Already, headed into Vikings training camp, the fantasy prospects for the NFL ’s best receiver, Justin Jefferson, were aggravated by a hazy quarterback situation.and will undergo surgery this week. That means we can expect QB Sam Darnold to begin the season as the starter.
Reminder: He is a rookie. So he is learning a new offense under new coaching with new teammates in a new league. It is not an easy thing to do, and missing a month of prime prep time impedes that transition. So let’s guess it takes at least two more weeks before he is game ready. That makes a reasonable, best case debut in Week 5. Not necessarily the most likely, but the most hopeful.
But we were already concerned about taking him with one of the top seven picks. And now, with the low-percentage probability of McCarthy having a great rookie season dipping even lower with the injury, that is a drag on Jefferson’s fantasy projection.Hop out of the pool, unpack your vacation suitcase, boot up your laptop and get ready, because fantasy football season is back.The Draft Value Quotient is a player rating system that assigns one universal number for every player.
For some quick and dirty math, let’s assume Moore is the only benchmark we want to use for Darnold pairing with a top receiver. And let’s assume Jefferson is 20 percent better than Moore.
