Here’s our expert outlook and rankings for Van Jefferson.
Van Jefferson didn’t necessarily take off during his second season, but he earned the trust of the coaching staff to earn a near every-down role — unhead at the position for a No. 3 wide receiver.
Jefferson finished 20th in route participation (86%) and should maintain that high-end usage heading into the 2022 season. In that role last season, Jefferson finished as WR35 overall on the season and outside the top 40 in points per game.
The Rams’ vertical threat is the rare WR handcuff that would see his production spike should an injury occur to either Cooper Kupp or Allen Robinson.
