K.J. Osborn Week 2 Outlook - Patriots at Jets

The surprise winner of the Vikings' No. 3 WR job played a robust 81% of the offensive snaps in Week 1 and caught 7 of 9 targets for 76 yards. We figured it would be a skinny target tree in Minnesota, but there's a new branch. Osbourne is 6-0, 203 pounds with 4.48 speed and good athleticism. He wasn't a college star, playing three seasons at Buffalo before transferring to Miami-Fla. His best season was a 53-892-7 year at Buffalo in 2018. But Osborn looked sharp in Cincinnati last Sunday and may have a chance to carve out a significant role in the Minnesota offense.
