Justin Jefferson

Nacua's 79-990-3 line from this season looks like a decline from his 2023 campaign. Then, you remember he played in just 11-of-17 games and averaged more receptions per game (7.2) and receiving yards per game (90.0) than he did as a rookie and that he was on pace for a 1,500-yard season. Knee injuries followed Nacua for much of the year. A bursted bursa sac in his right knee in training camp led to Nacua missing most of camp. Then, in Week 1, Nacua suffered a sprained PCL and immediately landed on injured reserve, which resulted in him missing five games. Nacua's 30 percent target share on the season tied him with Justin Jefferson for the second-highest target share in the league among receivers. His fantasy impact in 2025 could be somewhat affected by what Matthew Stafford decides to do in the offseason, but as long as Sean McVay return to coach another year, the targets should continue to be there for Nacua, who will profile as a WR1 barring any major changes.

St. Brown entered 2024 off the heels of a true breakout season with 119 catches for 1,515 yards. The only blemish, if you can even call it that, was a modest touchdown total of 10. Determined to do right by fantasy managers, ARSB upped the scoring total to 12 as the Detroit offense found yet another gear under Jared Goff. The downside was that his yardage total dropped by 252, primarily driven by a decline of 23 targets, despite St. Brown playing one more game than he did in 2023. Detroit threw less this year, but St. Brown also ceded a few points of target share to Jameson Williams, who finally found his stride after a rocky start to his career. St. Brown remains the team's No. 1 receiver and an elite fantasy option, but he has likely topped out at a notch below the likes of Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase.

Jefferson appeared visibly frustrated on the sideline in the second half after failing to coral any of the three targets thrown his way after the break, potentially a sign of a lack of trust in quarterback Sam Darnold. That is of particular intrigue considering the franchise reportedly loves J.J. McCarthy and Darnold's contract terminates this year, something that could lead to a change at signal caller heading into the new league year in Minnesota. Jefferson's stellar 2024 season ends with 103 catches for 1,533 yards and 10 touchdowns, narrowly edged in the receptions department by triple crown-winning wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase.

Jefferson secured five of eight targets for 58 yards in the Vikings' 27-9 wild-card loss to the Rams on Monday night. He finished the 2024 regular season with 103 receptions for 1,533 yards and 10 touchdowns, one rush for three yards and a fumble that Minnesota retained possession of across 17 games.

Lamar Jackson beat out Josh Allen, and Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson are unanimous choices for The AP 2024 NFL All-Pro Team.
