Vikings' Jordan Addison: Past cramping from Sunday
Rotowire
Addison (leg) wasn't listed on the Vikings' first Week 12 injury report Wednesday.
Addison suffered from cramps in one of his legs during the fourth quarter this past Sunday at Tennessee, which forced him to miss the rest of the contest. He thus finished the Week 11 win with three catches (on eight targets) for 61 yards and one touchdown on a 60 percent snap share. With the issue now in the rearview mirror, though, Addison is good to go ahead of Sunday's game at Chicago.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Fails to return due to leg cramping
Rotowire
Addison was unable to return to Sunday's 23-13 win over the Titans after he experienced cramping in one of his legs during the fourth quarter of the contest, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Due in part to the cramping issue, Addison played only 44 of the Vikings' 73 offensive snaps, with his 60 percent share marking his second-lowest rate of the season. The wideout still came through with three catches for 61 yards and a touchdown on eight targets before exiting the game. Addison should be ready to go for next Sunday's contest in Chicago, where he'll likely see his snap share rise back to its typical 80-to-95 percent range.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Dealing with cramps
Rotowire
Addison is questionable to return to Sunday's game at Tennessee due to cramps, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Prior to his exit early in the fourth quarter, Addison hauled in three of eight targets for 61 yards and one touchdown. Jalen Nailor, Trent Sherfield and Brandon Powell are the healthy wide receivers aside from premier option Justin Jefferson with Addison sidelined.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Held quiet in win
Rotowire
Addison recorded two receptions on five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars.
Addison continues to struggle to command targets, as he's now surpassed five targets in only one of seven games this season. That's led to disappointing results that continued Sunday, as he was targeted deep down the field on a few occasions but managed to translate that into receptions of only 21 and four yards. Addison has more than 50 receiving yards in just two contests on the campaign, making him an unreliable fantasy option that is primarily dependent on big plays to produce.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Nabs TD on SNF
Rotowire
Addison corralled all five targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Colts. He added one rushing attempt for nine yards.
The 22-year-old scored a touchdown for the first time since Week 4, helping bolster what has been a disappointing first half of the season. Addison's low-end production limits his fantasy value to deeper formats for next Sunday's tilt against Jacksonville.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
T.J. Hockenson (knee) is expected to make his 2024 debut in Week 9 against the Colts, and that could further impact the targets for Addison. He has four targets or less in four of the five games he's played this season, and in his past two outings against the Lions and Rams, Addison has combined for five catches for 88 yards and no touchdowns on seven targets. He's scored 9.6 PPR points or less in all but one game, and until he starts playing at a high level on a consistent basis, you can sit Addison in the majority of leagues.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Another disappointing effort
Rotowire
Addison brought in two of three targets for 22 yards in the Vikings' 30-20 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.
Addison was once again a bit player in the air attack, with the likes of Aaron Jones, Josh Oliver and Jalen Nailor all recording the same amount of receptions as the second-year wideout. Addison hasn't topped three receptions or 72 yards in any game this season, and he's now logged four or fewer targets in four of five contests. Addison's next opportunity to revert to his 2023 production comes in a favorable Week 9 home matchup against the Colts on Sunday night, Nov. 3.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Three grabs in loss
Rotowire
Addison brought in three of four targets for 66 yards in the Vikings' 31-29 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Addison was third or tied for that slotting in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Vikings on the afternoon, but that resulted in relatively unremarkable production. The second-year wideout did manage a game-long 51-yard reception, and Addison's numbers were a marked improvement over his 36-yard tally in Week 5 against the Jets. Addison has exactly three catches in each of his first four games heading into a Week 8 road matchup against the Rams on Thursday night.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
The Lions are No. 4 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers and just lost their best pass rusher in Aiden Hutchinson (leg) for the season. That should bode well for Addison and Justin Jefferson, and Addison is worth using as a high-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues. He only scored 6.6 PPR points against the Jets in Week 5, but he had eight targets in that matchup. In his last game against the Lions last season, Addison had four catches for 57 yards and a touchdown, so hopefully, he can repeat that level of production or better in this Week 7 NFC North showdown.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Struggles against Jets
Rotowire
Addison recorded three receptions on eight targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Jets.
The short-term outcome wasn't positive for Addison, as he averaged an abysmal 4.5 yards per target. However, he became a more significant part of the offensive game plan by tallying a season-high eight targets. The Vikings will head into a Week 6 bye, but Addison should have a significant role in a pivotal Week 7 matchup in a divisional showdown with the Lions.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Addison returned from a two-game absence with an ankle injury with a bang in Week 4 at Green Bay with 22.9 PPR points. He scored two touchdowns, one on the ground, but he only had four targets and three catches for 72 yards. I'm hopeful we'll get more volume for Addison moving forward, but this is a tough matchup to trust him against the Jets. They are No. 7 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and while Justin Jefferson remains a must-start option in all leagues, Addison should only be started in three-receiver formats in Week 5.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Stays limited Thursday
Rotowire
Addison (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.
The Vikings held a walkthrough Wednesday, so Addison's listing of limited on the ensuing injury report was an estimate. With an appearance at an actual practice under his belt one day later, he now appears to be closing in on a return. In the end, Friday's report will unveil whether he goes into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest at Green Bay or cleared for his first game action since Week 1, when he initially sustained a right ankle sprain. For what it's worth, Addison told Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press on Thursday that he expects to suit up Sunday.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Officially limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Addison (ankle) was listed as limited participant Wednesday on the Vikings' first Week 4 injury report.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell told Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com that Addison was a candidate to take part in Wednesday's walkthrough, which has come to pass. Addison is working his way back from a sprained right ankle that he suffered Week 1, and his return to the practice field is the first step as the team ramps up for Sunday's visit to Green Bay. Whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for that contest will be revealed when Minnesota posts its final report of Week 4 on Friday.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Out for Week 3
Rotowire
Addison (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Houston, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Addison did some work on a side field this week, but he hasn't actually practiced since suffering an ankle sprain Week 1 against the Giants. His absence for a second straight game leaves Jalen Nailor and Brandon Powell as the top wide receivers alongside Justin Jefferson, who has avoided an injury designation after hurting his quadriceps last week. Coach Kevin O'Connell told Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Friday that Addison is "in a good place" and has a good chance to return Week 4 against Green Bay.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Remains sidelined Friday
Rotowire
Addison (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Addison has yet to take the practice field since injuring his ankle in Minnesota's regular-season opener, so he presumably will be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans once the Vikings publish their injury report Friday, though it will be worth checking back for official word on the second-year wide receiver's status. Teammate Justin Jefferson (quadriceps) has been practicing this week, and Jalen Nailor would be in line to maintain an expanded role if Addison is indeed ruled out.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Missing out on another practice
Rotowire
Addison (ankle) didn't participate in the portion of Thursday's practice that was available to the media, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Addison was present for the session, though he was merely conducting rehab on a side field. With Addison set to be listed as a non-participant in practice for the second day in a row, he'll likely need to practice with his healthy teammates as at least a limited participant Friday to have a legitimate chance at playing Sunday against the Texans. While Addison was sidelined for the Vikings' Week 2 loss to the 49ers, Jalen Nailor (3-54-1 receiving line on four targets, 93 percent snap share) was the biggest beneficiary of an expanded role behind No. 1 wideout Justin Jefferson (quadricep).

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Could return to action Week 3
Rotowire
Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that the team is hoping Addison (ankle) will be available Week 3 versus the Texans, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
O'Connell said the Vikings will need to see what type of work Addison can handle in practice this week, and that the team's priority remains his long-term health, but it looks like there's a chance the second-year wideout could be back in action as early as Sunday. Top wide receiver Justin Jefferson (quad), who was forced out of action Week 2 due to a bruised quadriceps, also has been labeled day-to-day, which bodes well for the health of Minnesota's passing game heading into a tough road matchup against Houston.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Not looking good for Week 2
Rotowire
Addison (ankle) isn't practicing Friday and thus seems unlikely to play Sunday against the 49ers, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Addison sprained his left ankle in August but made it back for Week 1, only to sprain his right ankle in a win over the Giants. He hasn't practiced at all this week, which likely leaves Jalen Nailor and Brandon Powell to join Justin Jefferson in three-wide formations come Sunday.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Missing from Thursday's practice
Rotowire
Addison (ankle) wasn't spotted on the field at Thursday's practice, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
With Addison set to miss a second consecutive practice, he'll likely need to get back on the field Friday as at least a limited participant to have a realistic chance at playing in Sunday's game against the 49ers. Should Addison's right ankle injury keep him inactive Sunday, Jalen Nailor and Brandon Powell would likely be featured more prominently in three-receiver sets alongside No. 1 option Justin Jefferson.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Hopeful for Week 2
Rotowire
Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday he's "hopeful" that Addison (ankle) will be available versus the 49ers in Week 2, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
O'Connell said that Addison, who was forced out of Sunday's win over the Giants in the third quarter, is dealing with "significant soreness" in his right ankle. Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports that O'Connell also said the Vikings will be "smart" with Addison and that the second-year wideout's availability will depend on how he responds to treatment. If Addison does have to miss any time, an increased role behind Justin Jefferson could fall to Jalen Nailor, who scored a 21-yard touchdown on his only reception Week 1.
