  • Week 1 status TBD

    When asked if he expects Jefferson (knee) to be available for Week 1 action, coach Sean McVay acknowledged Monday "that's up in the air right now," Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: On Monday, it was revealed that Jefferson has "a little knee tweak" and will undergo "minor surgery" on Tuesday to address the issue. Though McVay noted that Jefferson's initial timetable for a return is a few weeks, the Rams expect to have a better feel for exactly when the wideout might return after they "see how the surgery goes." As long as Jefferson is sidelined, Ben Skowronek and Tutu Atwell, among others, figure to see added opportunities to push for early-season reps behind top WR…read more

  • Slated to undergo knee procedure

    Coach Sean McVay relayed Monday that Jefferson is slated to undergo minor knee surgery and is expected to be out for a few weeks, Eric D. Williams of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: While that's not an optimal development for the Rams' wideout corps, it does at this stage sound like Jefferson has a shot to be recovered before Week 1. When healthy, the 2020 second-rounder is projected to serve as the team's No. 3 WR option behind Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson. In Jefferson's absence, the likes of Ben Skowronek, Jacob Harris, Brandon Powell and Tutu Atwell should have added opportunities to make cases for early-season opportunities.

  • Set to see specialist Monday

    Jefferson will see a specialist Monday for a lingering knee issue and potentially could miss multiple weeks of training camp, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Jefferson underwent a minor knee procedure during the offseason but was expected to be fully healthy by the start of training camp. Per Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, Rams head coach Sean McVay declined to say whether the wideout's current situation was related to the knee procedure, but it's concerning either way. Second-year wideouts Ben Skowronek and Tutu Atwell figure to garner increased opportunities in three-wide sets during training camp with Jefferson expected to be sidelined for at…read more

  • Healthy after offseason procedure

    Jefferson is healthy for the start of training camp after undergoing a minor knee procedure early in the offseason, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 2020 second-round pick, who will turn 26 on Tuesday, played through the knee injury down the stretch last year, though he still took the field for every regular season and playoff game. Jefferson finished his second year in the league with 50 receptions for 802 yards and six touchdowns, and he should enter camp as Los Angeles' No. 3 wideout behind Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson.

  • Four grabs in Super Bowl win

    Jefferson brought in four of eight targets for 23 yards during the Rams' 23-20 win over the Bengals in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday.

    Analysis: The speedster came into the game still somewhat nursing a knee injury he'd suffered in the NFC Championship Game, and perhaps that played a role in his limited production even after Odell Beckham left the game for good in the second quarter due to his own knee issue. Jefferson was also the target on Matthew Stafford's first interception late in the first half, a ball that the Bengals' Jessie Bates came down with in the end zone. However, Jefferson's reception total actually tied him for second…read more

  • Logs full practice Thursday

    Jefferson (knee) was listed as a full participant at Thursday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: This marks Jefferson's first uncapped session since aggravating a knee injury during the Rams' win in the NFC Championship Game against the 49ers on Jan. 30. Now that he's set for Sunday's Super Bowl LVI matchup with the Bengals, he'll settle in behind Cooper Kupp and Odell Beckham as L.A.'s third wide receiver, which has amounted to a 25-394-3 line on 45 targets in 10 contests (including playoffs) with Beckham in the fold.

  • Listed as limited Wednesday

    Jefferson (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jefferson so far has been listed as limited on three of the Rams' four injury reports in advance of Super Bowl LVI (he sat out last Friday's session). A knee injury is to blame and also affected his practice reps ahead of the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 30. How Jefferson fares in practice Thursday and Friday likely will determine whether or not he has a designation for Sunday's game versus the Bengals.

  • No practice to close out week

    Jefferson (knee) didn't practice Friday, Tyler Dragon of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: It might seem like a step back after he was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but the Rams were cautious at Friday's practice and held out seven players. Assuming he returns next week, Jefferson will enter the Super Bowl as the team's No. 3 receiver -- a role that hasn't yielded much since mid-December.

  • Limited again Thursday

    Jefferson (knee) was limited at Thursday's walkthrough, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jefferson tended to a knee injury before and during the Rams' win in the NFC Championship Game versus the 49ers this past Sunday. The result in that contest was two catches (on five targets) for nine yards, and he's kicked off this week with back-to-back limited listings on the practice report. With more than a week to go ahead of a Super Bowl matchup against the Bengals on Sunday, Feb. 13, Jefferson doesn't appear to be in too much danger of ceding his spot as L.A.'s third wide receiver.

  • Listed as limited Wednesday

    Jefferson (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Prior to suiting up for the Rams' victory in the NFC Championship Game over the 49ers last weekend, Jefferson managed two limited practices due to a knee injury, with a decision on his availability coming down to the wire. The issue even forced him to miss some time during the aforementioned contest, but he returned and finished with two catches (on five targets) for nine yards. Fortunately for the second-year wide receiver, Jefferson will have two weeks to prepare for a Super Bowl matchup with…read more

  • Another lackluster showing

    Jefferson caught two of five targets for nine yards during Sunday's 20-17 win over the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.

    Analysis: The five targets were a playoff high for Jefferson, and he also missed time during the game with a knee injury. Additionally, with two weeks to heal up, the second-year wideout projects to be ready for the Super Bowl. He'll remain a risky fantasy option, though. Jefferson's been limited to just five receptions for 79 yards through three postseason games.

  • Returns to NFCCG

    Jefferson (knee) returned to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jefferson missed some time due to the knee injury that had been bothering him in the lead-up to the game, but he returned to the field in the second half. The No. 3 wide receiver could see some additional looks with tight end Tyler Higbee having been ruled out due to a knee injury of his own.

  • Return questionable due to knee

    Jefferson (knee) left Sunday's game against San Francisco.

    Analysis: Jefferson was tending to a knee injury heading into the game, and it appears to have flared up, leaving the wide receiver questionable to return to the NFC Championship Game. Ben Skowronek will see playing time in three-receiver sets for the duration of Jefferson's absence.

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Jefferson (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Jefferson tended to a knee injury in advance of this contest, being listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate before logging limited showings Thursday and Friday. At the same time, his recovery involved alternative treatments with an eye toward being available Sunday, per Josina Anderson of CBS Sports. After testing out the issue during a pregame warmup, Jefferson will be available to the Rams offense, but he'll be donning a sleeve on his left leg as he works as the team's…read more

  • Remains likely to play Sunday

    Jefferson (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers, is planning to play barring an unforeseen setback in his pregame workout, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.

    Analysis: According to Anderson, Jefferson has received "alternative treatments" for the knee injury he apparently picked up in the divisional-round win over the Buccaneers, as he was a non-participant Wednesday in the Rams' first practice this week. He then turned in limited showings in practices Thursday and Friday before taking the questionable designation into the weekend. Assuming Jefferson avoids the inactive list, he shouldn't be subject to a restricted snap count and likely will join Cooper Kupp…read more

  • Trending up for Sunday

    Jefferson (knee) is trending toward being active for Sunday's NFC Championship Game versus the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After a week in which he didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough and managed limited practices Thursday and Friday due to a knee injury, Jefferson officially is questionable to play Sunday. But the Rams are expecting the second-year wide receiver to handle his typical role, which has amounted to at least 70 percent of offensive snaps in six of nine appearances with Odell Beckham in the fold. Still, Jefferson has tallied just a 23-395-3 line on 40 targets during that stretch.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Jefferson (knee) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official website reports.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout played 90 percent of offensive snaps in last week's win over Tampa, before missing practice Wednesday and managing limited participation Thursday. That seemingly puts Jefferson on track to play, but if not, Ben Skowronek likely would be tasked with the No. 3 receiver role. Jefferson has caught three of four targets for 70 yards in two playoff games, unable to pick up the pace after a quiet finish to the regular season.

  • Gets back on practice field

    Jefferson (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Jefferson is easing into the week of prep, following up Wednesday's absence with some activity Thursday. He'll look to do enough to gain clearance to play in the NFC Championship Game at the Rams, whether it's following the release of Friday's practice report or 90 minutes before Sunday's 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • No activity due to knee issue

    Jefferson was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report due to a knee injury, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Rams merely held a walk-through session to kick off the week of prep, but Jefferson didn't join his teammates on the field. Prior to the workout, head coach Sean McVay didn't express concern about Jefferson's health, per Rodrigue. Nonetheless, Jefferson's status will be monitored to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.

  • Quiet against Bucs

    Jefferson caught two of his three targets for 29 yards and also had a 15-yard rush during Sunday's 30-27 win over Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Cooper Kupp, Odell Beckham and Tyler Higbee all received more targets than Jefferson again Sunday, and it's becoming more clear that the second-year wideout is likely to remain a secondary option in the passing attack. Jefferson's been limited to just 12 receptions for 193 yards through the past six games, and he's probably a risky start against the 49ers next week, albeit with modest upside.

  • Held to single reception in win

    Jefferson caught his lone target for a 41-yard gain Monday in the Rams' 34-11 wild-card round victory over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Quarterback Matthew Stafford didn't look Jefferson's way until the third quarter, but the second-year wideout was at least able to deliver a splash play. Stafford attempted only 17 passes all game, and the Rams rushed 38 times after jumping out to a commanding lead early and building it to 28-0 early in the third quarter. As a result, the game script wasn't a favorable one for Jefferson's fantasy potential. The meager production was a continuation of a concerning trend, as Jefferson has been…read more

  • Suiting up for wild-card round

    Jefferson (shoulder) is listed as active for Monday's wild-card game against the Cardinals, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Jefferson was a question mark for the Rams' postseason opener after logging limited practices Friday and Saturday, the result of a shoulder injury. It won't impact his ability to suit up Monday, but he'll be third, at best, in the pecking order at wide receiver behind Cooper Kupp and Odell Beckham. Jefferson's production was also sporadic over the final five games of the campaign, when he hauled in 11 of 19 targets for 181 yards and one touchdown. On a positive note, he had three catches of…read more

  • Questionable for postseason opener

    Jefferson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's wild-card game against the Cardinals, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Jefferson avoided the injury report for the entirety of his second pro campaign until the playoffs, when he was listed as limited both Friday and Saturday due to a shoulder injury. In a receiving corps that's been working without Robert Woods (knee) since Week 10, Jefferson's services are needed, even if he hasn't been on point for more than a month. In four appearances to close the regular season, Jefferson hauled in nine of 16 targets for 123 yards and no touchdowns while tallying a 10-yard…read more

    Analysis: Jefferson appeared on the Rams' initial weekly injury report Thursday with the same issue, though he was a full participant for the team's first practice session. The Rams haven't revealed whether Jefferson's limitations Friday was part of a pre-planned maintenance regimen or the result of a setback, but Saturday's injury report should shed light on the matter.

    Jefferson caught two of his three targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 27-24 loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: It was a disappointing final four games of the regular season for Jefferson, who finished with just nine receptions for 123 yards during that stretch and limited him to a 50-802-6 line for the year. Still, there were positive signs from the sophomore, and Jefferson clearly is an important piece of the passing attack for Los Angeles. It also wouldn't be surprising if his numbers improve during the duration of the Rams' playoff run. He probably still should be viewed as a risky fantasy target…read more

  • Catches four passes

    Jefferson caught four passes for 63 yards on five targets against Baltimore on Sunday.

    Analysis: Jefferson's five targets were somewhat disappointing on a day where Matthew Stafford threw 35 pass attempts, but the second-year wideout made up for it with strong efficiency, as he regularly does. While the structure of the Rams passing game and Cooper Kupp's dominance within it only leaves so much room for Jefferson's single-game upside, it's also true that the Rams passing game can only go so far without involving Jefferson. He should project reasonably well in any game that Stafford does.…read more

  • Catches one pass in win

    Jefferson caught one of six targets for six yards in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Jefferson had his worst statistical game of the season, though his six targets were tied for the third-most of any Rams pass catcher in the contest. The last two weeks have been a letdown for 25-year-old wideout, who had scored a touchdown in each of the preceding three games. He'll at least have a good opportunity to get back on track Week 17 as the Rams take on a struggling Baltimore secondary that just allowed 525 passing yards and four touchdowns to the Bengals' Joe Burrow in Week 16.

  • Quiet in Week 15 win

    Jefferson caught both his targets for 23 yards and carried once for a 10-yard gain during Tuesday's 20-10 win over Seattle.

    Analysis: Jefferson saw a three-game touchdown streak come to an end and accounted for his fewest yards from scrimmage since Week 6 in what amounted to a disappointing outing for the second-year wideout. He's still in the midst of a respectable season overall, registering 43 receptions for 702 yards and six touchdowns. While there's potential for Jefferson to take another step forward in 2022, the Rams have a crowded receiving corps, which has also contributed to his game-to-game inconsistency this…read more

    Jefferson and the Rams will no longer play the Seahawks on Sunday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET.

    Analysis: Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Rams organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, Los Angeles will be able to restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. After Tuesday's game, the Rams will face a quick turnaround for Week 16 with a Sunday game in Minnesota on Dec. 26.

    Jefferson caught two of three targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 30-23 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Jefferson, whose father serves as Arizona's wide receivers coach, made his presence felt with a 52-yard touchdown on play action to begin the third quarter. That grab extended his scoring streak to three games, matching that of teammate Odell Beckham. The duo has helped fill the void left by Robert Woods (knee). While Beckham's role within the offense continues to grow, as he finished with six catches for 77 yards and a touchdown Monday, Jefferson will nonetheless strive to keep his momentum…read more

  • Works more underneath

    Jefferson caught six passes for 41 yards and one touchdown on eight targets Sunday in the Rams' 37-7 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Jefferson operated as the Rams' perimeter threat to begin the season while Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods worked more underneath, but in light of Woods' season-ending injury and the addition of the more big-play oriented Odell Beckham, it makes sense for the Rams to give Jefferson the old Woods role while Beckham takes up more of the downfield responsibilities. If that continues going forward then it could allow Jefferson to draw targets and thus receptions more reliably than he did to begin the…read more

  • Tallies long touchdown

    Jefferson recorded three receptions on nine targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-28 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Jefferson recorded a season high in targets, though he was inefficient for the majority of the game. The primary exception came early in the second quarter when he beat one-on-one coverage deep down the middle of the field for a 79-yard touchdown reception. Jefferson should continue to serve as a deep threat for the Rams heading into a Week 13 matchup against Jacksonville, as he now has at least one reception of 20 yards or more in five consecutive contests.

    Jefferson caught three of seven targets for 54 yards in Monday night's 31-10 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Jefferson was forced into a more important role with teammate Robert Woods (knee) going down late in the week, and although he produced Los Angeles' longest play of the night with a 33-yard gain, he also dropped a would-be touchdown in the second half. Overall, Jefferson's output wasn't anything out of the ordinary, and despite his potential to help fill the void left by Woods' season-ending injury, the Rams now enter their bye week, giving recent signing Odell Beckham ample time to increase…read more

  • Moves up depth chart with Woods out

    Jefferson should take on a larger role in the Rams' offense moving forward, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that fellow wide receiver Robert Woods will miss the remainder of the season after tearing his ACL in practice Friday.

    Analysis: Cooper Kupp will still be the go-to guy for quarterback Matthew Stafford, but there's no clear second option in Los Angeles' passing game, with Jefferson, newcomer Odell Beckham and tight end Tyler Higbee set to vie for that spot following Woods' injury. Jefferson could be especially busy in the coming weeks while Beckham's still catching up on the Rams' playbook.

    Analysis: The sophomore has now caught at least three passes in each of the past four games for a total of 13 receptions, 191 yards and a touchdown. Jefferson also played 75 of 78 offensive snaps Sunday. Still, he's not returning exciting numbers in the majority of fantasy formats, and it appears it will take an injury to either Cooper Kupp or Robert Woods for Jefferson to provide reliable results.

With DeSean Jackson potentially on the way out via trade, Jefferson's workload could project for even more stability in the season's second half, though it remains to be seen if the Rams move Jackson before Tuesday's deadline.

  • Finds end zone against Lions

    Jefferson caught four of seven targets for 43 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 28-19 win over Detroit. He played a season-high 61 offensive snaps, too.

    Analysis: With the Lions leading to start the game, and then again in the third quarter, Los Angeles leaned of three-receiver sets more frequently. It resulted in Jefferson's highest snap share of the season, as he played 94 percent of the offensive snaps. Still, it was another big day for Cooper Kupp (10-156-2), and Robert Woods caught all six of his targets for 70 yards. Additionally, tight end Tyler Higbee garnered eight targets. So, while it was encouraging to see Jefferson's playing time jump and…read more

  • Quiet outing against Giants

    Jefferson caught three of his four targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 38-11 win over New York.

    Analysis: There haven't been enough targets left over for Jefferson after Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, Tyler Higbee and Darrell Henderson all receive their share, and It's unlikely Jefferson garners more looks in the immediate future, either. Additionally, deep-threat DeSean Jackson will continue in his role. It will probably take an injury to a fellow pass catcher for Jefferson to see an uptick in target volume, and he projects to remain an inconsistent fantasy asset in the meantime.

  • Single catch in win

    Jefferson played 39 of the Rams' 67 offensive snaps and caught one of four targets for 16 yards in Thursday's 26-17 win over Seattle.

    Analysis: Wit the Rams making a concerted effort to get fellow wide receiver Robert Woods (14 targets) more involved and Cooper Kupp (10 targets) receiving his usual steady volume, there weren't many looks left over for Jefferson. While there's no doubt Jefferson is firmly behind Woods and Kupp on the pecking order, the second-year player looks fiirmly positioned as the No. 3 receiver on the depth chart, as he's played more snaps than DeSean Jackson in every game this season. Still, Jackson's ability to…read more

  • Big day in loss to Cards

    Jefferson caught all six of his targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The Arizona secondary did a good job containing Cooper Kupp, and as a result it was Jefferson who led the Rams in catches and receiving yards. The 90 yards were a season high for the second-year receiver while the TD was his second in four games, and Jefferson is emerging as a reliable secondary option for Matthew Stafford heading into a Week 5 clash with the Seahawks.

    Jefferson caught four of six targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 34-24 win over Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout played 50 of 65 offensive snaps and is up to seven receptions for 136 yards and a touchdown through the first three weeks. Jefferson has been a fixture in the offense, but outside of his 67-yard touchdown catch Week 1, he's failed to move the fantasy needle. Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford has clicked with fellow wide receiver Cooper Kupp to the tune of 25 receptions, 367 yards and five touchdowns already, and with Robert Woods and DeSean Jackson also on the…read more

  • Quiet in win

    Jefferson secured one of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: After a solid fantasy performance in Week 1, Jefferson came crashing back down to earth. The 25-year-old wide receiver finished fourth in targets on the Rams for the second week in a row, but his offensive snap percentage jumped from 69 percent in Week 1 to 92 percent in Week 2. In a high-powered offense, Jefferson will have some strong performances, but predicting when those breakout performances may happen is tough. However, his chances of one could be higher than expected in Week 3 against a…read more

  • Breaks off long score on SNF

    Jefferson corralled two of three targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-14 win over Chicago.

    Analysis: Matthew Stafford connected with Jefferson on a big 67-yard touchdown on the national stage. The 2020 second-round pick still finished fourth in the pecking order of targets, so fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to the gaudy final line. Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods remain atop the depth chart, so Jefferson is more of a boom-or-bust option heading into Week 2 when the Rams take on the Colts.

    Jefferson (arm) isn't listed on the Rams' injury report Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Sean McVay didn't unveil the first-team skill-position players this preseason, but Jefferson may have missed time anyway due to what was initially believed to be a false positive test for COVID-19 and a right arm issue that caused him to wear a brace. Now healthy in advance of the regular season, Jefferson is set to serve as L.A.'s No. 3 wide receiver behind Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp. However, Jefferson may have to contend for reps with free-agent addition DeSean Jackson and 2021…read more

    Though Jefferson is sporting a soft brace over his right arm, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic notes that the wideout is "good to go" for Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Jefferson is evidently past a recent COVID-19 situation that coach Sean McVay believed at the time was a false positive test result. Assuming the 2020 second-rounder's arm issue is a minor one, he'll have a chance to suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Raiders. Jefferson is competing with veteran DeSean Jackson for the Rams' No. 3 wideout slot behind Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp.

    Jefferson has established himself as a legitimate receiver who head coach Sean McVay is counting on entering the 2021 season, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The 57th overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, Jefferson wasn't a major factor in the Los Angeles offense as a rookie. He recorded just 19 receptions for 220 yards and a touchdown. However, with Josh Reynolds signing with the Titans during the offseason, there's an opportunity for Jefferson to climb the depth chart. His fantasy value is still a little murky, though, considering the Rams signed field-stretcher DeSean Jackson, and they also drafted speedster Tutu Atwell in the second round of…read more

  • Role is probably secure

    Jefferson should continue to see his role increased in the passing game next season, even with the selection of Tutu Atwell in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: While Los Angeles did make Atwell its first selection in the draft, he's probably not going to impact Jefferson's expected growth in his second season in the league. Atwell definitely could cut into Jefferson's snap and target share, but Jefferson flashed potential as a rookie and has the acumen to be a reliable receiver this season -- especially in a possession, move-the-chains role.

  • Finds end zone in playoff loss

    Jefferson recorded six receptions on seven targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' divisional-round loss to the Packers on Saturday.

    Analysis: Jefferson took advantage of the absence of Cooper Kupp, finishing second on the team in both targets and receptions. Although only one of his catches went for a gain of 10 or more yards, he did account for a touchdown with a four-yard reception late in the second quarter. Jefferson finished his rookie season with only 19 receptions for 220 yards and a touchdown across 16 regular-season games, though his role could increase in 2021 if Josh Reynolds departs in free agency.

It was just the second game all season that Jefferson didn't receive an offensive snap, so it's likely he's back in the fold next Saturday in the divisional-round matchup against the Packers.

    Jefferson reeled in four of eight targets for 50 yards during Sunday's 18-7 win against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Jefferson had totaled only four receptions for 27 yards over his preceding five appearances combined entering Week 17. Cooper Kupp's presence on the reserve/COVID-19 list opened up opportunities for the second-round rookie, however, as Jefferson established a new single-game high in receiving during the regular-season finale.

    Jefferson played 14 offensive snaps and failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 20-9 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: The rookie's lone target was thrown behind him, as Jefferson's debut season continues to underwhelm. He should receive more opportunities in 2021 with No. 3 wide receiver Josh Reynolds currently in the final season of his rookie deal and a candidate to move on in the offseason. Week 17 doesn't look promising for Jefferson, either. Quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) underwent surgery Monday, and backup QB John Walford hasn't played a competitive game since the 2019 preseason.

    Analysis: The rookie has now failed to collect a reception in three of the past four games. To make matters worse, with the Rams 17.5-point favorites at home, this should have set up for Jefferson to see an extended role, especially considering veteran receiver Robert Woods missed Wednesday's practice and was limited Thursday with a thigh injury. Jefferson projects to remain a depth option over the final two weeks of the regular season with Los Angeles battling for the best playoff seeding possible.

    Jefferson didn't receive a target on 19 offensive snaps during Thursday's 24-3 win over New England.

    Analysis: The Rams ran for 186 yards and were especially effective in 12 personnel against the Patriots on Thursday, so quarterback Jared Goff didn't need to attack through the air often. As a result, there weren't many opportunities for Jefferson.

However, his increased snap count is definitely encouraging, as he played more than No. 3 wide receiver Josh Reynolds (38 offensive snaps). While it could be a sign of things to come, it's unlikely Reynolds has been completely leapfrogged by the rookie.

However, he's only been targeted six times during the noted span, so Jefferson's efficiency is notable.

The rookie ran an excellent route along the sideline and kept both feet in bounds while securing the difficult catch to move the chains.

Jefferson garnered praise during the offseason and is billed as a polished route runner with plus hands.

Third-year wideout Josh Reynolds played 62 snaps and was the clear-cut No. 3 option through the air against Buffalo with four receptions for 60 yards.

Additionally, while fellow receiver Josh Reynolds played more (42 offensive snaps), he was only targeted twice. For the time being, it looks like both Jefferson and Reynolds will limit the other's production and upside, even if Jefferson is probably more talented and likely the best long-term option for the Rams and fantasy managers.

    Analysis: Rodrigue's projection of the 53-man roster suggests Jefferson -- rather than Reynolds -- will be the No. 3 receiver behind Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods. This outcome shouldn't be fully assumed, but it's a reasonable expectation given that Reynolds mostly failed to impress in previous opportunities and Jefferson is a rookie second-round pick. Both players' roles may not be clarified until after the Rams' Week 1 matchup with the Cowboys.
