1. WR JUSTIN JEFFERSON, MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Jefferson is just six games deep into his rookie campaign and has already recorded not one, not two, but three of the 10 best single-game receiving grades ever recorded by a rookie wide receiver in the PFF era (since 2006). Those have come in three of the four last games, and he’ll look to keep this hot streak alive against the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, fresh off his Week 7 bye.
