  Jordan Addison — Week 3: Forty-One Yards for the Lead

  Addison caught 5 of 9 targets for 90 yards and a touchdown, a 41-yarder deep left on third and eight with 4:17 left in the half that broke a 10–10 tie; he had 71 of the 73 yards on that drive. Nine targets led the Vikings after Justin Jefferson left in the first quarter, and a third-quarter interception came on a throw intended for him, in a 23–16 win over the Buccaneers.

  Jordan Addison — Week 1: Two Third-Down Targets, No Catch

  Addison was thrown to twice Sunday, both times on third down, both from Carson Wentz, and caught neither: short left on third and five at the Green Bay twenty in the first quarter ahead of a field goal, and deep right on third and six in the third quarter. Justin Jefferson had nine targets, T.J. Hockenson five and Josh Oliver four, in a 39–22 win over the Packers.

  Jordan Addison Camp Update — August 31: The Receiver Room Settles at Six

  Jordan Addison made the initial fifty-three among six wide receivers, alongside Tai Felton, Myles Price and undrafted Dillon Bell, with four receivers waived. The starters rested in the finale, so his target evidence for the summer remains one two-minute completion from Kyler Murray.

  Jordan Addison Camp Update — August 23: Fifteen Yards in the Two-Minute Drill

  Jordan Addison's attributable week was one rep — a roughly fifteen-yard catch from Kyler Murray to move Wednesday's two-minute drill against Baltimore — before the starters sat Saturday's game. Small evidence, but again evidence of the specific connection his season depends on.

  Jordan Addison Camp Update — August 16: Healthy Thumb, Settled Quarterback

  Jordan Addison returned from his thumb injury Tuesday, the same day Kyler Murray was named the starter, and immediately caught back-to-back corner routes from him. The June case said better quarterback play unlocks the player; the quarterback is now settled.

  Jordan Addison 2026 Season Preview — a down year on a suspension and bad QB play

  Addison finished 2025 as WR44 across 14 games, averaging 8.1 half-PPR points per game in a season shaped more by quarterback instability and a suspension than by any decline in his role. His 90.2% availability rate from 2021–25 shows he stays on the field, which is the kind of input that tends to carry forward — though how much of his production was volume-driven versus circumstance-dependent remains the open question heading into next year.

  Jordan Addison was a top-20-ish receiver in each of his first two seasons, then took a step back in 2025 — three games lost to a suspension, the rest dragged down by shaky quarterback play. He's the 40-fourth receiver off the board, closing our run at pick a hundred six. The Muffed 2026 preview.

  The 2025 season was the down year: after a three-game suspension to open it, 42 catches on 79 targets for 610 yards and three touchdowns over 14 games, eight-two a game, WR45 per game. The signature was a nine-catch, a hundred 28-yard day against Philadelphia in Week 7 — the talent flashing through a frustrating year. The volume and the scoring both slipped.

  The arc is the reason for interest: 11 a game as a rookie, 12-one in year two — two genuinely productive seasons as Minnesota's number two next to Justin Jefferson — and then the eight-two dip. The first two years are the player; 2025 was the disruption.

  What the data says: his touchdown rate is low, a positive-regression note, and the underlying talent that produced two top-20-ish seasons doesn't vanish in a year. The dip tracks with the suspension and the quarterback play more than any decline in him.

  The situation, per the reports, is the swing: the down year was largely subpar quarterback play, and 2026 hinges on whether J.J. McCarthy — coming off a hand injury — takes a step, or Minnesota upgrades. Addison's not expected to face another suspension, and the team picked up his fifth-year option, a vote of confidence. Better quarterback play unlocks the player; more of the same caps him.

  The price: pick a hundred six, the 40-fourth receiver. Verdict: WATCHLIST — two prior productive seasons and a clean, healthy slate argue he's underpriced; the quarterback uncertainty that sank 2025 argues you can't bank the bounce. The counter for him: a proven number-two next to a defense-bending alpha, with home-run ability, at WR44, is value if the quarterback play improves. Against: that's the same "if" that broke last year. The talent says buy; the quarterback says watch.

  September watch: J.J. McCarthy's play — the whole swing; and Addison's target share next to Jefferson. Your guys, every week. That closes the run — previews now cover the entire ADP top hundred.
