Here’s what to know about the oddsboard.
The Favorites: Smith-Njigba, Nacua and Chase are all heavily favored to reach the 1,250-yard mark once again in 2026. JSN is coming off a dream season in which he caught 119 passes for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns, helping propel Seattle to a Super Bowl title. Smith-Njigba had 1,130 receiving yards in 2024 after recording just 628 yards as a rookie in 2023. Can he follow up his breakout season? Meanwhile, Nacua also had an unbelievable 2025 campaign, catching 129 passes for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns. He recorded 990 yards in 2024 after bursting onto the scene with 1,486 yards as a rookie in 2023. Lastly, there’s Mr. Reliable: Ja’Marr Chase. Chase has eclipsed the 1,250-yard mark in three of his first five seasons, finishing with more than 1,400 yards in each of those campaigns. He’s also surpassed 1,000 yards in all five seasons, and if it weren’t for injuries, he likely would have topped 1,250 in all five as well.
Bounce-Back Season: Arguably the most interesting player on the oddsboard is Justin Jefferson. The 2022 Offensive Player of the Year led the league in receiving in 2024 with 1,533 yards before experiencing a dramatic falloff in 2025. Last season, Jefferson finished with just 1,048 yards and two touchdowns, both career lows. A large part of that decline can be attributed to Minnesota’s inconsistent quarterback play. J.J. McCarthy struggled and was unable to develop a strong connection with Jefferson, while Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer also saw time at QB. Now, Jefferson enters 2026 with Kyler Murray as his starting quarterback, giving him a proven veteran under center. In six NFL seasons, Jefferson has surpassed 1,250 receiving yards four times, including three seasons with more than 1,500. With improved QB play, a major bounce-back season could be in store for one of the league’s most accomplished receivers.
