According to a report from the Los Angeles Daily News, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison was arrested on Friday night for suspicion of DUI. Police were notified and responded to an area near LAX, where Addison was reportedly found asleep at the wheel and blocking several lanes. He was taken into custody and released a few hours later. The 2023 No. 23 overall pick finished his first year in the NFL by amassing 70 catches for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns. While it's unknown if Addison will face any discipline from the NFL or team, his fantasy stock could take a hit from managers unwilling to draft him in fear of a possible suspension.
Minnesota Vikings second-year wide receiver Jordan Addison produced one of the most notable springs of any Vikings player during organized team activities and mandatory minicamp this offseason, taking full advantage of his first NFL offseason to set himself up for an even better year after impressing as a rookie in 2023. Addison was hurt and missed most of the team's spring workouts last year after he was the 23rd overall pick in the draft. Still, he was one of four players in modern NFL history to record at least 70 receptions, 900 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in his rookie campaign. He showed a natural instinct for getting open and developed a reputation for making tough catches as well. Addison has a bright future, but fantasy managers in 2024 may want to temper expectations a bit now that quarterback Kirk Cousins is gone. He's a fine WR4/flex target but could be a bit more inconsistent with Sam Darnold throwing him the pigskin.
Jordan Addison Scores To Cap Off Excellent Rookie Season
Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison capped off an impressive first year in the NFL with four catches on his eight targets for 57 yards and his 10th touchdown of the year in Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Detroit Lions in the regular season finale. In half-PPR scoring, the first-rounder finished as the WR20 in his first full year in the league with an impressive 70 receptions (108 targets) for 911 yards and the 10 scores. It certainly helped that All-Pro wideout Justin Jefferson missed a big chunk of games (six to be exact) in the middle of the season due to a hamstring injury, but Addison made good on his first-round draft pedigree and should form one of the best receiver duos with Jefferson for years to come. Fantasy managers can't bank on double-digit touchdowns from Addison in Year 2, but he should remain highly productive with Jefferson taking plenty of attention away from him.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison ranks as a low-end WR3/FLEX option for Week 18 against the Detroit Lions. The rookie has endured a rollercoaster season, posting impressive results as the primary offensive target but also delivering some dud games. He has 1.2 and 5.8 points (PPR) over the last two weeks, respectively, creating some real concern about his value for this Sunday. It should be noted that the 21-year-old has played at least 90 percent of snaps in eight of his last nine games, so now he just needs Nick Mullens to look his way more often. Addison's low floor and high ceiling put him in the WR3/FLEX tier this Sunday.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) fought through an ankle injury for three catches on five targets and 28 yards in Sunday night's rough 33-10 defeat to the Green Bay Packers. Addison was limited in practice late in the week due to a sprained ankle that he suffered last Sunday, and he simply didn't do much in Week 17. It was tough night all around for the Vikings, though, watching their defense get torched and their offense voluntarily switch quarterbacks midgame. The 2023 first-rounder helped plug the hole left behind by Justin Jefferson's seven-game absence in the middle of the year, but he may have hit the proverbial rookie wall with only 30 catches for 372 yards and two touchdowns in his latest eight outings. Addison will get another shot at the Detroit Lions in Week 18 after catching just one pass before exiting against them in Week 16.
Jordan Addison Officially Active Against Green Bay
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) is active for Sunday's NFC North battle with the Green Bay Packers. The rookie sprained his right ankle in Week 16 versus the Detroit Lions and practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday and Friday. However, despite a questionable designation, there were reports Addison would be good to go, which is the case. The 21-year-old has had a fantastic 2023-24 campaign, amassing 63 catches for 826 yards and nine touchdowns. Fantasy managers should consider Addison a viable option in nearly all formats.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) had been listed as questionable but is expected to play in Week 17 versus the Green Bay Packers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The rookie has produced inconsistent results this season; he has delivered single-digit fantasy points in four of his last five games, but the one exception was an incredible Week 15 outing in which he caught six passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns. While he will continue to operate as the Vikings' No. 2 receiver behind Justin Jefferson, he should earn increased opportunities with T.J. Hockenson (knee) done for the season. Look for Addison to rank as a WR3/FLEX option in fantasy football this week.
Minnesota Vikings rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) is officially listed as questionable to play on Sunday Night Football in Week 17 against the Green Bay Packers. Addison returned to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday, which gives him a chance to play this weekend following an ankle injury that he suffered in the Week 16 loss to the Detroit Lions. The 21-year-old first-rounder will be an extremely risky fantasy commodity during championship week because of his questionable tag and the fact that the Vikings play in the final game of the week. Minnesota is also moving to rookie quarterback Jaren Hall for this one, so it makes sense to play it safe and avoid Addison in Week 17. If he's inactive, K.J. Osborn, who had a big game in Week 16 after Addison got hurt, would serve as the No. 2 behind All-Pro Justin Jefferson.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) was able to get back on the practice field on Thursday. The rookie wideout sat out on Wednesday, but returned for a limited session on Thursday. The fact Addison was able to practice at all is good news ahead of the Week 17 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The Vikings are without tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) for the rest of the season, so Addison should see increased involvement. If Addison sits, K.J. Osborn would see more action which would put him on the WR3 radar.
The Minnesota Vikings listed wide receivers Jordan Addison (ankle) and Jalen Nailor (concussion) as non-participants on their estimated practice report on Wednesday. Addison injured his ankle in the Week 16 loss to the Detroit Lions and was considered day-to-day by head coach Kevin O'Connell on Tuesday. Whether the 21-year-old can get back onto the practice field in the next two days will probably determine whether he can play in Week 17's divisional clash with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. If Addison is listed as questionable this week, it will make it even more difficult for fantasy managers to roll the dice on him. He had just one catch on four targets for a two-yard gain before leaving early on Sunday. K.J. Osborn, who had a big game against Detroit, would see his stock on the rise in Week 17 if Addison doesn't get cleared to play.
