K.J. Osborn Has Made Huge Improvements

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn may have advanced more than any other play in training camp this summer, and his role in the offense is expected to grow heading into his third NFL season. If Adam Thielen continues to be hampered by injuries in 2022, Osborn has a chance to break out. The 25-year-old made a nice leap in his sophomore season, going from zero targets in nine games in 2020 to 50 catches on 82 targets for 655 yards and seven touchdowns in 2021. Osborn will likely go undrafted in most standard 12-team fantasy football leagues, but he's in the clear lead for the No. 3 receiver job in Minnesota and could be an early season waiver-wire darling.

K.J. Osborn Likely To See More Targets

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn made a name for himself during his second season in 2021. He hauled in 50 receptions with 655 receiving yards and seven touchdowns through 17 games. Those are fairly solid numbers for a player who is the third option behind Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen. The hope is that Osborn will improve with the Vikings likely passing more often in 2022. The Vikings are expected to see use more three receiver sets under new head coach Kevin O'Connell. There's a chance that Osborn holds flex value on a weekly basis, but fantasy managers will have to wait and see. Osborn is certainly someone worth thinking about during the late rounds on draft day.
