Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is the best wide receiver in the National Football League. It's been that way for a couple of years now.

However you want to look at it, it doesn't get better than Jefferson. He is a silky smooth, elite route runner who can attack you in many ways. He has the speed to take you vertical and he uses that to his advantage when breaking off routes.

Another best wide receivers list came out from Pro Football Focus' Sam Monson and it had Jefferson at the top.

Justin Jefferson remains the best receiver in the NFL. Injury cost him much of 2023, but in 10 games, he still cleared 1,000 yards and averaged 2.91 yards per route run. Now, he has to do it with a new quarterback after Kirk Cousins departed for Atlanta.

The mark of 1,000 yards in 10 games has only been done two prior times with one of those coming in the AFL. Jefferson can do literally anything you ask him to do as a wide receiver and having a rookie or Sam Darnold at quarterback shouldn't have any impact on his output.
