Van Jefferson

Van Jefferson is reportedly the early favorite to be the No. 2 wide receiver in Pittsburgh.

Fantasy Impact

Jefferson signed a one-year deal with the Steelers this offseason. With the departure of Diontae Johnson, the wide receiver room is wide open after George Pickens. Rookie Roman Wilson could also factor into the passing game for the Steelers.

Van Jefferson caught three of five targets for 19 yards during the Falcons' 37-17 loss to the Bears in Week 17.

Fantasy Impact

Jefferson had one of his biggest games since joining the Falcons, but it wasn't nearly enough to put him on the fantasy radar. He can be avoided in all leagues ahead of Week 18 against the Saints.

Van Jefferson caught 1-of-3 targets for 13 yards in the Falcons' 29-10 win over the Colts.

Fantasy Impact

Jefferson remains well off the fantasy radar.

Van Jefferson did not record a catch on his lone target in the Falcons’ 25-23 loss to the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Jefferson saw just one target Sunday, tallying his lowest total of the season since being acquired by the Falcons. The 27-year-old is a depth wide receiver in a volatile offense and should not be started in any format moving forward.

Van Jefferson came up with only 1 of 4 targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

Jefferson had some waiver appeal this past week with Drake London (groin) dealing with injury and ultimately ruled out for Week 9. Well, anyone who took a chance on Jefferson was left frustrated, to say the least. It appears, even with some injuries ahead of him, that Jefferson is considerably low on the pecking order of route runners for QB Taylor Heinicke.
