his position, Jefferson has proven he can produce with a wide range of quarterbacks. He's a safe WR1 value for fantasy leagues even if the potential variance in outcomes he could experience with J.J. McCarthy is greater than the quarterbacks I ranked ahead of him.
"
Ben Cummins
"
Amazing athlete at 202 pounds. His receiving yards floor in four seasons of 16+ games in the NFL is 1,400.
"
Ryan Weisse
"When it comes to talent, you'd be hard pressed to put anyone ahead of Jefferson. However, his QB, JJ McCarthy, is basically an unknown commodity. Jefferson is going to be great, but he feels like the least safe option in the Top 5."
