Which Vikings WR is flying under the radar heading into 2026?
The Minnesota Vikings have had a talented duo over the last few years at the wide receiver position. The pairing of Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison has been successful, with Jefferson considered one of the league's best. However, this team has lacked a true WR3 on the roster as of late, and with the addition of Jauan Jennings this offseason, they seem to have found that.
Could Jennings be going under the radar heading into 2026? Zachary Pereles of CBS Sports believes so, as he listed Jennings as one of his 50 under-the-radar players leading into the season. Here is what he had to say on Jennings:
Jennings makes this list for the second straight year. Justin Jefferson is a superstar, and Jordan Addison shows big-play potential, but Jennings is coming in to be the guy who makes the tough catches, moves the sticks and provides physicality. Over the past two seasons, Jennings has 37 third-down catches that produced first downs, seventh-most in the NFL.
Jennings brings the toughness and blocking ability needed on the outside to help elevate this offense. His reliability on third downs will provide much-needed support to his running mates, who look to improve on the down years they had in 2025. Look for Jennings to have a fine year in Minnesota in 2026.
