3. Adan Thielen and Justin Jefferson – Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings found out just how great Justin Jefferson can be in his rookie season, setting records previously held by Hall of Famer Randy Moss. Not only did he cook defenders, but he also brought the griddy dance to the national stage. He performed the dance a lot, scoring seven touchdowns in his inaugural season.

But Adam Thielen doubled his touchdown numbers, becoming a reliable red-zone target. His reliability compliments Jefferson’s explosiveness well, giving Kirk Cousins two unique weapons to utilize. As long as the Vikings keep slinging the rock, Jefferson and Thielen will continue to eat on the field.

Their combined 162 catches, 2,325 yards and 21 touchdowns in 2020 wasn’t a fluke, and they could do even more damage with a year of experience under Jefferson’s belt.
