Justin jefferson stts3/26/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In terms of raw stats, Percy Harvin is a bit of an odd duck here. Justin Jefferson 2020 stats: 12 games played, 10 started, 61 receptions, 1039 yards, 7 TDs, 17.0 yards/reception. Randy Moss 1998 stats: 16 games played, 11 started, 69 receptions, 1313 yards, 17 TDs, 19.0 yards/reception Percy Harvin 2009 stats: 15 games played, 8 started, 60 receptions 790 yards, 6 TDs, 13.2 yards/receptionĪnquan Bolden 2003 stats: 16 games played, 16 started, 101 receptions 1377 yards, 8 TDs, 13.6 yards/reception OBJ 2014 season stats: 12 games played 11 started, 91 receptions, 1305 yards, 12 TDs, 14.3 yards/reception Still, I also think it’s worth comparing Jefferson to that WR ROY lists to see if we can answer those two important questions: will his play continue for this year, and will it carry to next season? It’s not really in the scope of what I do here for fantasy football purposes to make an argument for ROY. So, besides maybe Percy Harvin (sorry, Percy), it usually takes a pretty impressive WR to win ROY. This award, like most awards in the NFL, tends to be primarily for QBs, and the last 4 WR winners of the award were all-star players: Odell Beckham Jr., Percy Harvin, Anquan Boldin and, a guy Jefferson is matching in terms of franchise rookie records, Randy Moss. So much focus that he seems to be the favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award. ![]() But given the injury to Joe Burrow and the dip in production from Justin Herbert, a lot more focus has been on Jefferson recently because of some recent big games and an impressive TD streak. It’s not true to say that Justin Jefferson is on a recent, second-half of the season, hot streak – he’s been productive for a while. Two parts of these streaks are worth asking about, though, as they begin to ramp up: 1) is this hot-streak going to continue through the playoffs, and 2) will that positive momentum carry on to the next season? There are really not too many surprises left, but one thing that happens every season is that, whether it’s because of late-season adjustments or injuries, some players start to get on hot streaks and can help roll people to fantasy championships. In Narrative Breakers, I’ll explore reasons why some narratives aren’t as likely to occur as the story goes.Īs the fantasy season begins winding down, most storylines have already either played themselves out or are basically going as expected. We want to hope that something exceptional will occur, that the unprecedented is inevitable, and we often go into great detail to tell a story as to why, this time, it’ll happen. NFL narratives play on that same feeling. Everybody likes a good underdog story-someone who overcomes all odds and achieves something that was thought to be almost impossible. ![]()
