Jordan Addison

22-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Minnesota Vikings
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Addison got off to a fast start in the NFL, coming in as the 23nd overall pick last year after a college career with 3,134 yards and 29 touchdowns over three seasons. His slim build (5-11, 173) didn't seem like too much of a problem during his rookie year, and a mediocre 40 time (4.49) didn't prevent the former Pitt/USC star from earning a key role out of the gate. Addison scored TDs in his first two games and seven over the first eight weeks, averaging 4.5 catches for 60.3 yards on 6.5 targets in that stretch. Justin Jefferson's hamstring injury helped Addison see some extra passes during that time -- 23 targets Weeks 6-8 -- but things took a turn for the worse after Kirk Cousins suffered an Achilles' tear Week 8. While Addison got similar volume (6.2 targets per game), his efficiency numbers plummeted with backup QBs, including a 60.7 percent catch rate (compared to 69.2 in Cousins' starts) and 7.7 yards per target (9.3 with Cousins). Addison finished the year at 70-911-10 on 108 targets, ranking 18th among WRs in routes run (584) and 40th in aDOT (12.2). His per-route numbers were somewhat less impressive (18.5 percent target rate, 1.56 YPRR), though still quite good for a 21-year-old who played eight games with both Jefferson and TE T.J. Hockenson on the field. Hockenson may miss part of the upcoming year after a late-December ACL tear, but the bigger question is what happens next at QB with rookie J.J. McCarthy and/or Sam Darnold replacing Cousins. There's also a good chance Addison is suspended at some point for an offseason DWI arrest, though that might not happen until 2025. Read Past Outlooks

Arrested on DWI charge
WRMinnesota Vikings
July 14, 2024
Addison was arrested Friday in Los Angeles on suspicion of driving under the influence, Luca Evans of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
According to a report from California Highway Patrol, Addison was found asleep behind the wheel of an immobilized vehicle blocking a lane of traffic on the freeway near Los Angeles International Airport at 11:06 p.m. local time Friday. The 22-year-old was then arrested and released shortly after a DUI investigation early Saturday. The Vikings released a statement Sunday acknowledging that they are aware of Addison's arrest and are in the process of gathering more information regarding the incident, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. Last summer, Addison pled guilty to a misdemeanor speeding charge after being cited for driving 140 miles per hour in Minnesota. The 2023 first-round pick went on to play in all 17 games during his rookie season, logging 70 catches for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns.

DraftKings offers the best value for stacking Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin, while Drafters and Underdog tend to have top running backs available at later ADPs.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Addison is the next test case in a recent string of highly productive, undersized wide receivers. He put up 3,134 yards in three seasons at Pitt and USC, including a 100-1,593-17 receiving line in 2021 at Pitt, but his draft stock fell after the 2023 combine when he ran a 4.49 40 at 5-11, 173. Eagles WR DeVonta Smith has been successful with a similar build, but his college production was on another level beyond even Addison's and he's shown unusual strength for someone so slim. Then there's Arizona's Marquise Brown, who is similarly thin and shorter but also much faster than Addison. The Vikings bit at 23rd overall, making Addison the fourth WR selected after none went in the first 19 picks. He probably has the best situation of any rookie, joining a roster on which K.J. Osborn previously projected as the No. 2 WR after Adam Thielen's offseason departure. With Osborn primarily playing the slot and valued for versatility more so than his ability to beat man coverage, Addison could immediately become the No. 2 receiver in an offense that gets solid QB play out of Kirk Cousins and has Justin Jefferson drawing coverages to his side. The downside is that Addison will never be the No. 1 option in an offense that has Jefferson.
