Minnesota Vikings

Justin Jefferson and Josh Downs in the same offense?

Consider me intrigued!

Yes, the Vikings have plenty at the wide receiver position, especially given Jefferson’s emergence as one of the top wide receivers in the sport.

However, Adam Thielen will be 33 by the time next season kicks off, as the organization may look to find a younger receiver to help draw some attention off Jefferson.

In this scenario, Downs would likely have a ton of opportunities in the open field, which is something he simply thrives in.
