Van Jefferson - Page 24 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes most of playing time Jefferson caught four of five targets for 45 yards during Sunday's 37-19 win over Philadelphia.

Impact The rookie played just 19 offensive snaps, so he was definitely a factor when on the field. Additionally, while fellow receiver Josh Reynolds played more (42 offensive snaps), he was only targeted twice. For the time being, it looks like both Jefferson and Reynolds will limit the other's production and upside, even if Jefferson is probably more talented and likely the best long-term option for the Rams and fantasy managers.

Shows off on 31-yard grab Jefferson caught one of his three targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 20-17 win over Dallas.

Impact While Jefferson only recorded the single catch, it was an impressive 31-yard reception showcasing the route running, separation and ball skills that have been attributed to the rookie throughout training camp. He played just 33 of 73 offensive snaps, which ranked fourth among Los Angeles wide receivers, but Jefferson could quickly carve out a larger role and leapfrog Josh Reynolds on the depth chart. Additionally, if Robert Woods or Cooper Kupp were ever injured, Jefferson is likely a better fit for an increased workload than Reynolds. Keep tabs on the rookie. His long-term outlook is promising.

Pushing for No. 3 job Jefferson could see more opportunities than Josh Reynolds this season, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rodrigue's projection of the 53-man roster suggests Jefferson -- rather than Reynolds -- will be the No. 3 receiver behind Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods. This outcome shouldn't be fully assumed, but it's a reasonable expectation given that Reynolds mostly failed to impress in previous opportunities and Jefferson is a rookie second-round pick. Both players' roles mya not be clarified until after the Rams' Week 1 matchup with the Cowboys.

Impressing early in camp Jefferson has caught coach Sean McVay's eye thus far in training camp, Cameron DeSilva of USA Today reports.

Impact In particular, McVay noted the rookie's separation skills, body control, work ethic and attention to detail in meetings. The praise shouldn't be surprising, though. Jefferson's father was a 13-year pro and now is wide receivers coach for the Jets, and the Florida alum's route running was a highlighted strength leading into the 2020 NFL Draft. Additionally, Jefferson appears to be fully recovered from the foot surgery he underwent this past March. Still, with an unprecedented offseason and no preseason games, it's difficult to project the rookie's fantasy outlook. As it stands, Jefferson should carve out a role over the course of the season while battling fourth-year receiver Josh Reynolds for playing time as the No. 3 wideout on the depth chart behind Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods.
