Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2016
Jefferson joined the Jets on the heels of a 5.5-sack 2022 campaign with Seattle. He's adept at getting to the quarterback from the interior but struggles to stop the run, so Jefferson's likely to occupy a rotational role at defensive tackle next to star DT Quinnen Williams in New York's 4-3 defense.
Jefferson is back on a two-year, $9.5 million contract for his second stint in Seattle after he recorded career highs in tackles (47) and sacks (4.5) last season with the Raiders. The 29-year-old can play anywhere on the defensive front, but he'll likely be leaned on in the interior because of the Seahawks' depth on the edges. Jefferson should be viewed as a front runner for the starting job next to Poona Ford.
Jefferson, who's tallied 9.5 sacks since 2018, can provide a versatile pass-rushing presence on the interior of the Raiders' defensive line next to run-stopper Johnathan Hankins.
A fifth-round draft pick, Jefferson is expected be a part of the D-Line rotation this season. At 6-4, 291, with good quickness for his size, Jefferson should be a tough interior matchup. His pass-rush development will be key for his playing time. He could end up as the pass-rushing defensive tackle in nickel sets.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Needs surgery on foot
DTSeattle Seahawks
January 13, 2020
Jefferson, a pending unrestricted free agent, will need offseason surgery for a foot injury he sustained in Sunday's divisional-round loss to the Packers, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Jefferson's injury could hardly be more ill-timed, considering his current contract status. The 26-year-old defensive tackle is considered an emerging star at his position, and he finished the 2019 regular season with 26 tackles (14 solo), 3.5 sacks, three defensed passes and one fumble recovery over 14 games. Jefferson's injury is officially a fracture, so the recovery timeline may be relatively extensive and initially impact his appeal on the open market.
