He earned 29.2% of the targets against Cincinnati, and last week, he tallied his league-high eighth first-half game with 95+ receiving yards since 2020 (eight catches on eight targets) on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The scoreboard, the return of Jordan Addison, the quality of the moon that night \u2014 none of it matters. Jefferson is as inevitable as anyone at the position, and while the ceiling might now be at the tippy top of the mountain, his elevated floor is plenty to keep him as a WR1 no matter who is responsible for getting him the ball or who is playing defense.<\/p>\n<p>Are you looking for start\/sit advice for other players in your lineup?
