Justin Jefferson approaches Randy Moss record for 100-yard games
Summary

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson enters the 2026 season needing five more 100-yard performances to break the career record currently held by Randy Moss. Jefferson recorded a career-low three games of at least 100 yards last season while working with multiple quarterbacks. Coach Kevin O'Connell enters the campaign with Kyler Murray at quarterback, a shift the organization hopes will restore offensive production. ESPN projects Jefferson to finish the season with 1,373 receiving yards, a total that would require a return to form for the All-Pro receiver. The Vikings were ranked 22nd in recent power rankings following a preseason that concluded with finalized 53-man rosters. Minnesota prepares to open its schedule as the team pursues an NFC North title.
