Justin Jefferson finished the 2022 NFL regular season with the most receiving yards (1,809) and the most receptions (128). He linked up excellently with quarterback Kirk Cousins throughout the campaign, helping the Minnesota Vikings win the NFC North division with a 13-4 record.
Jefferson caught eight touchdowns through the air and also rushed for one score while featuring in all 17 regular season games. The Vikings were tipped to make a deep run into the playoffs as their premier receiver was having a splendid campaign.
However, Jefferson didn't have the best of matches against the New York Giants in the Wild Card round. He finished with an underwhelming 47 receiving yards on seven receptions as Minnesota crashed out of the postseason. Nonetheless, the Vikings will be hoping to build their offense around Jefferson for next season.
