Jordan Addison's Redraft Outlook Is Looking Better

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.

Jalen Coker Still a Fantasy Riser Despite Quiet Preseason?

Monday, August 24, 8:30 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker has been relatively quiet this preseason, but he's still a very intriguing player to target in 2026 fantasy football drafts. Coker solidified himself as the Panthers' No. 2 receiver and one of Bryce Young's favorite targets late last season, catching six passes for 47 yards and one touchdown in Week 18 before adding another nine catches, 134 yards, and one touchdown in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs. The 24-year-old is officially ahead of Xavier Legette and behind Tetairoa McMillan in the pecking order, and as the Panthers' No. 2 receiver, he's a solid draft target in most fantasy leagues. Depending on how the Panthers' offense looks this year, he could even warrant weekly consideration for a flex spot in deeper leagues. There's certainly a lot to like about a Panthers receiver room that features Coker opposite McMillan.
