NEW STAT: Justin Jefferson's double team % is 53.4%, the highest across the NFL.
Ja'Marr Chase's is just 11.3% which ranks 13th in the league.
We know who NFL teams fear more.

some of those career average stats will sink as he ages, but there is no denying the kids abilities or his contributions to our offense. that double team stat is insane when compared to his closest peer rival.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

I'd be a little buyer beware for whichever team decides to pay Addison like WR1 in the future and that stat is a major reason why. It won't be Minnesota.

Interesting.
Made me think about the cap. With Netflix pushing to add more games, the cap could take a bigger jump than anticipated.
There’s easily a dozen teams Addison is WR1. Can we pay him like WR1B? Bengals paid Chase and Higgins this year. They did so with Burrow under contract. Our QB will still be on his rookie deal. Turner, at another position with a high cap number on a rookie deal.

Hard to say, who knows for sure. But I think this will be more about Addison's ego and need to be WR1 on a team, he's an alpha. He goes to a new team with a big bag and there's a new WRer sheriff in town and I think he craves that. He's also had some off-field stuff that I don't think is completely out of his system and that will factor in for the Vikings. You follow Addison's Dad on Twitter? lol, he's a piece of work.

Chase is still under his current deal, no new contract yet. Higgins has not been given a contract either. However, looks like another tag is to be set in place for Higgins. Or have I missed something that they paid them?

He’s definitely a hoot.
I’m not seeing big ego energy. Definitely not a diva to date. We shall see.

lol, you haven't seen big ego energy from Addison? Oh for sure I have. But no, not a diva. Two different things IMO.

Interesting. I know he’s painfully quiet and likes to smoke weed.

Addison isn’t really a diva. Def a head case though. That double team stat just shows that he is not as #1 WR material. I’d trade his ass if I was king. Chase gets a shiton more dubs if Higgins leaves, that’s why he’s gonna get tagged
