The 'NFL receiving yards-per-game leaders' quiz

Created on October 23, 2025 | Total tries: 350 | Average Score: 24.2 out of 28 (86%) | Quiz FAQ

The Minnesota Vikings take on the Los Angeles Chargers on ‘Thursday Night Football,’ and it could be a historic night if Justin Jefferson is able to get 40 receiving yards.

Jefferson is 40 yards short of 8,000 in his career, and if he gets there in his 84th game, he’ll pass Julio Jones for the fastest player to reach that milestone in NFL history. Since Carson Wentz took over under center for the injured J.J. McCarthy in Week 3, Jefferson has posted at least five catches and 75 yards in each game.

While this could be a big night for Jefferson personally, the Week 8 matchup is also a big one for the 3-3 Vikings. Heading into this week the Vikings are in last place in the NFC North, which is the only division in football without a team below .500.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Heading into ‘Thursday Night Football,’ Jefferson is averaging an NFL all-time best 95.9 receiving yards-per-game in his career. With that being said, can you name the NFL players to average at least 70 receiving yards-per-game in their career (with a minimum of 17 games)?

Good luck!
