Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison caught 3-of-8 targets for 29 yards in his team's 27-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the Wild Card round. It was a forgettable day for the entire Vikings offense, as quarterback Sam Darnold was put in the dirt on nine occasions. Addison was the intended target on a few deep shots and could have had a more significant outing, but had trouble corralling most of the targets. The sophomore wideout performed well in a complementary role to his superstar teammate Justin Jefferson in 2024, and the two should continue to be a dynamic duo for the foreseeable future. However, it's impossible to know who will man the helm for Minnesota next season at this time. J.J. McCarthy (knee) is recovering from injury, while Darnold and Nick Mullens are set to be free agents, leaving Daniel Jones as the only healthy QB on the roster.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will line up for his first career playoff start against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night. The 22-year-old's 2024 was an improvement from his debut campaign despite a dip in statistics. However, he'd likely have set new career highs across the board had he not missed two games early on with an ankle injury. While he put up a donut in the fantasy column -; on six targets -- in last weekend's loss to the Detroit Lions, Addison is a strong option in the Wild Card round. He'll get a Rams defense that's overall been a favorable spot for wideouts this season -; allowing 34 fantasy points per game. With teammate Justin Jefferson undoubtedly due for double coverage, the second-year pro should be afforded plenty of open looks. The former USC Trojan is RotoBaller's PPR WR8 for this weekend's slate.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison caught 1-of-6 targets and gained no yards in his team's 31-9 loss to the Detroit Lions. Oof. Addison didn't receive his first target until the Vikings' first drive of the second quarter -- a bubble screen he caught for no gain. The next play was a deep shot to him in the end zone where he had a step on the defender, but quarterback Sam Darnold overthrew him. Otherwise, he and Darnold were not on the same page Sunday night. Detroit's defense was hungry and made a statement with linebacker Alex Anzalone back in the lineup -- keeping the QB out of rhythm and disrupting plays on the back end. With the loss, Minnesota will forego a week off and line up against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium next Monday night. It's another exploitable matchup for the Vikes, so expect them to come out swinging in a win-or-go-home Wild Card clash.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison should be in store for another productive outing in Sunday night's divisional clash with the Detroit Lions. The second-year wideout has improved in his sophomore campaign, generating a modest 4.4 receptions and 62.5 yards per game compared to 4.1 and 53.5 from a season ago. After a shaky start to the year, Addison has posted just two single-digit fantasy performances since Week 9 -; rattling off 644 yards and nine touchdowns across 48 receptions in that span. The 22-year-old gets a dream matchup this Sunday night against a Lions defense that's let up the most receiving yards per game to WRs (3,040). Despite two fewer appearances thus far in 2024, he still has a chance to set new career-high marks -; needing eight receptions, two scores, and 37 yards. Addison clocks in as RotoBaller's PPR WR17 in this week's rankings.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison corralled 6-of-8 targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-25 win over their division-rival Green Bay Packers. Addison has come on nicely and been superb over the last two months plus. Since Week 9, he's the PPR WR5 and notched at least eight targets in all but three appearances. The second-year wideout has matured while playing across from teammate Justin Jefferson, evolving the tandem into a formidable WR duo that's given defenses headaches. Addison could have had an even bigger game but let a perfectly thrown ball fall to the turf on what would have been a 39-yard TD. Expect the 22-year-old and the Vikings offense to be out in full force next weekend in a premier meeting with the Detroit Lions.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will get a staunch test this Sunday in the visiting Green Bay Packers. Addison reached just 35 yards in Week 16 but caught five passes and reeled in a touchdown -; the seventh in his last eight appearances. He also commanded another eight targets, the fifth time he's registered at least that many in six contests. The 22-year-old has really turned it on in the second half and could still set career highs across the board over the final few weeks despite missing two games earlier in the year with an ankle injury. His team will line up for a rematch with the Packers in Week 17 that's been stout on the back end -- letting up the ninth-fewest passing yards per game in the NFL (209.7). Fortunately, Green Bay will likely be without defensive back Jaire Alexander (knee), and Addison should be afforded open looks, with teammate Justin Jefferson drawing plenty of attention. He comes in at RotoBaller's PPR WR22 in this week's rankings.
Jordan Addison Scores Early, Disappears Late Vs. Seattle
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison brought in 5-of-8 targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in his team's 27-24 win against the Seattle Seahawks. Addison was Minnesota's second-leading wideout on the day, but it didn't amount to much while target-hog teammate Justin Jefferson racked up 144 yards and two touchdowns on his 13 targets (ten receptions). Still, the 22-year-old came through for fantasy managers that stuck with him -- notching his seventh TD in the last eight games. While it wasn't the most productive outing from a yardage standpoint, Addison's owners can take solace in that he was still heavily involved -- commanding at least eight targets for the fifth time since Week 11. The former first-round pick will get a tougher ask in the fantasy championship next weekend against the Green Bay Packers secondary.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will square off against the Seattle Seahawks in a road matchup this Sunday. The 22-year-old will look to continue a stretch of strong performances against a beatable Seahawks defense. Since Week 11, the second-year wideout is the WR5 in PPR formats -; racking up 30 receptions, 473 yards, and five touchdowns on 44 targets. He's been the clear second option for quarterback Sam Darnold recently and even outperformed superstar teammate Justin Jefferson several times over that frame. Seattle has been stingy in the yardage department, but they're in the league's top half regarding fantasy points allowed per game to wideouts (33.4). Addison ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR26 ahead of this weekend's slate of action.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison corralled 7-of-9 targets for 63 yards in Monday's 30-12 victory against the Chicago Bears. The 22-year-old continued an excellent stretch of performances in Week 15, racking up his second-highest target and reception total of 2024. Addison has at least seven receptions in three of four contests and at least 61 receiving yards in four of five. After a slow start to the season, he's really come on over the second half and has been a fantastic complimentary option across from WR1 Justin Jefferson in the Vikings offense. He isn't as consistent as Jefferson -- but not many athletes are. The USC product will get a chance to build on his progress in Week 16 against an exploitable Seattle Seahawks defensive unit.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will look to continue his hot stretch in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears. The second-year wideout began the season slow and mostly uninvolved in Minnesota's offense. However, that all changed in his first meeting against the Bears in Week 12 when he went off for eight receptions, 162 yards, and a TD. Since then, Addison has put together an impressive 20/349/4 line -; a stark contrast to the 24/359/3 he racked up over his first eight games. Chicago was a chore for opposing passing attacks earlier this year, but they've softened up a bit since their loss to the Vikings. The USC product is getting hot at the right time, and Minnesota's offense has looked good. Fire him up as RotoBaller's PPR WR26 in this week's rankings.
