Justin Jefferson
Justin Jefferson needs 53 receiving yards for his sixth straight 1,000-yard season to start his career. Jefferson has 53 ore more receiving yards in eight of 16 games this season and he’ll face a banged up Packers defence in Week 18.
Trey McBride

Josh Allen
Josh Allen is at 14 rushing TDs on the year. He needs one more rushing TD to tie the NFL single-season record, currently held by Allen and Jalen Hurts.
