News: 2 days agoAddison hauled in five of nine targets for 90 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 23-16 victory at Tampa Bay.

Spin: Serving as the Vikings' de facto No. 1 wide receiver after Justin Jefferson (ankle) exited in the first half and didn't return, Addison parlayed the opportunity into his most productive performance of the young campaign. In particular, Addison connected with QB Kyler Murray for a 41-yard TD (his first of the season) with less than five minutes left in the second quarter. Head coach Kevin O'Connell told Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune afterward that Minnesota isn't too worried about Jefferson's health concern, so even if he's able to suit up next Sunday versus the Dolphins, Addison could hold more sway in the offense if Jefferson isn't 100 percent.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: After impressing with a 70-911-10 receiving line on 108 targets as a rookie in 2023, Addison has seen his target, reception, yardage and touchdown totals decrease each of the last two seasons. A few missed games were partially to blame for the dips, but Minnesota's quarterback woes were the main culprit in 2025, as Addison went from 10 TDs and a 65% catch rate in both 2023 and 2024 to three TDs and a 53% catch rate last season. Addison already has a pair of top-25 fantasy campaigns to his name, but it may be a stretch for him to get there in 2026 with Kyler Murray leading the Minnesota offense, not to mention Jauan Jennings' addition to the lineup. The 24-year-old is best valued as WR4/flex.
