Justin Jefferson enters the 2026 NFL season with the Minnesota Vikings seeking a rebound from his 1,048 receiving yards in 2025. Through two games, he has posted 11 receptions for 147 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets while earning an 83.9 PFF grade. Kyler Murray, installed as the starter after offseason competition with J.J. McCarthy, suffered a concussion in Week 1 but is cleared to return for Week 3 against Tampa Bay following Carson Wentz’s effective relief work. Jefferson’s established target share and downfield production under Kevin O’Connell remain central, though Murray’s mobility and the Vikings’ early offensive efficiency will shape volume and yardage opportunities across the 17-game schedule. No injury concerns currently affect Jefferson’s availability.
