  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.
