Vikings sign WR Justin Jefferson to four-year, $140M extension

Jun 03, 2024

A record deal: the Vikings and three-time Pro-Bowl WR Justin Jefferson reached agreement on a four-year, $140 million contract extension that includes $110 million guaranteed and makes him not only the highest-paid WR in NFL history, but the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history.

Jefferson’s deal includes $88.743 million due at signing, the highest non-QB guarantee at signing in NFL history. And it resets the WR market.

Related Players: Jordan Addison, Brandon Powell, N'Keal Harry

Fantasy Impact:

Jefferson is one of five players ever with 5,000-plus receiving yards in his first four seasons, and his 5,899 career yards are nearly 400 more than any other player in NFL history along that same measure, according to NFL Research.

This locks in one of the best playmakers in the league for Sam Darnold/J.J. McCarthy going forward.

Raiders first-round pick TE Brock Bowers (foot) is off the injury report and set to make his NFL debut Sunday against the Chargers.

LT Kolton Miller (shoulder) is also good to go.

Related Players: Michael Mayer

Fantasy Impact:

Bowers has a bright future (and likely bright year) ahead of him, but it might be best to avoid this matchup if you have another option. With both teams looking to run the ball, it could be a clunker for the passing game

Chargers QB Justin Herbert (plantar fascia) is off the injury report -- for real this time -- and good to go for Sunday's opener vs. the Raiders.

WR D.J. Chark (hip) is out.

Related Players: Easton Stick, Taylor Heinicke

Fantasy Impact:

Good news for Herbert and the Chargers in general, but we don't want to touch this passing attack as we head into what could be a slog against the Raiders. Leave the QB on your bench or waiver wire until we find him in a better spot.
