News

  • Quiet outing against Giants

    Jefferson caught three of his four targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 38-11 win over New York.

    Analysis: There haven't been enough targets left over for Jefferson after Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, Tyler Higbee and Darrell Henderson all receive their share, and It's unlikely Jefferson garners more looks in the immediate future, either. Additionally, deep-threat DeSean Jackson will continue in his role. It will probably take an injury to a fellow pass catcher for Jefferson to see an uptick in target volume, and he projects to remain an inconsistent fantasy asset in the meantime.

  • Single catch in win

    Jefferson played 39 of the Rams' 67 offensive snaps and caught one of four targets for 16 yards in Thursday's 26-17 win over Seattle.

    Analysis: Wit the Rams making a concerted effort to get fellow wide receiver Robert Woods (14 targets) more involved and Cooper Kupp (10 targets) receiving his usual steady volume, there weren't many looks left over for Jefferson. While there's no doubt Jefferson is firmly behind Woods and Kupp on the pecking order, the second-year player looks fiirmly positioned as the No. 3 receiver on the depth chart, as he's played more snaps than DeSean Jackson in every game this season. Still, Jackson's ability to…read more

  • Big day in loss to Cards

    Jefferson caught all six of his targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The Arizona secondary did a good job containing Cooper Kupp, and as a result it was Jefferson who led the Rams in catches and receiving yards. The 90 yards were a season high for the second-year receiver while the TD was his second in four games, and Jefferson is emerging as a reliable secondary option for Matthew Stafford heading into a Week 5 clash with the Seahawks.

  • More involved against Bucs

    Jefferson caught four of six targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 34-24 win over Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout played 50 of 65 offensive snaps and is up to seven receptions for 136 yards and a touchdown through the first three weeks. Jefferson has been a fixture in the offense, but outside of his 67-yard touchdown catch Week 1, he's failed to move the fantasy needle. Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford has clicked with fellow wide receiver Cooper Kupp to the tune of 25 receptions, 367 yards and five touchdowns already, and with Robert Woods and DeSean Jackson also on the…read more

  • Quiet in win

    Jefferson secured one of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: After a solid fantasy performance in Week 1, Jefferson came crashing back down to earth. The 25-year-old wide receiver finished fourth in targets on the Rams for the second week in a row, but his offensive snap percentage jumped from 69 percent in Week 1 to 92 percent in Week 2. In a high-powered offense, Jefferson will have some strong performances, but predicting when those breakout performances may happen is tough. However, his chances of one could be higher than expected in Week 3 against a…read more

  • Breaks off long score on SNF

    Jefferson corralled two of three targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-14 win over Chicago.

    Analysis: Matthew Stafford connected with Jefferson on a big 67-yard touchdown on the national stage. The 2020 second-round pick still finished fourth in the pecking order of targets, so fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to the gaudy final line. Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods remain atop the depth chart, so Jefferson is more of a boom-or-bust option heading into Week 2 when the Rams take on the Colts.

  • Healthy for regular season

    Jefferson (arm) isn't listed on the Rams' injury report Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Sean McVay didn't unveil the first-team skill-position players this preseason, but Jefferson may have missed time anyway due to what was initially believed to be a false positive test for COVID-19 and a right arm issue that caused him to wear a brace. Now healthy in advance of the regular season, Jefferson is set to serve as L.A.'s No. 3 wide receiver behind Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp. However, Jefferson may have to contend for reps with free-agent addition DeSean Jackson and 2021…read more

  • Practices Thursday

    Though Jefferson is sporting a soft brace over his right arm, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic notes that the wideout is "good to go" for Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Jefferson is evidently past a recent COVID-19 situation that coach Sean McVay believed at the time was a false positive test result. Assuming the 2020 second-rounder's arm issue is a minor one, he'll have a chance to suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders. Jefferson is competing with veteran DeSean Jackson for the Rams' No. 3 wideout slot behind Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp.

  • Facing COVID issue

    Jefferson is dealing with a COVID-19 situation that coach Sean McVay believes is a false positive test result, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It appears Jefferson tested positive for the virus, though there's been no confirmation that's the case. The 25-year-old figures to remain away from the team until the issue is settled, or until he clears the health and safety protocols if a positive result is confirmed.

  • More comfortable ahead of Year 2

    Jefferson has established himself as a legitimate receiver who head coach Sean McVay is counting on entering the 2021 season, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The 57th overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, Jefferson wasn't a major factor in the Los Angeles offense as a rookie. He recorded just 19 receptions for 220 yards and a touchdown. However, with Josh Reynolds signing with the Titans during the offseason, there's an opportunity for Jefferson to climb the depth chart. His fantasy value is still a little murky, though, considering the Rams signed field-stretcher DeSean Jackson, and they also drafted speedster Tutu Atwell in the second round of…read more

  • Role is probably secure

    Jefferson should continue to see his role increased in the passing game next season, even with the selection of Tutu Atwell in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: While Los Angeles did make Atwell its first selection in the draft, he's probably not going to impact Jefferson's expected growth in his second season in the league. Atwell definitely could cut into Jefferson's snap and target share, but Jefferson flashed potential as a rookie and has the acumen to be a reliable receiver this season -- especially in a possession, move-the-chains role.

  • Finds end zone in playoff loss

    Jefferson recorded six receptions on seven targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' divisional-round loss to the Packers on Saturday.

    Analysis: Jefferson took advantage of the absence of Cooper Kupp, finishing second on the team in both targets and receptions. Although only one of his catches went for a gain of 10 or more yards, he did account for a touchdown with a four-yard reception late in the second quarter. Jefferson finished his rookie season with only 19 receptions for 220 yards and a touchdown across 16 regular-season games, though his role could increase in 2021 if Josh Reynolds departs in free agency.

  • Opportunity knocks Saturday

    With Cooper Kupp (knee) inactive, Jefferson is a candidate for added opportunities in Saturday's playoff game against the Packers, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: DaSilva also suggests that the Rams could utilize two tight ends more often Saturday, but with Kupp out of the wide receiver mix, Jefferson figures to see added snaps/targets in the team's offense alongside Robert Woods and Josh Reynolds.

  • Only plays on special teams

    Jefferson didn't play an offensive snap during Saturday's 30-20 win over Seattle.

    Analysis: After collecting a season-high 50 receiving yards Week 17 against Arizona, the rookie watched from the sidelines with Cooper Kupp back in action after a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list. It was just the second game all season that Jefferson didn't receive an offensive snap, so it's likely he's back in the fold next Saturday in the divisional-round matchup against the Packers. However, fantasy managers probably shouldn't view the first-year receiver as anything more than a flier given his…read more

  • Hits 50 receiving yards sans Kupp

    Jefferson reeled in four of eight targets for 50 yards during Sunday's 18-7 win against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Jefferson had totaled only four receptions for 27 yards over his preceding five appearances combined entering Week 17. Cooper Kupp's presence on the reserve/COVID-19 list opened up opportunities for the second-round rookie, however, as Jefferson established a new single-game high in receiving during the regular-season finale. Los Angeles' campaign will extend into next week by virtue of a wild-card berth, but Jefferson's potential fantasy value will hinge largely on Kupp's availability for a…read more

  • Potential starting role awaits

    Jefferson is expected to see regular snaps in three-receiver sets Sunday against the Cardinals with Cooper Kupp (illness) ruled out for the contest, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Kupp's move to the reserve/COVID-19 list following his positive test for the coronavirus opens up room for Jefferson to work alongside Robert Woods and Josh Reynolds. Though both wideouts have consistently seen more involvement than Jefferson in the passing game throughout the season, predicting the distribution of targets among the team's receivers will be more difficult than usual with the unproven John Wolford set to start at quarterback in place of Jared Goff, who has been ruled out for…read more

  • Hardly plays in loss

    Jefferson played 14 offensive snaps and failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 20-9 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: The rookie's lone target was thrown behind him, as Jefferson's debut season continues to underwhelm. He should receive more opportunities in 2021 with No. 3 wide receiver Josh Reynolds currently in the final season of his rookie deal and a candidate to move on in the offseason. Week 17 doesn't look promising for Jefferson, either. Quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) underwent surgery Monday, and backup QB John Walford hasn't played a competitive game since the 2019 preseason.

  • Targeted once in loss

    Jefferson played 14 offensive snaps and failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: The rookie has now failed to collect a reception in three of the past four games. To make matters worse, with the Rams 17.5-point favorites at home, this should have set up for Jefferson to see an extended role, especially considering veteran receiver Robert Woods missed Wednesday's practice and was limited Thursday with a thigh injury. Jefferson projects to remain a depth option over the final two weeks of the regular season with Los Angeles battling for the best playoff seeding possible.

  • Plays decoy in win

    Jefferson didn't receive a target on 19 offensive snaps during Thursday's 24-3 win over New England.

    Analysis: The Rams ran for 186 yards and were especially effective in 12 personnel against the Patriots on Thursday, so quarterback Jared Goff didn't need to attack through the air often. As a result, there weren't many opportunities for Jefferson. The rookie was more involved last week with four receptions and 40 offensive snaps, but the game script didn't work in his favor this week. Additionally, it was discouraging to see fourth-year receiver Josh Reynolds play more than Jefferson on Thursday,…read more

    Jefferson caught four of five targets for 27 yards and played 40 of 83 offensive snaps during Sunday's 38-28 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: This was just the third multi-reception game of the season for Jefferson. However, his increased snap count is definitely encouraging, as he played more than No. 3 wide receiver Josh Reynolds (38 offensive snaps). While it could be a sign of things to come, it's unlikely Reynolds has been completely leapfrogged by the rookie. Instead, Jefferson and Reynolds will probably see similar snap and target shares moving forward. Furthermore, splitting time as the No. 3 wideout likely won't provide…read more

  • Scores first career touchdown

    Jefferson caught his only target for a seven-yard touchdown during Monday's 27-24 win over Tampa Bay. He only played four offensive snaps.

    Analysis: The rookie has played sparingly to this point of the season and has just six receptions for 67 yards and the lone score over the past five games. However, he's only been targeted six times during the noted span, so Jefferson's efficiency is notable. Additionally, he's reinforced all the positive skills that have been attributed to him since being selected in Round 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft. While Jefferson's depth role has him off the fantasy radar in most seasonal settings for now, he's showing…read more

    Jefferson caught his only target for 15 yards during Sunday's 23-16 win over Seattle.

    Analysis: The rookie only played 13 offensive snaps and continued to be featured sparingly in the passing attack. Jefferson currently doesn't offer a lot of fantasy value, but he should be more involved in years to come. His long-term outlook remains promising.

    Jefferson caught both his targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 28-17 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: While the rookie played just 14 of 95 offensive snaps, he's now caught at least one pass in three consecutive games. Obviously, he'll need to do more to warrant a roster spot in most seasonal fantasy settings, but his long-term outlook remains intriguing.

    Analysis: All the hype Jefferson has garnered since being selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft was on display on his 14-yard reception Monday. The rookie ran an excellent route along the sideline and kept both feet in bounds while securing the difficult catch to move the chains. The reception also helped set up Los Angeles' first touchdown of the game. Still, Jefferson is buried on the depth chart and not receiving enough playing time to move the fantasy needle in the majority of seasonal…read more

    Jefferson caught an eight-yard pass during Sunday's 24-16 loss to San Francisco. He played just three offensive snaps.

    Analysis: This was the sixth catch of the season for the rookie and first since Week 2, so while it's nice to see quarterback Jared Goff look Jefferson's way Sunday, he's probably still a long shot to be a reliable fantasy asset in the immediate future. Veteran receivers Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp and Josh Reynolds consistently are seeing more playing time, and tight ends Tyler Higbee and Gerald Everett also remain active in the passing game.

    Jefferson played 18 offensive snaps but wasn't targeted during Sunday's 30-10 win over Washington.

    Analysis: The rookie is off the seasonal fantasy radar at this point. He hasn't caught a pass since Week 2 and is playing sparingly. Jefferson garnered praise during the offseason and is billed as a polished route runner with plus hands. However, it's clear that he's currently fourth on the wide receiver depth chart, and he's likely to continue being a non-factor barring an injury to one of the team's other WRs.

    Jefferson only played three offensive snaps and failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: The rookie has now played just 11 offensive snaps over the past two weeks, so fantasy managers should probably be looking elsewhere in the majority of seasonal settings. There's potential, especially in the years to come, but Jefferson's probably nothing more than a player to keep tabs on at this stage of the 2020 campaign.

    Jefferson only played eight offensive snaps and failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 35-32 loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: This was a bit of a surprising disappearing act from Jefferson. Los Angeles turned to their three experienced wide receivers Sunday, and the rookie wasn't a factor. Third-year wideout Josh Reynolds played 62 snaps and was the clear-cut No. 3 option through the air against Buffalo with four receptions for 60 yards. As usual, Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods were busy. They combined for 14 receptions, 181 yards and two touchdowns. Jefferson remains an intriguing long-term prospect, but his immediate…read more

  • Makes most of playing time

    Jefferson caught four of five targets for 45 yards during Sunday's 37-19 win over Philadelphia.

    Analysis: The rookie played just 19 offensive snaps, so he was definitely a factor when on the field. Additionally, while fellow receiver Josh Reynolds played more (42 offensive snaps), he was only targeted twice. For the time being, it looks like both Jefferson and Reynolds will limit the other's production and upside, even if Jefferson is probably more talented and likely the best long-term option for the Rams and fantasy managers.

    Jefferson caught one of his three targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 20-17 win over Dallas.

    Analysis: While Jefferson only recorded the single catch, it was an impressive 31-yard reception showcasing the route running, separation and ball skills that have been attributed to the rookie throughout training camp. He played just 33 of 73 offensive snaps, which ranked fourth among Los Angeles wide receivers, but Jefferson could quickly carve out a larger role and leapfrog Josh Reynolds on the depth chart.

  • Pushing for No. 3 job

    Jefferson could see more opportunities than Josh Reynolds this season, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Rodrigue's projection of the 53-man roster suggests Jefferson -- rather than Reynolds -- will be the No. 3 receiver behind Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods. This outcome shouldn't be fully assumed, but it's a reasonable expectation given that Reynolds mostly failed to impress in previous opportunities and Jefferson is a rookie second-round pick. Both players' roles may not be clarified until after the Rams' Week 1 matchup with the Cowboys.

    Jefferson has caught coach Sean McVay's eye thus far in training camp, Cameron DeSilva of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: In particular, McVay noted the rookie's separation skills, body control, work ethic and attention to detail in meetings. The praise shouldn't be surprising, though. Jefferson's father was a 13-year pro and now is wide receivers coach for the Jets, and the Florida alum's route running was a highlighted strength leading into the 2020 NFL Draft. Additionally, Jefferson appears to be fully recovered from the foot surgery he underwent this past March. Still, with an unprecedented offseason and no…read more
