Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson experienced a relative down year in 2025, reeling 84 catches for a career-low 1,048 yards and just two touchdowns.
However, Jefferson’s NFL peers still view him as one of the best players in the league.
On Monday, Jefferson was announced as the No. 19 player on the 2026 NFL Top 100 rankings — as voted on by the league’s active players.
Jefferson has recorded at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of his six NFL seasons, including his 2023 campaign in which he missed seven games. In 2022, he led the NFL with 128 catches for 1,809 yards — claiming Offensive Player of the Year honors.
“18 at 19,” the Vikings wrote on social media in response to Jefferson’s NFL Top 100 ranking.
Jefferson dealt with inconsistent and subpar quarterback play throughout the 2025 season, catching passes from JJ McCarthy, Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer. This coming season, he’s preparing to build chemistry with new starting signal caller Kyler Murray.
The Vikings will open up their 2026 regular-season schedule with a Week 1 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 13.
