K.J. Osborn Draws Six Targets In Week 1 Loss

K.J. Osborn Draws Six Targets In Week 1 Loss

one year ago

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn caught 3-of-6 targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 26-year-old had a ball ripped away right near the goal line by Christian Izien to foil a potential Vikings scoring drive to close the first half. Despite being out-produced by 2023 first-rounder Jordan Addison, who hauled in four balls for 61 yards and a score in his debut, Osborn out-snapped him by 22 plays. Osborn is going to have to provide better results if he doesn't want the rookie eating into his playing time going forward. The former fifth-round pick will not be a recommended WR4, arguably as Minnesota's No. 4 target, in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles, even in a game with plenty of shootout potential.
