Justin Jefferson Gets Paid, But He's Still Not Fantasy's Top Wide Receiver

“Mamas, let your babies grow up to be wide receivers!”

The latest wideout to get his bag is fantasy superstar Justin Jefferson, who has agreed to a four-year, $140 million contract extension with the Minnesota Vikings, which makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history (at least, for right now).

Jefferson has been a stat-sheet monster ever since he entered the league, averaging no fewer than 17 fantasy points per game in a single season. Over the last two years, that average has jumped over 20 points per game. He’s also averaged over 106 receiving yards per game and has scored 14 total touchdowns in that time (27 games).
