Weekly Writeup
Addison could see some negative regression soon. He's WR18 in PPR points but just WR50 in expected PPR points, according to Pro Football Focus. We're expecting shootout conditions against a Chargers D that ranks last in total DVOA through two weeks, though. So save any regression concerns for another matchup.

Bottom Line

Though small in stature (5’11, 173 pounds), this rookie WR showed he’s a big-time playmaker in college that can immediately impact the Vikings.

Addison stands to fill the WR2 role vacated by Adam Thielen. He has a good shot at leading this year’s rookie WRs in scoring and makes for a solid pick on the WR3 fringe.


What We Learned Last Year
  • Addison was selected 23rd overall in the draft.
  • He spent two seasons at Pitt before transferring to USC in 2022.
    • He broke out as a true freshman at age 18, with 60 catches, 666 yards, and 4 TDs in 2020.
    • As a sophomore, Addison recorded 100 catches, 1,593 yards, and 17 TDs with now-Steelers QB Kenny Pickett. He ended the season as a member of the All-ACC first team and All-America first team, and received the Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s top WR.
  • As a junior, he recorded 59 catches, 875 yards, and 8 TDs in 11 games.
    • He missed two games with a left leg injury and the Cotton Bowl vs. Tulane with an ankle issue.
  • Addison measured in at the NFL Combine at 5'11, 173 pounds, and recorded a 4.49-second 40 time.


What to Expect in 2023

  • The departure of WR Adam Thielen leaves Addison as the favorite to be the WR2 opposite superstar Justin Jefferson.
  • The Vikings finished last season fifth in the NFL in pass rate, in their first year under HC Kevin O’Connell. Expect that kind of passing lean once again.
  • Despite seeing his targets per game fall vs. the previous two years, Thielen still reached 107 targets last season – even while ranking just 57th among WRs in target share (adjusted for games missed). Thielen turned that into a WR30 PPR finish, even with poor yardage efficiency and a sub-10% TD rate.
  • That presents a fairly easy path for Addison to score as a WR3 right away – at least.
  • WR K.J. Osborn stands as primary competition. But the Vikings ran three WRs at the league’s eighth-highest rate last season. So both players should see the field plenty.
  • Addison possesses strong separation and deep-ball receiving skills. He averaged a nice 14.3 yards per catch for his college career, with a high of 15.9 in 2021 with Pickett.

Jordan Addison, WR MIN

11:55pm EDT 9/14/23

Jordan Addison scores deep TD again

For the second straight week, Vikings WR Jordan Addison paid the fantasy bills with a long TD. It was a 39-yarder on busted coverage in Week 1. On Thursday night vs. the Eagles, Addison beat CB Josh Jobe on a deep route and then shook his tackle attempt for a 62-yard TD. The rookie has now tallied 133 yards and two TDs on seven catches and 11 targets through the first two games of the season. That's 19.0 yards per catch and 12.1 yards per target -- completely unsustainable numbers. Addison's volume should grow going forward, though. He continued to trail WR K.J. Osborn in snaps and routes tonight. But that shouldn't last much longer, especially after Osborn committed two ugly drops in the loss to the Eagles. Consider Addison a WR3 for now. He has the potential to flirt with WR2 value in this pass-heavy Vikings offense as soon as he becomes something close to an every-snap player.

Related Players K.J. Osborn

Vikings WR Jordan Addison scored his first career TD in Week 1. Kirk Cousins found the rookie deep for a 39-yard score on 3rd and 11. Addison’s 6 targets matched K.J. Osborn’s total and was predictably behind Justin Jefferson’s tally (12). Still, you have to view Addison’s debut as a success. The 21-year-old should prove useful as a matchup-based WR3 going forward. We expect the Vikings to remain a pass heavy squad in 2023.

Related Players Justin Jefferson

Vikings WR Jordan Addison (concussion) returned to practice on Wednesday and appeared to be a full-go, according to The Star Tribune's Andrew Krammer. If Addison hasn't been fully cleared yet, he's close. The rookie will be ready to go in plenty of time for Week 1. Consider his fantasy value unaffected by the concussion.

Vikings WR Jordan Addison is in concussion protocol, HC Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday. Addison has experienced "very light symptoms," per Stefanski, but could be cleared as soon as Monday. This shouldn't impact Addison's availability for the start of the regular season, but we'll let you know when he gets back on the field.

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that WR Jordan Addison is "off to a good start" in training camp. The rookie missed much of the spring with an undisclosed injury but seems to have put that behind him. "What he's done on the grass so far has confirmed a lot of the things that we expected from Jordan," O'Connell added. "He's also done some things instinctively just playing football within the confines of our scheme... he's showing a willingness to be a blocker, he's showing understanding of how he fits within the scheme and the rhythm and timing of the QB in the pass game. I'm really excited about him." Addison remains a good bet to open the season as Minnesota's No. 2 WR, giving him immediate WR3 potential in fantasy lineups.

Dynasty Write-up
Addison broke out as an 18-year-old true freshman and turned in one of the best sophomore seasons in college football history. He underwhelmed this past year after transferring to USC — but only relative to massive expectations. While he’s undersized at 5’11, 173 pounds, his tape screams long-term starter alongside WR Justin Jefferson.
