In 1 Big Thing, Blair Andrews uses the RotoViz tools to take a deep dive into an interesting, unique, and potentially actionable development from the last week of fantasy football.
On Thanksgiving day, Justin Jefferson had his seventh 100-yard game of the season.
That’s more than Cooper Kupp had through 12 weeks in 2021. It’s more than Stefon Diggs had through 12 weeks in 2020. It’s the same number Michael Thomas had through 12 weeks in 2019.
Jefferson’s 1,232 receiving yards through 12 weeks rank No. 8 since 2000. His current performance is being somewhat overshadowed by Tyreek Hill’s 1,233 yards, which rank No. 7. (Hill has only five 100-yard games, however.) But what Jefferson is doing is truly unprecedented. With his latest performance, he became the all-time leader in total receiving yards in a player’s first three seasons.
