Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (cramps) caught 3-of-8 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The eight targets matched a season-high for the second-year wideout, and the score was his third on the season and second in three games. Addison's touchdown was a 47-yard catch-and-run in which he burned Tennessee's defense up the left sideline. It was a nice effort from the 22-year-old, who has had trouble building on his spectacular rookie season. However, seeing him match superstar Justin Jefferson's team-high of eight targets in the contest was encouraging, though he could have had an even bigger day if a bout with cramping hadn't knocked him out of the game early in the fourth quarter. The former USC Trojan will get another staunch test next weekend when the Vikings square off against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Leading up to Week 11, the Bears had allowed the seventh-fewest passing yards per game to opposing offenses (190.4).
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (cramps) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans and is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had caught three of his eight targets for 61 yards and one touchdown. Even if Addison doesn't return in Week 11, fantasy managers should feel confident about his ability to recover and be available for the Vikings next weekend in Chicago. He continues to rank as an intriguing WR3/FLEX option in most fantasy leagues. In the meantime, Jalen Nailor will step up as the Vikings' No. 2 wide receiver behind Justin Jefferson.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is an unenticing fantasy option in Week 11 when his team takes on the Tennessee Titans on the road. The second-year wideout is averaging a paltry three receptions and 42.6 yards per contest through seven appearances. He has been marginally more involved over the prior two weeks, garnering at least five targets in both outings. Still, it won't be easy to trust him this coming Sunday against one of the more effective pass defenses in the league. Tennessee has been committed to shutting down their opponent's air attacks, allowing an average of just 111 yards per game to wideouts and the fewest fantasy points per game to the position (13.6). Addison presents as RotoBaller's PPR WR49 for this weekend's slate of games.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday in Week 10. It's been a bit of a sophomore slump for Addison this season, as he is averaging just over three catches and 45.5 yards per game with two touchdowns in six contests. He had a nice outing last weekend, reeling in all five of his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown against a porous Colts defense. He may do so again in another intriguing matchup against a lowly Jaguars defensive unit that's given up the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2024. Still, as the matchup does not project to be a shootout with quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) trending in the wrong direction, fantasy managers could be disappointed with Addison's performance if he doesn't hit pay dirt. The 22-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR WR33 heading into Week 10.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison reeled in all five of his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in his team's 21-13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football. It was a strange game for Minnesota as they moved the ball at will against a hapless Colts defense. However, they saw multiple drives stall in the red zone during the first half. It was the first touchdown for the second-year wideout since Week 4, and the five receptions were a new season high. Addison may never garner such lofty target totals on a Vikings offense that presents as one of the more run-centric teams in the league, especially playing across the field from one of the NFL greats in his teammate, Justin Jefferson. Still, he's a solid WR2 for an NFL squad. Minnesota again gets a tempting matchup next Sunday when they face a soft Jacksonville Jaguars defense in a road matchup.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison gets a tantalizing Week 9 matchup when his team hosts the visiting Indianapolis Colts this Sunday. The second-year wideout has been mildly disappointing in 2024 after a breakout rookie season, but he has a chance to right the ship against a soft Colts defense at U.S. Bank Stadium. Indianapolis is affording their opponent's passing attacks the eighth-highest yards per pass attempt (6.7) and has let up the ninth-most passing first downs in the NFL (91). The 22-year-old could be in store for a nice performance on the field but might not be a boon to your lineup unless he scores a touchdown -- something he's done just once this season after notching ten such in his rookie campaign. Addison is the PPR WR39 in RotoBaller's Week 9 ranks.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison hasn't been able to give fantasy managers much value at all this season. He certainly didn't help them with his performance against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. Addison hauled in two of his three targets for 22 yards in the loss. This was his worst performance of the season as Addison has struggled to remain relevant in the receiving game. It probably won't get better for him with tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) expected to make his season debut next week. That will probably mean even less volume for Addison heading into a favorable matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The potential is there, but he can't be trusted as anything more than a WR4.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is a worthwhile WR3/flex option heading into Week 8 against the Los Angeles Rams. While he's always a threat to score touchdowns, he doesn't have major upside in his current role against a respectable Rams passing defense. Addison has been held to three catches in all four of his games this season, and he typically commands around four targets. This trend of relatively low volume should continue against a Los Angeles defense allowing the third-fewest receptions and the ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers this year. Addison has been a top-24 receiver in just one of his four games so far, and he's ranked outside the top 50 in two of those four.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison reeled in 3-of-4 targets for 66 yards in the team's 31-29 loss to the Detroit Lions. It was another modest outing for Addison, who has now caught three balls in each of his four contests this season. He somewhat saved his fantasy day in this one with a long reception of 51 yards that helped set up a Vikings field goal but was otherwise held in check by a formidable Lions defense. Third-year wideout Jalen Nailor racked up one more catch and target than the 22-year-old and out-gained him by 10 yards in the matchup -- the first time he's done so all season. While the USC product is a good WR in his own right, ceiling games will be challenging to come by while sharing the field with target-hog Justin Jefferson -- potentially even less so when tight end T.J. Hockenson enters the fold. Minnesota will travel to Los Angeles on a short week to take on the Rams on Thursday Night Football.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison looked great throughout his inaugural campaign, ending the year with 10 touchdowns. Unfortunately, he's struggled this season, finding the end zone once. Granted, the wideout has only appeared in three of the Vikings' five contests. Still, fantasy managers have been disappointed with his lack of output. With Aaron Jones (hamstring) questionable for the Week 7 divisional encounter with the Lions, there is a chance Addison could get more involved. However, he's hard to trust in any situation, so fantasy managers may want to keep him out of the lineup until he turns it around.
