Fantasy Football Rankings: Hayden Winks' WR Blueprint for Week 2

It's impossible to get every rankings thoroughly by Thursday Night Football, so be sure to keep checking in on these columns through Sunday morning. As always, my full rankings at every position are available . We also have a weekly video on YouTube:

In 54 games since 2022 without J.J. McCarthy , Jefferson is the WR3 on WR7 usage, averaging 95 YPG and 107 air yards per game. In six games with Carson Wentz , Jefferson is the WR4 on WR7 usage, averaging 95 YPG and 105 air yards per game. In other words, Wentz has been generally as good at getting Jefferson the ball as the rest of the Vikings QBs recently.

The Bears were a mess in Week 1 with SCB Kyler Gordon and S Coby Bryant sidelined. Jalen Coker finished as the WR1 overall, while Tetairoa McMillan had 119 air yards. This was the same thing that happened in 2025, when the Bears allowed the second-most fantasy points to WRs. With DC Dennis Allen, they're going to live and die with their man coverage ability. They had the second-highest man coverage rate of Week 1. Long story short, this is a great spot. The Vikings are projected for 22.0 points (19th) in projected negative game script as slight road dogs.
