Fantasy Alert: Justin Jefferson Hypes Sam Darnold, J.J. McCarthy; Excited amid Battle

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson doesn't think he'll be getting such a downgrade at quarterback after all.

"All of the quarterbacks are doing great. J.J. is coming along, learning the playbook, and just getting comfortable being out there. Sam has been throwing bombs today, and he's been looking great as well," Jefferson told reporters. "I'm excited to see what all of the quarterbacks have during training camp and see who we're going to see during the season."

Jefferson has spent nearly his entire career hauling in passes from Kirk Cousins, a Pro Bowler who zeroed in on his top target and helped turn him into one of the NFL's best receivers.
