Van Jefferson (LAR) was drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft only a few short weeks after the team shipped Brandin Cooks (LAR) out of town. By selecting Jefferson with the 57th pick of the draft, which coincidentally was the pick the Rams received in the deal with the Texans, it sure seems like the team views him as the direct replacement.
Still, the fantasy community as a whole does not appear to be overly enthused about Jefferson, which has been consistently been ranked outside of analyst’s top 30 rookie rankings.
