Deep Depth Role in Washington Keeps Veteran Off the Fantasy Radar

Van Jefferson enters his seventh season operating as a deep depth option for Washington. Listed behind Terry McLaurin and Dyami Brown on the left side of the depth chart, the veteran faces an uphill battle for snaps. Our models project Jefferson to secure just 19 receptions for 246 yards and a single touchdown, highlighting his minor role in this offense.

This limited projection aligns with his crashing market sentiment. Jefferson's average draft position has cratered from the 300s in early June to a fantasy-irrelevant 756 in July. With practically zero draft capital required, he has shifted from a deep flyer to a falling knife that fantasy managers in typical PPR leagues should avoid.

Current ownership trends reinforce this cautious outlook, as Jefferson is rostered in just 5% of leagues with a flat 0% start rate. Unless multiple injuries strike Washington's receiver room, he remains a roster-clogger. Fantasy managers can safely ignore him on draft day.
