Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison caught three of his four targets for 26 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 8 loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. Addison's trip to the end zone came on a four-yard reception with fewer than five minutes remaining in the third quarter. The touchdown salvaged his fantasy performance and brought him to four consecutive games with double-digit fantasy points (PPR). He's averaging 16.0 fantasy points per game since his season debut in Week 4, which is tied for the 17th-highest average among all NFL receivers during that span. He's a solid low-end WR2 heading into Week 9 against the Detroit Lions.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is an excellent WR3/Flex candidate with his team set to take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night. The third-year receiver still hasn't played a regulation game with starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy, but has looked great alongside backup Carson Wentz. In three games with Wentz, Addison is averaging 8.7 targets, 6 catches, and 94 yards, all green lights from a fantasy perspective. The Chargers, who allowed 288 receiving yards to the Indianapolis Colts last week, are permitting opponents to score on 46% of offensive possessions, one of the highest rates in the NFL. Addison is always the second option behind superstar Justin Jefferson, but the Vikings are airing it out enough that managers can consider Addison a starting option with additional breakout potential.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has been on a tear to start his 2025 campaign after missing the first three games due to a suspension for violating the NFL's Substances of Abuse Policy. Addison has been highly efficient since returning, hauling in 18 of 26 targets for 283 yards and a touchdown. His 94.3 receiving yards per game ranks third in the NFL, only trailing superstars Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Veteran quarterback Carson Wentz honed in on Addison in their Week 7 loss to the Eagles, leading the team with 12 targets. Wentz will make another start in Week 8, where Addison will look to stay hot as the Vikings face the Chargers on Thursday Night Football.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison caught nine of 12 targets for 128 yards in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Eagles. Addison was peppered with targets from quarterback Carson Wentz all game, with the 12 targets matching a career high for the 23-year-old wideout. He hasn't missed a beat since returning from his three-game suspension to begin the season, recording 18 catches for 283 yards and a touchdown on 26 targets in three games. The quarterback situation will be one to monitor for Addison moving forward, but he is talented enough to produce regardless. He's firmly in the WR2/WR3 mix moving forward.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is a solid WR3/Flex candidate as the Vikings are set to play host to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7. The Vikings will start quarterback Carson Wentz with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) officially listed as questionable and likely to be the team's emergency third quarterback, though Addison performed well in his lone opportunity with Wentz, connecting for a game-winning touchdown against Cleveland. Further, Philly hasn't impressed on defense so far this year. The Eagles are struggling to disrupt quarterbacks, ranking 27th in pressure rate, and also ranking near the bottom of the league in defensive average depth of target. As always, Addison is going to be in the shadow of Justin Jefferson, but the former USC standout has shown regular home run potential. With a good matchup on Sunday, he's an option in most formats.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison saved the day for both his team and managers who started him Sunday with a late touchdown grab that turned the tide in a 21-17 Vikings victory, finishing the day with five catches on six targets for 41 yards and a touchdown. Unknown to the general public prior to the game, Addison (coach's decision) was held out of the entire first quarter after being benched, the latest incident after he began the year with a three-game suspension. Addison atoned, however, with an athletic 12-yard touchdown catch in which he got both feet down and fell inside the pylon to score with 25 seconds remaining. As long as wide receiver Justin Jefferson is healthy, Addison won't be Minnesota's top target, but he has performed well enough alongside the All-Pro to be a consistently playable fantasy WR3/Flex option.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is a high-risk, high-reward WR3/Flex option with his team set to take on the Cleveland Browns this week in London. Playing in his first game of the season last week, Addison erupted for 114 yards receiving, but Minnesota has a tougher task this week with three of their five starting offensive linemen ruled out of the game due to injuries. Against a Cleveland front allowing the fewest rushing yards per carry in the league, the Vikings will need to lean on their passing game, but will need several backups to hold up against the likes of Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett, which is looking pretty grim. Addison is a home-run hitter, but the Vikings' injury woes could severely limit their number of offensive snaps.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison put together a productive performance in his return to the field on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, hauling in four passes for 114 yards in the Vikings' 24-21 defeat. Playing in his first game after a three-week suspension, the third-year receiver nearly had an even bigger day, but was tripped up at the one-yard line following an 81-yard catch in the fourth quarter. Addison saw an encouraging eight targets in the game and produced despite Minnesota's offensive struggles behind backup quarterback Carson Wentz. The Vikings' biggest issue going forward will be injuries on the offensive line, which will have its hands full with the Cleveland Browns in Week 5.
Sep 28, 2025 1:44 PM EST
Set to play his first game of the season following a suspension, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is a high-end WR3/Flex with breakout potential against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Though the Vikings are playing with backup quarterback Carson Wentz, Addison will debut against a middling Pittsburgh defense against fantasy receivers. As usual, he'll benefit from the presence of No. 1 receiver Justin Jefferson, while the Vikings also saw positive signs last week from tight end T.J. Hockenson and running back Jordan Mason, all of which could provide the third-year receiver the opportunity to do damage as a regular deep threat. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell raved about Addison's training camp, and managers should feel pretty good that Addison can quickly resume being a fantasy relevant receiver again.
Sep 26, 2025 4:45 PM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison was officially reinstated from his three-game suspension on Monday, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN. Seifert noted that the Vikings currently have a two-day roster exemption and will not need to make room on their 53-man roster for Addison until Wednesday. The team's No. 2 WR was suspended for the first three games of the campaign due to violating the league's Substances of Abuse Policy. Throughout his first two seasons in the NFL, Addison has been very productive, despite playing alongside superstar Justin Jefferson. Through 32 career regular-season games, Addison has found the back of the end zone 20 times and averaged 893.0 yards per season. Even though he is the team's No. 2 WR, Addison carries high-end WR3 value in all leagues going forward.
Sep 22, 2025 7:22 PM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is set to return from his three-game suspension stemming from last summer's DUI charges. With the suspension served, Addison has returned to the team and is expected to suit up in London when the Vikings take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Addison steps back into the WR2 role, and he'll be catching passes from backup quarterback Carson Wentz, who is coming off a strong performance in Week 3's blowout win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers' secondary bounced back last week, holding New England's wide receivers to just 93 yards on 11 catches. Given the quarterback situation and a tough defensive opponent, Addison profiles as a low-end WR3 for Week 4, though his talent keeps him on the flex radar.
Sep 22, 2025 6:19 PM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will return from suspension in Week 4 when the team faces the Pittsburgh Steelers in London. Addison is serving the final game of his three-game suspension for offseason DUI charges. As a key piece of the Vikings' offense, Addison has posted 133 receptions for 1,786 yards and 19 touchdowns through his first 32 NFL games. However, his fantasy outlook has dipped with rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy battling inconsistency and a high-ankle sprain early in the season. Addison should be reinserted into lineups as a low-end FLEX option upon his return, with room for upside if McCarthy improves from under center.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (hand) was forced to make an early exit from Wednesday's practice. Addison appeared to have suffered a hand or arm injury that resulted in him missing the rest of practice. The good news is that Addison is reportedly fine and didn't suffer any notable injuries from this incident. This is great news for the Vikings who are already battling multiple injuries at wideout. Addison is expected to miss the first three games of the regular season due to a suspension. He should be ready to go for Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Aug 20, 2025 9:25 PM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receivers Jordan Addison and Tai Felton both left Wednesday's training camp practice with what looked like arm/hand injuries, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN. Both players stayed on the sidelines but didn't return to the practice field. It's unclear what the severity of their injuries is, but with Justin Jefferson (hamstring) and Jalen Nailor (hand) still out, the first-team widouts to end practice on Wednesday were Lucky Jackson, Jeshaun Jones and Thayer Thomas. The 23-year-old Addison will already miss the first three games of the 2025 season due to a suspension, but now he could also be rehabbing an injury early in the year. Minnesota's receiver depth is being tested heading into the season, which has them keeping an eye on the receiver trade market. Addison, who has become one of the better WR2s in the NFL, has fallen to WR43 at RotoBaller because of his three-game suspension.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison was quarterback J.J. McCarthy's top target on Saturday, as the pair connected three times for 33 yards on Minnesota's opening drive against Houston. Justin Jefferson (hamstring) was held out, but Addison served as the clear preferred target on the only drive in which the Vikings' starting offense played. The third-year pro is facing a three-game suspension to begin the season, but has proven to be a capable fantasy WR2/flex option in spite of the Vikings' quarterback turbulence the past two seasons.
Aug 10, 2025 10:09 AM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison said he's not planning on appealing his three-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, stemming from his DUI arrest in 2024. "I'm going to let it go as is and put it behind me," Addison said. It's official that the 23-year-old will miss the first three weeks of the 2025 regular season, with Week 4 at the Pittsburgh Steelers being his targeted season debut. Until the regular season starts, though, Addison can practice with the team and take part in preseason contests. The suspension will drop Addison in fantasy rankings, but he'll immediately take over as the WR2 behind Justin Jefferson in Week 4. Fantasy managers will want to target him as a WR4/flex after his suspension after putting up an impressive 133 receptions for 1,786 yards and 19 touchdowns in 32 games in his first two years in the league.
Aug 6, 2025 6:05 PM EST
ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports that Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will be suspended for the first three games of the 2025 season. The thought was that the 23-year-old would eventually be hit with a short suspension stemming from a DUI incident in 2024, and the punishment was finally dealt after Addison pleaded guilty to a lesser charge a few weeks back. Schefter notes that he'll still be permitted to participate in training camp and preseason games without restriction, but this undoubtedly damages the third-year pro's fantasy value as he'll miss a decent bit of the season. Addison has performed well in the WR2 role for Minnesota despite a slight statistical step back in 2024. However, the extra variable of quarterback J.J. McCarthy and his lack of NFL experience make the USC product one of the riskier top 75 picks. Expect that ADP to drop over the next few weeks.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will plead guilty to a lesser vehicular offense commonly referred to as a "wet reckless" a year after his initial DUI citation, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert. As a result, Addison will pay a standard fine and complete two online courses, although we must still wait to see how the NFL reacts. The 23-year-old's probation is expected to be terminated early in six months. A 2025 suspension for Addison is still possible, although if he is suspended by commissioner Roger Goodell, we wouldn't expect it to be for more than two or three games at the most. The former first-rounder took a slight step back in Year 2 in 2024 with a 63-875-9 line in 15 starts, but he was still plenty productive behind All-Pro Justin Jefferson. With a suspension still looming, Addison's fantasy value is still a bit shaky as a WR3/flex.
Jul 17, 2025 1:52 PM EST
If convicted during his trial on Tuesday that stems from his 2024 DUI citation in the Superior Court of California, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison could be facing a baseline three-game suspension this year, per NFL policy, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Addison has pleaded not guilty. Even if the 23-year-old isn't convicted in court, the NFL could still suspend him to begin the 2025 season. The 23-year-old former first-rounder in 2023 out of USC took a slight step back in his second season last year with a 63-875-9 line on 99 targets in 15 regular-season starts. Addison is still a very dangerous No. 2 wideout behind All-Pro Justin Jefferson in Minnesota, but the potential for a suspension is hanging over his head this year. Fantasy managers also have to wonder if he'll be as efficient with quarterback J.J. McCarthy running the offense. Addison is a low-end WR3/high-end WR4 target in fantasy.
Jul 15, 2025 12:06 PM EST
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison's trial date in connection to his 2024 DUI citation is now set for July 15 in the Superior Court of California. Addison pleaded not guilty in December. Even if Addison is found not guilty, it's possible he'll face a suspension from the league during the 2025 season. A potential suspension hanging over his head makes him more volatile of a fantasy asset heading into his third NFL season. The 23-year-old former 23rd overall pick in 2023 out of USC took a slight step back in his second year in the league in 2024, but he was still plenty effective in Minnesota's offense with 63 catches on 99 targets for 875 yards and nine touchdowns in 15 regular-season games. Addison missed two games with an ankle sprain. He's not a heavy target guy with Justin Jefferson around, and it's uncertain how his chemistry will be with QB J.J. McCarthy. Target Addison as a WR3 in fantasy.
