Jefferson was the NFL's receiving leader in 2022. Can he do it without Kirk Cousins?
Since Justin Jefferson entered the NFL in 2020, his 5,899 receiving yards trail only Tyreek Hill's 6,024 among all players — and that's with Jefferson missing seven full games last season and parts of two others. Over that four-year span, Hill has played in five more games and has 59 more targets than Jefferson, who is the league's all-time leader in receiving yards per game at 98.3.
The quarterback context is obviously the biggest reason why Jefferson is down at fourth on the list. Kirk Cousins is gone, meaning the Vikings' superstar will be catching passes from Sam Darnold and/or rookie J.J. McCarthy this year. Hill, Lamb, and Chase all have established Pro Bowl quarterbacks throwing them the football in Tua Tagovaila, Dak Prescott, and Joe Burrow.
