Analyst makes case for Vikings star to be top player in fantasy football in 2025

USA Today3 days ago
Having the top pick in fantasy football comes with a certain amount of pressure. You can be pulled in a variety of ways, allowing you to tinker with your draft plans over and over again. All you want as a fantasy player is to pick the safest pick you can so that you can have one player you can rely on all year long.
One of the safest players a fantasy player could target would be the Minnesota Vikings' wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
Bleacher Report's Gary Davenport has a laundry list of players he is willing to pound the table for who are worth taking with the number one overall pick. On it are two wide receivers and three running backs. The other wide receiver, other than Jefferson, is his college teammate and Cincinnati Bengal, Ja'Marr Chase.
Davenport makes the case, though, for Jefferson, writing, "Jefferson was the runner-up to Chase last year with 103 catches for over 1,500 yards and 10 scores, and back in 2022 he caught 128 balls for 1,809 yards and finished as fantasy's No. 1 receiver. However, the sixth-year veteran missed seven games two years ago, and with J.J. McCarthy taking over under center in Minnesota in 2025, there are some concerns about his quarterback situation."
Not to be forgotten with Jefferson, he has produced despite the revolving door of quarterbacks he has had in recent years, due to roster moves and injuries. He has the talent to overcome any situation it would allow him to produce no matter what may be thrown his way.
Sounds like a safe pick if you ask us.

Through foundation, Hornets' Brandon Miller hosts 1st Charlotte youth camp

Young athletes by the dozen had help honing their basketball skills at Queens University of Charlotte, with guidance from NBA coaches, players, and a Hornets legend. Hornets star Brandon Miller set to host basketball camp in Charlotte for first time The 'BMill Skills Factory' is a two-day camp designed for children ages 9-14, courtesy of the Team Miller Foundation, a nonprofit founded by Hornets forward Brandon Miller alongside his family. Team Miller also hosts the event annually at his alma mater in Nashville. 'I wasn't thinking it would be like this,' Brandon Miller said of the turnout. 'Me being here in the kid's presence, I think it's a blessing for the kids, just to learn new stuff about the game and learn new things about life.' Hornets legend Muggsy Bogues was among volunteers, along with Hornets head coach Charles Lee, and Miller's college teammate Noah Clowney. 'We're going to make them accountable, focused, but more importantly, have some fun,' Bogues said. 'One of the biggest qualities that Brandon has is his work ethic, and that's what we want,' said Miller's father, Darrell Miller. 'We only have them for two days here, but this goes on for 365 days.' 'This is just not an experience the kids have for now. They're going to remember this for a lifetime,' added Yolanda Miller, Miller's mother. The two recalled how their son was once a young camper, himself, and now among the NBA's rising stars. 'Charlotte is our second home now,' Brandon Miller said. 'Just to see kids show up in another city, another state just to support the foundation, it excites us. It brings us joy.'
