Addison (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
After playing 75 of 78 offensive snaps this past Sunday against the Dolphins, Addison is dealing with hamstring soreness that sidelined him at Wednesday's session. With Justin Jefferson (ankle) resuming on-field work this week, the Vikings' top two wide receivers appear to be putting themselves on track to suit up Sunday at New Orleans. Thursday's injury report will reveal both players' activity levels.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Nursing hamstring soreness
Rotowire
Addison (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Addison has some hamstring soreness after he played 75 of 78 offensive snaps against the Dolphins last Sunday. With Justin Jefferson (ankle) missing that game versus Miami, Addison turned six targets into a 4-52-0 receiving line, as he took a back seat to T.J. Hockenson, who hauled in all 13 of his targets for 119 yards. The Vikings made a couple wideout additions to the practice squad Wednesday.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Will be Vikes' top WR for Week 4
Rotowire
Addison will serve as the Vikings' top wide receiver against the Dolphins on Sunday due to the absence of Justin Jefferson (ankle), Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Jefferson injured his ankle during the first half of the Vikings' Week 3 win over the Buccaneers. That allowed Addison to take over as the WR1, and he finished that game with five catches (on nine targets) for 90 yards and a touchdown. The Dolphins have been a top-5 defense against wide receivers this season, but Addison should still see a healthy amount of targets from Kyler Murray in Jefferson's absence, with Jauan Jennings, Tai Felton and tight end T.J. Hockenson also in the mix for more passes.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Justin Jefferson (ankle) missed practice Wednesday, and he could be out in Week 4 against Miami after leaving Week 3 at Tampa Bay. Addison stepped up with Jefferson out against the Buccaneers with five catches for 90 yards and a touchdown on nine targets, and he should get plenty of opportunities against the Dolphins if Jefferson can't go. If Jefferson is out, then Addison should be considered a borderline starter in two-receiver leagues. And if Jefferson is in, then I would still start Addison in three-receiver leagues. The Dolphins have only allowed one touchdown to a receiver this season, and Rashee Rice in Week 3 is the lone receiver to score more than 12 PPR points. That said, I'm confident in Jefferson and Addison against this secondary, and Addison would be a solid Fantasy option for the second week in a row if Jefferson is out.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Records first TD of season
Rotowire
Addison hauled in five of nine targets for 90 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 23-16 victory at Tampa Bay.
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 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.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Addison is off to a miserable start this season with a combined two catches for 21 yards on seven targets, but I'm hopeful things will improve for him in Week 3 with Kyler Murray (concussion) back. There's no guarantee Addison will fare better with Murray than he did with Carson Wentz, and Tampa Bay has only allowed Denzel Boston to score double digits in PPR this season despite playing against Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in Week 1. Addison's first NFL game was against Tampa Bay in 2023, and he finished with four catches for 61 yards and a touchdown on six targets for 16.1 PPR points. Let's see if he can do that again in Week 3, and I would start Addison in three-receiver leagues.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Two catches in rain-soaked victory
Rotowire
Addison caught two of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears.
Addison was able to secure his first two catches of the season. There was consistent rain throughout the entire contest, making it incredibly difficult for either side to get into any sort of groove through the air, but Addison's five targets were second only to Justin Jefferson (six) on the Vikings. The team will travel to Tampa Bay in Week 3, and it's possible that the offense could get a boost with quarterback Kyler Murray (concussion) on track to return.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Addison had a bad game in Week 1 against Green Bay with no catches on two targets, but he should rebound in Week 2 against Chicago. I like Addison as a starter in all three-receiver leagues, and I'm hopeful he gets another start with Carson Wentz if Kyler Murray (concussion) is out. Last year, Addison played four games with Wentz, and he scored at least 15 PPR points in three of those outings. Addison has a good history against Chicago with 26 catches for 312 yards and three touchdowns in his past five meetings, and the Bears just allowed Jalen Coker and Tetairoa McMillan to combine for 13 catches for 213 yards and two touchdowns on 17 targets, which bodes well for Addison and Justin Jefferson in this game.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: No catches in Week 1
Rotowire
Addison failed to record a catch on two targets in Sunday's 39-22 win over the Packers.
Addison was second on the team with his 28 routes, but his two targets were a distant fourth on the Vikings, trailing Justin Jefferson (nine), T.J. Hockenson (five) and Josh Oliver (four). Kyler Murray (concussion) was knocked out of the game in the first half, giving way to Carson Wentz, who had eyes for Jefferson and his tight ends. Addison gets a great on-paper matchup with the Bears' leaky secondary next Sunday, but the wideout will be hard to trust for fantasy lineups.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Addison was miserable against Green Bay last season with one catch for 8 yards on four targets in two games, but we know 2025 was a lost year for the Vikings' passing attack because of J.J. McCarthy. Things should improve this season with Kyler Murray at quarterback, and Addison scored at least 18.9 PPR points in three of his first four meetings with the Packers in 2023 and 2024. Micah Parsons (knee) was hurt in Week 15 last year, and Green Bay allowed seven touchdowns to receivers in the final four games of the season. Parson is out for Week 1, and that should bode well for Addison, Justin Jefferson and potentially Jauan Jennings in this matchup. Addison should be considered a starter in all three-receiver leagues.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Makes impressive grab in final practice
Rotowire
Addison provided one of the highlights of the day during the Vikings' final training camp practice Aug. 26, connecting with quarterback Kyler Murray on a toe-dragging, sideline catch, Andrew Krammer of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Along with most of the Vikings' other key starters, Addison was rested for the final two preseason contests, but he was taking regular reps with the first-team offense throughout camp and will be ready to go for Week 1 against the Packers. As was the case for nearly every Minnesota pass catcher last season, Addison saw his production crater as a result of suspect quarterback play from J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer, but his fantasy outlook should be improved heading into 2026 while Murray steps in as the Vikings' new starter under center. Over his first two NFL seasons, Addison averaged 4.2 receptions, 55.8 yards and 0.6 touchdowns per game while Kirk Cousins and Sam Darnold served as the Vikings' primary quarterbacks.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Good to go in preseason opener
Rotowire
Addison (thumb) caught his only target for eight yards in Saturday's 13-10 preseason win over the Giants.
The fourth-year wideout jammed his thumb early in training camp, but Addison was out there with the starters to begin the Vikings' preseason opener and hauled in his only look from new starting quarterback Kyler Murray. Addison has yet to reach 1,000 receiving yards in a season and has seen his numbers steadily decline since a strong rookie campaign in 2023, but he could be headed for a rebound with Murray under center and Justin Jefferson still on hand to command attention from opposition secondaries.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Nearing full participation
Rotowire
Addison (thumb) is expected to be close to a full participant at the Vikings' night practice Sunday, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Addison has been battling a thumb injury at practice throughout the week, but it has been considered to be a minor injury throughout the entire process. The wide receiver appears to be on track to be back to full health in the near future, and the earlier he can be back to 100 percent, the better, as Minnesota is in the midst of accessing who its starting quarterback will be in 2026.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Jams thumb, not practicing
Rotowire
Addison jammed his thumb earlier this week and won't catch passes during Wednesday's practice, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Imaging on the thumb came back clean, so Addison shouldn't be out for long. He'll be on the practice field with his teammates Wednesday afternoon, but he won't participate in team or individual drills while his thumb is healing.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Maintains key role in WR corps
Rotowire
Addison is set to maintain his key role alongside Justin Jefferson in a Minnesota WR corps that added Jauan Jennings this offseason, Rob Kleifield of the team's official site reports.
The Vikings exercised Addison's fifth-year option in April, with the 2023 first-rounder now under contract with the team through 2027. Over the course of 14 regular-season games in 2025, Addison recorded a 42-610-3 receiving line on 79 targets, but issues with drops and subpar QB play didn't help his cause. With former Cardinal Kyler Murray now on board and viewed as the favorite start at quarterback in Week 1 over J.J. McCarthy, and Jennings likely to draw more defensive attention than prior WR3 Jalen Nailor, Addison profiles as a bounce-back candidate in 2026.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Gets trespassing charge dismissed
Rotowire
Addison is no longer facing a misdemeanor trespassing charge stemming from his Jan. 12 arrest in Tampa after a Florida state attorney filed a termination of prosecution Tuesday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
With the charge being dropped, Addison is unlikely to face any discipline from the NFL. The wideout has now had three brushes with the law since entering the league as a first-round pick in 2023, as he previously plead guilty to a July 2023 misdemeanor speeding charge and was also arrested on a DUI charge in 2024. When available, Addison has performed well in a complementary role behind Justin Jefferson, but his off-field issues could play a part in whether Minnesota decides to exercise the fifth-year option on his rookie contract this spring. If exercised, the team option would guarantee Addison around $17.5 million for the 2027 season, per OverTheCap.com.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Another two-catch outing
Rotowire
Addison caught two of three targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Giants.
Addison couldn't hold onto what would have been a 25-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. He finished a distant second on the team in receiving yards behind Justin Jefferson (85). Minnesota's passing game will be tough to trust Thursday against the Lions, especially if rookie Max Brosmer is thrust into his second NFL start. Brosmer entered after J.J. McCarthy (hand) left Sunday's win in the second quarter.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Tending to Achilles injury
Rotowire
Addison was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an Achilles injury, Emily Leiker of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Since making his season debut Week 4 following a three-game suspension to begin the campaign, Addison was on point with an 18-283-1 line on 26 targets in his first three appearances. Since then uneven QB play for the Vikings has impacted all members of the offense, with Addison managing just a 19-227-2 line on 44 targets over the last 10 contests. Now with a health concern in tow, his status will be one to watch as the week goes on to see if he may be in danger of missing Sunday's road matchup with the Cowboys.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: Inefficient with 10 targets Sunday
Rotowire
Addison finished with five receptions on 10 targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to Seattle.
Third-string QB Max Brosmer struggled to deliver the ball to his top receivers in the first start of his career, instead throwing four picks while limiting WR Justin Jefferson to a career-low four yards. Addison led the Vikings in targets (10), but his quarterback's erratic play resulted in a forgettable line outside of PPR formats. It was, however, a marked improvement over the bagel the 23-year-old posted in last week's box score versus the Packers. Minnesota's entire passing attack takes a major hit with Brosmer under center, even with how poorly J.J. McCarthy (concussion) has played up until this point, so Addison's value will improve from poor to risky if his starting quarterback can return against Washington next Sunday.

Vikings' Jordan Addison: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Addison hit a new low in Week 12 at Green Bay with no catches on one target, and he has now combined for seven catches for 103 yards and a touchdown on 23 targets in four starts with J.J. McCarthy. We'll see if McCarthy starts in Week 13 at Seattle since he's dealing with a concussion, but it will be hard to trust Addison with undrafted rookie Max Brosmer making his first NFL start. The Seahawks are also No. 10 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and Addison is barely worth starting in three-receiver leagues in Week 13.
