Vikings' Jordan Addison: Two catches in rain-soaked victory
Rotowire
Addison caught two of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears.
Addison was able to secure his first two catches of the season. There was consistent rain throughout the entire contest, making it incredibly difficult for either side to get into any sort of groove through the air, but Addison's five targets were second only to Justin Jefferson (six) on the Vikings. The team will travel to Tampa Bay in Week 3, and it's possible that the offense could get a boost with quarterback Kyler Murray (concussion) on track to return.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Addison had a bad game in Week 1 against Green Bay with no catches on two targets, but he should rebound in Week 2 against Chicago. I like Addison as a starter in all three-receiver leagues, and I'm hopeful he gets another start with Carson Wentz if Kyler Murray (concussion) is out. Last year, Addison played four games with Wentz, and he scored at least 15 PPR points in three of those outings. Addison has a good history against Chicago with 26 catches for 312 yards and three touchdowns in his past five meetings, and the Bears just allowed Jalen Coker and Tetairoa McMillan to combine for 13 catches for 213 yards and two touchdowns on 17 targets, which bodes well for Addison and Justin Jefferson in this game.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: No catches in Week 1
Rotowire
Addison failed to record a catch on two targets in Sunday's 39-22 win over the Packers.
Addison was second on the team with his 28 routes, but his two targets were a distant fourth on the Vikings, trailing Justin Jefferson (nine), T.J. Hockenson (five) and Josh Oliver (four). Kyler Murray (concussion) was knocked out of the game in the first half, giving way to Carson Wentz, who had eyes for Jefferson and his tight ends. Addison gets a great on-paper matchup with the Bears' leaky secondary next Sunday, but the wideout will be hard to trust for fantasy lineups.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Addison was miserable against Green Bay last season with one catch for 8 yards on four targets in two games, but we know 2025 was a lost year for the Vikings' passing attack because of J.J. McCarthy. Things should improve this season with Kyler Murray at quarterback, and Addison scored at least 18.9 PPR points in three of his first four meetings with the Packers in 2023 and 2024. Micah Parsons (knee) was hurt in Week 15 last year, and Green Bay allowed seven touchdowns to receivers in the final four games of the season. Parsons is out for Week 1, and that should bode well for Addison, Justin Jefferson and potentially Jauan Jennings in this matchup. Addison should be considered a starter in all three-receiver leagues.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Makes impressive grab in final practice
Rotowire
Addison provided one of the highlights of the day during the Vikings' final training camp practice Aug. 26, connecting with quarterback Kyler Murray on a toe-dragging, sideline catch, Andrew Krammer of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Along with most of the Vikings' other key starters, Addison was rested for the final two preseason contests, but he was taking regular reps with the first-team offense throughout camp and will be ready to go for Week 1 against the Packers. As was the case for nearly every Minnesota pass catcher last season, Addison saw his production crater as a result of suspect quarterback play from J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer, but his fantasy outlook should be improved heading into 2026 while Murray steps in as the Vikings' new starter under center. Over his first two NFL seasons, Addison averaged 4.2 receptions, 55.8 yards and 0.6 touchdowns per game while Kirk Cousins and Sam Darnold served as the Vikings' primary quarterbacks.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Good to go in preseason opener
Rotowire
Addison (thumb) caught his only target for eight yards in Saturday's 13-10 preseason win over the Giants.
The fourth-year wideout jammed his thumb early in training camp, but Addison was out there with the starters to begin the Vikings' preseason opener and hauled in his only look from new starting quarterback Kyler Murray. Addison has yet to reach 1,000 receiving yards in a season and has seen his numbers steadily decline since a strong rookie campaign in 2023, but he could be headed for a rebound with Murray under center and Justin Jefferson still on hand to command attention from opposition secondaries.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Nearing full participation
Rotowire
Addison (thumb) is expected to be close to a full participant at the Vikings' night practice Sunday, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Addison has been battling a thumb injury at practice throughout the week, but it has been considered to be a minor injury throughout the entire process. The wide receiver appears to be on track to be back to full health in the near future, and the earlier he can be back to 100 percent, the better, as Minnesota is in the midst of accessing who its starting quarterback will be in 2026.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Jams thumb, not practicing
Rotowire
Addison jammed his thumb earlier this week and won't catch passes during Wednesday's practice, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Imaging on the thumb came back clean, so Addison shouldn't be out for long. He'll be on the practice field with his teammates Wednesday afternoon, but he won't participate in team or individual drills while his thumb is healing.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Maintains key role in WR corps
Rotowire
Addison is set to maintain his key role alongside Justin Jefferson in a Minnesota WR corps that added Jauan Jennings this offseason, Rob Kleifield of the team's official site reports.
The Vikings exercised Addison's fifth-year option in April, with the 2023 first-rounder now under contract with the team through 2027. Over the course of 14 regular-season games in 2025, Addison recorded a 42-610-3 receiving line on 79 targets, but issues with drops and subpar QB play didn't help his cause. With former Cardinal Kyler Murray now on board and viewed as the favorite start at quarterback in Week 1 over J.J. McCarthy, and Jennings likely to draw more defensive attention than prior WR3 Jalen Nailor, Addison profiles as a bounce-back candidate in 2026.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Gets trespassing charge dismissed
Rotowire
Addison is no longer facing a misdemeanor trespassing charge stemming from his Jan. 12 arrest in Tampa after a Florida state attorney filed a termination of prosecution Tuesday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
With the charge being dropped, Addison is unlikely to face any discipline from the NFL. The wideout has now had three brushes with the law since entering the league as a first-round pick in 2023, as he previously plead guilty to a July 2023 misdemeanor speeding charge and was also arrested on a DUI charge in 2024. When available, Addison has performed well in a complementary role behind Justin Jefferson, but his off-field issues could play a part in whether Minnesota decides to exercise the fifth-year option on his rookie contract this spring. If exercised, the team option would guarantee Addison around $17.5 million for the 2027 season, per OverTheCap.com.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Another two-catch outing
Rotowire
Addison caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Giants.
Addison couldn't hold onto what would have been a 25-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. He finished a distant second on the team in receiving yards behind Justin Jefferson (85). Minnesota's passing game will be tough to trust Thursday against the Lions, especially if rookie Max Brosmer is thrust into his second NFL start. Brosmer entered after J.J. McCarthy (hand) left Sunday's win in the second quarter.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Tending to Achilles injury
Rotowire
Addison was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an Achilles injury, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Since making his season debut Week 4 following a three-game suspension to begin the campaign, Addison was on point with an 18-283-1 line on 26 targets in his first three appearances. Since then uneven QB play for the Vikings has impacted all members of the offense, with Addison managing just a 19-227-2 line on 44 targets over the last 10 contests. Now with a health concern in tow, his status will be one to watch as the week goes on to see if he may be in danger of missing Sunday's road matchup with the Cowboys.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Inefficient with 10 targets Sunday
Rotowire
Addison finished with five receptions on 10 targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to Seattle.
Third-string QB Max Brosmer struggled to deliver the ball to his top receivers in the first start of his career, instead throwing four picks while limiting WR Justin Jefferson to a career-low four yards. Addison led the Vikings in targets (10), but his quarterback's erratic play resulted in a forgettable line outside of PPR formats. It was, however, a marked improvement over the bagel the 23-year-old posted in last week's box score versus the Packers. Minnesota's entire passing attack takes a major hit with Brosmer under center, even with how poorly J.J. McCarthy (concussion) has played up until this point, so Addison's value will improve from poor to risky if his starting quarterback can return against Washington next Sunday.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Addison hit a new low in Week 12 at Green Bay with no catches on one target, and he has now combined for seven catches for 103 yards and a touchdown on 23 targets in four starts with J.J. McCarthy. We'll see if McCarthy starts in Week 13 at Seattle since he's dealing with a concussion, but it will be hard to trust Addison with undrafted rookie Max Brosmer making his first NFL start. The Seahawks are also No. 10 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and Addison is barely worth starting in three-receiver leagues in Week 13.

Addison caught a touchdown in Week 11 against Chicago but still scored just 10 PPR points with two catches for 20 yards on seven targets. In three starts with J.J. McCarthy, Addison has combined for seven catches for 103 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets. Hopefully, Addison and McCarthy will start to connect on a high level moving forward, but Addison is tough to trust right now heading into Week 12 at Green Bay. He's only worth starting in three-receiver leagues.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Quiet before last-minute TD
Rotowire
Addison caught two of seven targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Bears.
Addison was almost the hero after a quiet 59 minutes, as his 15-yard touchdown catch with 50 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter tied the game, and Minnesota took a 17-16 lead with the ensuing PAT. The Bears answered with a game-winning field goal to drop the Vikings to 4-6. Addison has caught just five of 18 targets from struggling quarterback J.J. McCarthy in Minnesota's last two games ahead of a Week 12 road game against the Packers.

Addison finally played his first game with J.J. McCarthy in Week 9 at Detroit, and it didn't go well. He only had two catches for 48 yards on four targets, and this was the first game all season where Addison was held to single digits in Fantasy points. Addison has now had just four targets in each of his past two games, and the volume might not be there for him since McCarthy has yet to attempt more than 25 passes in any of his three starts this season. I would only start Addison in three-receiver leagues against the Ravens, who have not allowed a receiver to score a touchdown since Week 5.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Finds end zone in loss
Rotowire
Addison secured three of four targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 37-10 loss to the Chargers on Thursday night.
The Vikings' offense had a mostly forgettable performance as the final score indicates, but Addison still found a way to continue making an impact by recording a four-yard touchdown catch with just under five minutes remaining in the third quarter. Addison has scored twice over his first four games after the delayed start to his season, and he's likely to have his first regular-season opportunity to work with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) as his quarterback in a Week 9 road matchup against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Addison has scored at least 15.1 PPR points in all three games since coming back from his three-game suspension, and he just had a dominant outing in Week 7 against the Eagles with nine catches for 128 yards on 12 targets. The Chargers have a standout secondary, but the Colts just had Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce each score at least 14.8 PPR points against Los Angeles in Week 7. The same thing could happen for Justin Jefferson and Addison this week, and Addison should be considered a solid No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in this matchup.
