Jordan Addison News
Saturday, August 22, 9:52 AM
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is starting to look a little more interesting for redraft after a frustrating 2025. He caught 42 of 79 targets for 610 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games, all career lows. The biggest change is at quarterback. Minnesota named Kyler Murray the starter on August 11, and Addison was involved right away, catching back-to-back corner routes during Murray's first practice running exclusively with the first-team offense. He then caught an eight-yard first down from Murray in the preseason opener. Addison's thumb injury earlier in camp did not linger long, either. He was back heavily involved by August 11. There are still a lot of mouths to feed. Justin Jefferson is the clear No. 1, Jauan Jennings joined the room after scoring nine touchdowns last season, and T.J. Hockenson remains in the mix. That keeps Addison's ceiling from getting too carried away. Still, the quarterback job is settled, he's healthy, and the role hasn't gone anywhere. RotoBaller has Addison 84th overall in its latest PPR rankings. He's back in the WR3 conversation with some room to beat that if the offense clicks.

Bhayshul Tuten News
Sunday, August 23, 8:26 PM
Sports Illustrated's John Shipley wrote that it "felt like" Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten "caught as many passes on Sunday as he has all training camp." The Jaguars were clearly focusing on the passing game, and Tuten "looked good as a receiver out of the backfield." It is important to mention that second-year pass-catching back LeQuint Allen Jr. (undisclosed) is currently missing from action due to an undisclosed soft-tissue injury. It is unclear right now if Allen's injury will jeopardize his availability for the start of the 2026 regular season, but if it does, it would be a plus for Tuten's overall fantasy football upside. The 23-year-old former fourth-rounder last year from Virginia Tech ran for 307 yards and five touchdowns on 83 carries while adding only 10 catches for 79 yards and two more TDs in 15 games in his rookie campaign in 2025. Tuten is the team's highest-upside and most explosive fantasy back, but his overall upside will be limited while sharing early-down and potentially goal-line work with Chris Rodriguez Jr. And when healthy, Allen is expected to be the Jags' primary passing-down back. RotoBaller has Tuten ranked as the No. 25 fantasy RB in 2026.
