In first place? Tyreek Hill with just one more yard at 1,233.

What’s even more bananas about Hill’s season is that his teammate Jaylen Waddle is currently in fifth with 963 receiving yards.

Jefferson also ranks third in receptions with 81 behind only Hill (87) and Stefon Diggs (84) and Diggs is third in receiving yards with 1,110.

The NFL has some tremendous receivers and the best of them all is proving it with the Vikings.
