K.J.Osborn

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Osborn was a pleasant surprise for Minnesota last season, emerging as a viable No. 3 wide receiver behind Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen. The 2020 fifth-round pick went from not playing a snap as a rookie to finishing 32nd at the position in routes and 40th in fantasy points in his second season. After hit-or-miss production in the first half of the season, Osborn's production was much better when he stepped into an every-down role in place of an injured Thielen during Weeks 13-18. Osborn scored in five of the six games and was 18th in fantasy points during the span. The 25-year-old is a good bet for more snaps in new coach Kevin O'Connell's WR-friendly offense, though he's likely to need a Jefferson or Thielen injury in order to land in the flex discussion.
