  • Inefficient with 10 targets Sunday

    Addison finished with five receptions on 10 targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Complete non-factor in loss

    Addison failed to bring in his only target in the Vikings' 23-6 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Addison's opportunities were part of the collateral damage of J.J. McCarthy's utterly forgettable afternoon, as he threw for just 87 yards and two interceptions. The speedy wideout was essentially ignored in the passing game, logging his lowest target total of the season. While it may be accurate to say there's nowhere to go but up for Addison in a Week 13 road battle against the Seahawks, the matchup is less than appealing on paper.

  • Quiet before last-minute TD

    Addison caught two of seven targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Addison was almost the hero after a quiet 59 minutes, as his 15-yard touchdown catch with 50 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter tied the game, and Minnesota took a 17-16 lead with the ensuing PAT. The Bears answered with a game-winning field goal to drop the Vikings to 4-6. Addison has caught just five of 18 targets from struggling quarterback J.J. McCarthy in Minnesota's last two games ahead of a Week 12 road game against the Packers.

  • Poor showing on 11 targets

    Addison recorded three receptions on 11 targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Addison earned double-digit targets for the second time this season, though he struggled to get on the same page with J.J. McCarthy. Addison has now been held under 50 receiving yards in four of six games this season, including both with McCarthy. He's likely to be a boom-or-bust receiver moving forward, with Week 11 presenting an exploitable matchup against the Bears.

  • Limited in Week 9 win

    Addison brought in two of four targets for 48 yards and rushed once for 16 yards in the Vikings' 27-24 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Addison's yardage total, modest as it was, led the Vikings on the afternoon, and he also made good use on his one rush attempt. The third-year wideout exceeded the 100-yard mark in two of his first three games after starting his season in Week 4 due to a suspension, but he's posted a modest 5-74-1 receiving line on eight targets over the last pair of contests. Sunday marked the first opportunity J.J. McCarthy and Addison had to work together in a regular-season setting, so the duo should…read more

  • Finds end zone in loss

    Addison secured three of four targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 37-10 loss to the Chargers on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The Vikings' offense had a mostly forgettable performance as the final score indicates, but Addison still found a way to continue making an impact by recording a four-yard touchdown catch with just under five minutes remaining in the third quarter. Addison has scored twice over his first four games after the delayed start to his season, and he's likely to have his first regular-season opportunity to work with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) as his quarterback in a Week 9 road matchup against the Lions…read more

  • Season-best showing in loss

    Addison brought in nine of 12 targets for 128 yards in the Vikings' 28-22 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: Addison led the Vikings across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets with figures that also all qualified as season highs. The third-year pro's longest catch went for 34 yards, so he consistently was able to record significant gains during the high-scoring, back-and-forth affair. Addison has displayed excellent chemistry with fill-in quarterback Carson Wentz after the wide receiver's suspension-delayed start to the season, and he's likely to continue working with him in a…read more

  • Atones for early-game benching

    Addison secured five of six targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 21-17 win over the Browns in London on Sunday.

    Analysis: Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reported Addison was subject to a first-quarter benching for undisclosed reasons, but the third-year wideout ultimately would make up for lost time in clutch fashion. Addison was efficient with his opportunities, and the bulk of those came at the tail end of the Vikings' game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter. Addison was on the receiving end of each of Carson Wentz's final three completions and totaled 21 yards on those catches, the last which was a go-ahead…read more

  • Makes splash in season debut

    Addison caught four of eight targets for 114 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Steelers in Dublin.

    Analysis: Seeing his first action of the season after serving a three-game suspension, Addison had a quiet first half but then turned busted coverage into an 81-yard gain late in the fourth quarter that set up a Jalen Nailor TD reception, as the Vikings tried to rally from a 21-6 deficit. Addison figures to be productive again in Week 5, facing a Browns defense in London that has been far more vulnerable through the air than on the ground to begin the year.

  • Suspension lifted

    Addison's suspension has been lifted by the NFL, which paves the way for the wideout to be available for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Addison was suspended for the first three games of the 2025 regular season for violating the league's Substances of Abuse Policy, but the 2023 first-rounder is now poised to return to action this weekend against the Steelers. The wideout thus is on track to resume practicing this week and should have an immediate opportunity to reclaim his key role in a Minnesota WR corps led by Justin Jefferson. Addison's looming return figures to impact the fantasy upside of Jalen Nailor and Adam Thielen but…read more

  • No notable injury

    Addison (suspension) did not sustain a significant injury upon departing Wednesday's practice early and will have no limitations going forward, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Addison appeared to hurt his hand or arm Wednesday, resulting in him spending the rest of practice off the field as an observer. That he's avoided any sort of serious issue is an especially positive development considering that both Justin Jefferson (hamstring) and Jalen Nailor (hand) currently are nursing injuries of their own. Jefferson, at least, returned to practice Monday and has begun ramping up his activity level with the goal of being fully healthy for Week 1 against the Bears on…read more

  • Leaves practice early

    Addison left Wednesday's practice early with a potential hand/arm injury, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: He remained on the practice field as an observer, which is generally indicative of a minor injury. The larger concern for Addison's fantasy value is a three-game suspension to start the season, and it's become a bigger problem for the Vikings now that Justin Jefferson (hamstring) and Jalen Nailor (hand) have been missing practice. Jefferson, at least, seems to be moving in the right direction and gearing up to play Week 1.

  • Hauls in three passes Saturday

    Addison (suspension) caught three of four targets for 33 yards in Saturday's 20-10 preseason win over the Texans.

    Analysis: The third-year wideout was the top downfield option for J.J. McCarthy on Minnesota's opening drive, before both players checked out of the contest. Addison is facing a three-game suspension to begin the regular season (he's allowed to play in the preseason), but the chemistry he's establishing with McCarthy now should serve him well when he's eligible to make his 2025 debut in Week 4 against the Steelers. Addison hauled in 63 passes for 875 yards and nine TDs over 15 regular-season contests…read more

  • Receives three-game suspension

    The NFL announced Tuesday that Addison has been suspended the first three games of the 2025 regular season for violating the league's Substances of Abuse Policy, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Addison's suspension relates to a 2024 DUI citation which he resolved legally in July, receiving a fine and probation. The third-year pro now will need to wait until Week 4 against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 28 to make his regular-season debut, though he'll remain eligible to participate in training camp and preseason contests. Addison's position in 2025 fantasy drafts figures to take a hit with his suspension official, though the three-game penalty is in line with the NFL's general response…read more

  • Gets fine and probation in DUI case

    Addison, who had a trial for his 2024 DUI citation Tuesday in a Superior Court of California, pleaded to a lesser offense and will pay a fine and be on probation according to his representation, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: With Addison's court case now complete, the NFL likely will weigh in soon on a possible suspension. Even though he pleaded to a lesser charge, he still could face discipline since the NFL's substance-abuse policy has a baseline punishment for a first-time DUI offense of a three-game suspension.

  • Beginning jury trial

    Addison's jury trial stemming from a 2024 DUI citation begins Tuesday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Adam Schefter of ESPN notes that a three-game suspension would be in line with NFL precedent in the event Addison is convicted. The league can apply a lower standard than criminal courts, which means even if he isn't convicted, he may not avoid NFL punishment. For the time being, Addison's availability for the start of the regular season is up in the air.

  • DUI trial set for July

    Addison's jury trial for a DUI citation will commence on July 15 after a June 16 hearing to set the Superior Court of California schedule, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports. Addison pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence after authorities found him asleep behind the wheel of a car on a Los Angeles freeway on July 12, 2024, according to CBS Minnesota.

    Analysis: Addison could face discipline from the NFL if he's found guilty, as the NFL's substance-abuse policy has a baseline punishment for a first-time DUI offense of a three-game suspension, Pro Football Talk reports. It's possible Addison's punishment from the NFL will be lengthier if he's found guilty should the league also take into account that he pleaded guilty to a 2023 misdemeanor speeding charge after being cited for driving 140 miles per hour in Minnesota. It sounds like a verdict in the DUI…read more

  • Held quiet in wild-card loss

    Addison recorded three catches for 29 yards on eight targets in Monday's 27-9 wild-card loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Though he and the Vikings went out of the playoffs with a whimper, Addison turned in a strong sophomore campaign. He finished the regular season with 63 catches on 99 targets for 875 yards and nine touchdowns while adding three carries for 20 yards and an additional score. On a per-game basis, Addison's production was nearly identical in comparison to his rookie season -- he played in two fewer games in 2024 and finished with seven fewer catches, 36 fewer yards and one less receiving touchdown.…read more

  • Nets zero yards on six targets

    Addison caught one of six targets for no gain in Sunday's 31-9 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Minnesota's entire receiving corps had awful catch rates on a national stage, as Sam Darnold turned in his worst performance in a Minnesota uniform. Addison's horrid showing stands out after he failed to gain any yards while bringing in just 16 percent of his targets. It was an otherwise solid season from the budding sophomore, who provided fantasy managers with 63 receptions for 875 yards and 10 total touchdowns across 15 games. Addison and the No. 5 seed Vikings will regroup and travel to the…read more

  • Impressive touchdown grab

    Addison recorded six receptions on eight targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Packers.

    Analysis: Addison continued to play a key complementary role to Justin Jefferson in the offense, with this performance marking his fourth straight game with at least eight targets -- a mark he hit only three times across his first 10 contests of the campaign. He made the most of the looks, first catching a pair of key passes that each went for 13 yards to set up Minnesota's first score of the game. Addison then made a trip of his own to the end zone on a nice diving catch from 13 yards away on the team's…read more

  • Snags eighth TD on Sunday

    Addison had five receptions on eight targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over Seattle.

    Analysis: Addison's fantasy performance was overshadowed by Justin Jefferson's massive 10-144-2 receiving line Sunday, but the former still produced worthwhile numbers for all intents and purposes. The 22-year-old Addison upped his cumulative production to 56-806-8 in 13 games played this season, providing a solid No. 2 option for quarterback Sam Darnold in Minnesota's potent offense. Addison should be in the starting conversation in most fantasy formats ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Green Bay.

  • Co-leads team in catches

    Addison secured seven of nine targets for 63 yards in the Vikings' 30-12 win over the Bears on Monday night.

    Analysis: Addison tied Justin Jefferson for the team lead in receptions on the night while checking in second behind his teammate in both receiving yards and targets. The talented second-year wideout got off to a hot start, as four of his catches came during two first-half possessions. Addison has logged 21 targets over his last two games and parlayed them into 196 receiving yards heading into a Week 16 road battle against the Seahawks where he should be busy once again.

  • Career-high TD total in win

    Addison secured eight of 12 targets for 133 yards and three touchdowns in the Vikings' 42-21 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Addison led the Vikings across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, narrowly edging Justin Jefferson by one in the first two categories. The second-year wideout's season had been considered largely disappointing until three games ago, when Addison turned in an 8-162-1 line against the Bears at Soldier Field. Sunday's performance saw Addison establish a new single-game career high in touchdown catches with scoring receptions of 49, 11 and six yards, and it also featured a…read more

    Addison caught four of six targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The second-year wideout did most of his damage early as Justin Jefferson faced his usual double and triple teams, but by the end of the day Addison was comfortably second on the Vikings in catches and receiving yards. Addison has seen at least five targets in five straight games, posting a 22-344-3 line on 33 targets over that stretch, and he'll look to stay productive in Week 14 against the Falcons.

He did the majority of his damage on receptions of 69 and 45 yards, and he showed impressive balance for a long run after the catch down the sideline on the former play. Addison also found the end zone for the second consecutive game on a two-yard catch early in the second quarter. While Justin Jefferson will remain the top priority in the…read more

  • Past cramping from Sunday

    Addison (leg) wasn't listed on the Vikings' initial Week 12 injury report posted Wednesday.

    Analysis: 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 rear-view mirror, Addison is good to go ahead of Sunday's game at Chicago.

  • Fails to return due to leg cramping

    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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Dealing with cramps

    Addison is questionable to return to Sunday's game at Tennessee due to cramps, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Held quiet in win

    Addison recorded two receptions on five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Nabs TD on SNF

    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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Another disappointing effort

    Addison brought in two of three targets for 22 yards in the Vikings' 30-20 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Three grabs in loss

    Addison brought in three of four targets for 66 yards in the Vikings' 31-29 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: 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.

    Addison recorded three receptions on eight targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: Making his return from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury, Addison wasted no time making an impact with a 29-yard touchdown grab to cap off the opening possession of the contest. He then stung the Packers defense on the ground, notching a seven-yard touchdown early in the second quarter.

  • Cleared for Week 4 return

    Addison (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Green Bay, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Addison will be active for the first time since suffering an ankle sprain in the third quarter of a Week 1 win over the Giants. His return will either push Jalen Nailor out of the regular rotation or bump Nailor down to the No. 3 role, with the latter scenario entailing a demotion for Brandon Powell. Either way, Minnesota's offense figures to be highly concentrated toward Addison, Justin Jefferson and RB Aaron Jones.

    Analysis: 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 head coach Kevin O'Connell said he expects Addison (ankle) to be listed as at least a partial participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: According to Seifert, O'Connell is hopeful that Addison will put an end to his two-game absence in this Sunday's game against the Packers. The second-year wideout is expected to be listed as a limited participant upon the release of Wednesday's injury report, which would represent an upgrade after he failed to practice in any capacity since suffering the injury in the Week 1 win over the Giants.

  • Optimism regarding Week 4 status

    Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he's "optimistic" Addison (ankle) will be available to play Sunday in Green Bay, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: While O'Connell's comments offer some encouragement, Addison's practice activity during the upcoming week will provide a clearer signal whether or not the receiver has a chance of suiting up against the Packers. Addison missed both of the Vikings' last two games after spraining his right ankle in the season-opening win over the Giants, and he has yet to take any practice reps since sustaining the injury.

    Analysis: 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.

    Addison (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: Addison has yet to practice since hurting his right ankle Week 1, likely meaning he'll have to log at least a limited session Friday to give him a chance to return to action Sunday versus the Texans. Meanwhile, fellow wide receiver Justin Jefferson (quadriceps) was limited for a second day in a row, at least providing him more legitimate odds to be active Week 3. Friday's injury report should be telling for the statuses of both Addison and Jefferson heading into the weekend.

  • Missing out on another practice

    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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Misses practice

    Addison (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he was hoping to have Addison back for Week 3 against Houston after the wideout missed Sunday's win over the 49ers with an ankle sprain suffered Week 1. While the practice absence isn't ideal, O'Connell said Wednesday that Addison is "still in that day-to-day world" and getting treatment on his injured ankle, per Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

  • Could return to action Week 3

    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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Won't play this week

    Addison (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: With Addison out due to soreness in his right ankle, Brandon Powell and Jalen Nailor are candidates to see added work behind Justin Jefferson in Week 2. Addison's next chance to play will arrive Sunday, Sept. 22 against the Texans.

  • Not looking good for Week 2

    Addison (ankle) isn't practicing Friday and thus seems unlikely to play Sunday against the 49ers, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Missing from Thursday's practice

    Addison (ankle) wasn't spotted on the field at Thursday's practice, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: 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 head coach Kevin O'Connell said Addison (ankle) won't take part in Wednesday's practice, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Instead, Addison will focus on treatment of his right ankle to begin Week 2 prep after injuring it during this past Sunday's win at the Giants. O'Connell told Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press on Monday that he was "hopeful" Addison will be able to play Sunday against the 49ers, but the receiver may have to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday in order for the Vikings to feel comfortable making him active.

    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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Ankle injury not thought to be serious

    Addison will undergo tests on his injured right ankle Monday, but the issue isn't thought to be a serious one, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Addison tended to a left high-ankle sprain last month that kept him off the practice field until Sept. 2, and he eventually avoided a designation for the Vikings' Week 1 road matchup with the Giants. However, he exited Sunday's eventual win in the third quarter and didn't return due to an injury to his other ankle. If Rapoport's report proves to be true, Addison may miss little, if any, time, but the aforementioned testing ultimately will determine if an absence is possible.

  • Injures right ankle Sunday

    Coach Kevin O'Connell relayed after Sunday's win over the Giants that Addison injured his right ankle in Week 1, rather than his left one, which he hurt last month, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Per Seifert, Addison will be evaluated again once the team returns to Minnesota. Meanwhile, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune adds that O'Connell said that he hoped the wideout's current ankle issue is a short-term situation. Either way, Addison's status is worth tracking ahead of next Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Addison won't return to Sunday's game at the Giants due to an ankle injury, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Addison went to the locker room in the third quarter with members of the Vikings' training staff and was ruled out shortly thereafter. He'll thus end Week 1 with three catches (on four targets) for 35 yards. Further clarity on Addison's status may be relayed by coach Kevin O'Connell after Sunday's contest.

  • No injury designation

    Addison (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at the Giants.

    Analysis: Addison and fellow wideout Jalen Nailor (ankle) both upgraded to full practice participation Friday after being limited the previous two days. The Vikings enter Week 1 with their full complement of wide receivers, although it is possible Addison plays a few less snaps than usual or isn't at his best, considering he suffered a high-ankle sprain Aug. 14 and just returned to practice this Monday.

    Analysis: Addison said Thursday that he'll play in Sunday's game against the Giants and anticipates being at "100 percent" strength. He was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, after suffering a high-ankle sprain Aug. 14 and missing more than two weeks of practice.

    Addison (ankle) says he will play Sunday at the Giants even though he was limited in practice Thursday. "Physically, I'm feeling great," Addison told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "I'm going to be 100 percent on Sunday and y'all are going to see."

    Analysis: Addison revealed he suffered a high ankle sprain in practice Aug. 14, which is a little worrisome since the injury may have been worse than first thought. However, head coach Kevin O'Connell also said he was confident Addison will play. Addison will need to make it through another practice Friday before fantasy managers can feel confident he'll get a full workload Sunday.

Prior to Wednesday's session, head coach Kevin O'Connell expressed optimism to Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune that the second-year wide receiver should log a full session by week's end.

    Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Addison (ankle) is in a "good spot" and should be a full practice participant by the end of the week, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Addison was limited at Monday's practice, and he has be listed as limited again when the Vikings release their first official Week 1 injury report later Wednesday. He sprained his ankle during practice Aug. 14, which means he'll be 25 days removed from the initial injury when the Vikings face the Giants this Sunday. O'Connell apparently is optimistic about Addison's odds of playing, but fantasy managers should still have a backup plan in place.

Nonetheless, it's encouraging to see the second-year wideout handling reps again for the first time since he was carted off the field Aug. 14.

    Analysis: O'Connell noted that he doesn't envision Addison missing extended time, though the second-year wideout looks likely to sit out Saturday's exhibition contest against Cleveland. Addison could be a candidate to return in time for the Vikings' preseason finale at Philadelphia on Aug. 24, though it'll depend on how quickly he gets back on the practice field.

    Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Addison, who was carted off the field Wednesday with an ankle injury, isn't dealing with a serious concern but won't practice Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Addison will undergo further tests on his ankle, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic, but the belief is that the second-year wideout will be back on the field in short order. Even if Addison has avoided a major injury, he'll likely be held out of Saturday's preseason game against the Browns. With rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy (knee) having undergone season-ending surgery Wednesday, Addison looks set to catch passes from Sam Darnold to begin the regular season.

  • Oct. 7 hearing scheduled

    Analysis: Per Seifert, as a result of the July incident, Addison was charged with two misdemeanors -- driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with .08 percent blood alcohol content. The report adds that the wideout could potentially face an NFL suspension once his legal proceedings are complete. As the coming season approaches, Addison is slated to work as the Vikings' No. 2 wide receiver behind top option Justin Jefferson. As a rookie, Addison, a 2023 first-rounder, recorded 70 catches (on…read more

  • Spoke about July arrest

    Addison, who was arrested July 12 in Los Angeles on suspicion of driving under the influence, said Wednesday that he is ready to face any discipline. "Whatever's out there for me," he said, "whatever comes with it, I'll own up to everything. I feel like anything that comes my way is meant to happen or is deserved," he told ESPN. However, no charges in the incident have been filed as of last week.

    Analysis: Last summer, Addison pled guilty to a misdemeanor speeding charge after being cited for driving 140 miles per hour in Minnesota. The pattern of behavior could lead the NFL to discipline Addison, but the timing of any possible suspension remains in doubt. The NFL will likely let the legal process play out, which could stretch into the regular season. Addison's remarks, however, make it seem like he anticipates some kind of punishment from either the NFL or the legal system.

Addison seems to have enjoyed a healthy offseason program, whereas last year he missed spring practices with an unspecified injury after the Vikings drafted him 23rd overall.

    Analysis: Addison and fellow wideout Justin Jefferson both played 93 percent of the Vikings' offensive snaps Sunday and dominated the overall target share among Minnesota pass catchers. Throughout his rookie season, Addison showed that he can be a key playmaker in the Minnesota passing attack alongside Jefferson and tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) heading into 2024. While playing in all 17 games in 2023, Addison finished with 70 receptions for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns.

    Analysis: Per Rapoport, added context regarding Addison's status should arrive once the wideout undergoes further tests Monday. Prior to his exit from Sunday's contest, the wideout played 21 of 55 snaps on offense, catching one of his four targets for two yards. If Addison is forced to miss this weekend's contest against the Packers, both K.J. Osborn and Brandon Powell would be in store for expanded reps behind No. 1 wideout Justin Jefferson.

    Addison caught six passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns on six targets in the 27-24 overtime loss to the Bengals on Saturday.

    Analysis: It was an improbable resurgence from Addison, as the rookie seemed likely to fall to the margins, as Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson were expected to claim the majority of Vikings' targets. Addison's talent was obvious early in his rookie year, but he had predictably struggled somewhat after the season-ending injury to Kirk Cousins.

  • Modest production with six catches

    Addison secured six of 10 targets for 39 yards in the Vikings' 12-10 loss to the Bears on Monday.

    Analysis: Addison led the Vikings in receptions and targets but finished third in receiving yards. Outside of his 14-yard grab, Addison averaged only 5.0 yards per reception, leading to his lowest tally in that category since his first encounter with the Bears back in Week 6. Justin Jefferson (hamstring) should have a good chance of returning to action for Minnesota's Week 14 road matchup against the Raiders following a Week 13 bye, so Addison could well see a downturn in targets beginning with that game.

  • Limited to three catches in loss

    Addison secured three of six targets for 44 yards in the Vikings' 21-20 loss to the Broncos on Sunday night.

    Analysis: Addison finished third in receiving yards despite checking in second in targets for the Vikings on the night, as he took a rare back seat to multiple pass catchers in a game that was played with Justin Jefferson (hamstring) still unavailable. Addison's catch and yardage tallies were his lowest over the last five games, and with Jefferson potentially set to return for a Week 12 Monday night clash against the Bears on Nov. 27, Addison could soon officially slot back into a No. 2 role.

  • Held back by game script

    Addison recorded four receptions on seven targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: The entirety of Addison's production came in the first half, as the Vikings jumped out to a 24-3 lead and were conservative in the final two quarters. While he was overshadowed by T.J. Hockenson, Addison earned at least seven targets and topped 50 yards for the fourth consecutive game. He's retained volume in two games without Kirk Cousins (Achilles), but the impending return of Justin Jefferson (hamstring) will change the dynamic of the offense.

  • Touchdown streak ends

    Addison recorded five receptions on seven targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Addison struggled to get going with either Joshua Dobbs or Jaren Hall (concussion) under center. He did make timely catches, including a 13-yard catch just before halftime to set up a touchdown for the Vikings as well as a 24-yard reception to get into Falcons territory on the game-winning touchdown drive. Addison's streak of four consecutive contests finding the end zone came to a close, but he'll maintain a significant role in the offense -- particularly as long as Justin Jefferson…read more

  • Finds end zone again Sunday

    Addison caught seven of eight targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Packers.

    Analysis: The rookie wideout caught a 20-yard strike from Kirk Cousins (Achilles) in the third quarter for the Vikings' final points of the afternoon, extending his TD streak to four games and giving Addison seven touchdowns in his first eight NFL games. Unfortunately for the Vikings' passing game, Cousins' day ended early with what's feared to be a torn Achilles that would cost the QB the rest of the season. If that's the case, Addison will likely be catching passes from fellow rookie Jaren Hall in Week…read more

  • Career-best effort in upset win

    Addison brought in seven of 10 targets for 123 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings' 22-17 win over the 49ers on Monday night.

    Analysis: The rookie paced the Vikings in receiving yards on a night where he was forced to exit the game for a time with cramping. Addison scored from 20 and 60 yards out in the first and second quarters, respectively, pushing his season touchdown total to six. The fleet-footed USC product's night also served as his first 100-yard effort as a pro, raising expectations ahead of a Week 8 road matchup against the Packers that will once again see Addison take the field without Justin Jefferson (hamstring,…read more

  • Returns to game

    Addison (cramps) has returned to Monday's matchup with the 49ers, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Addison briefly left the game and headed to the locker room after experiencing cramps. Barring any setbacks, he should take on his usual role at receiver and look to build on an already big game.

    Addison is questionable to return to Monday's contest against the 49ers due to cramps, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Addison headed to the locker room near the end of the third quarter after experiencing cramps. Prior to that, he was experiencing a career game with 110 yards and two touchdowns on six receptions. It remains to be seen if he will be able to return Monday.

  • Three catches without Jefferson

    Addison secured three of five targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 19-13 win over the Bears on Sunday.

    Analysis: Addison served as the de facto No. 1 receiver in Justin Jefferson's (IR-hamstring) absence, but he made much less of an impact than what fantasy managers might have expected coming in. Nevertheless, Addison finished tied with K.J. Osborn for the team lead in targets among wide receivers, and his 10-yard touchdown grab with 12 seconds remaining in the first half made it a serviceable fantasy day overall. Addison has now scored in back-to-back games and in four of his first six career contests…read more

  • Cleared for Week 6 game

    Addison (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: Addison's practice reps were managed Wednesday and Thursday, but his full session Friday clears the way for him to enter the Vikings' Week 6 matchup with no restrictions. The rookie first-round pick had already played north of 70 percent of the snaps on offense in three of the team's first five games, but his playing time and target volume should tick up further Sunday after star wideout Justin Jefferson (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve earlier this week. With Jefferson set to miss at…read more

    Addison (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: The rookie wideout had his practice reps capped for the second day in a row on account of an ankle issue, but if he's able to upgrade to full participation Friday, it would likely clear up any concern fantasy managers have about his availability for Sunday's game against the Bears. Assuming Addison is cleared to suit up this weekend, he could be in line for a pronounced role in the Minnesota passing attack along with tight end T.J. Hockenson and fellow wideouts K.J.

  • Tending to ankle issue

    Addison was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Vikings are already down top wide receiver Justin Jefferson due to a hamstring injury that isn't believed to be season-ending. However, Jefferson's placement on injured reserve Wednesday opens the door for Addison to step into a major role in the offense. Those plans have taken a slight hit with Addison's appearance on the first injury report of Week 6, but he at least has two more chances to prove his health before Minnesota potentially clears him ahead of Sunday's game in Chicago.

  • Chance to step in as No. 1 wideout

    Addison could see additional targets and snaps over Minnesota's next four games after No. 1 receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

    Analysis: Addison and K.J. Osborn are likely to see more looks than usual while Jefferson -- who averaged 10.6 targets per game through the first five weeks of the season -- recovers from his hamstring injury. The rookie already has been a strong contributor to Minnesota's offense with more than 50 yards in four of his first five games to go along with three touchdowns, though he also had a game with no catches Week 4 at Carolina (when Kirk Cousins attempted only 19 passes). Jefferson will miss his first…read more

  • Bounces back with strong showing

    Addison caught six of nine targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: After failing to catch a pass last week against the Panthers, Addison bounced back and led the Vikings in receptions and yardage while grabbing his third TD in five NFL games on a five-yard toss from Kirk Cousins late in the second quarter. The rookie wideout emerged as Cousins' most reliable option in the fourth quarter while Justin Jefferson was sidelined with a hamstring injury, and if Jefferson isn't ready to return in Week 6 against the Bears, Addison could be in line for a big performance.

  • Invisible in win

    Addison was not targeted in Sunday's 21-13 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Addison's goose egg came while quarterback Kirk Cousins managed just 139 passing yards and threw two interceptions, including one that was returned 99 yards for a touchdown. Besides star wideout Justin Jefferson, no Minnesota player caught more than two passes, so Addison wasn't alone in his Week 4 struggles. With a matchup against the high-powered Chiefs next Sunday, Addison could be featured more in order for the Vikings to keep pace.

  • Overshadowed in loss

    Addison recorded six receptions on eight targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Addison had only one target and no receptions in the first half despite Kirk Cousins taking to the air 20 times. That changed in the second half, as he took on an expanded role while working primarily in short areas of the field. While it wasn't his biggest statistical performance of the season, Addison garnered a season-best eight targets and should continue to see his role in the offense grow.

  • Scores again in Week 2 loss

    Addison secured three of five targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 34-28 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night.

Addison has wasted no time flashing his big-play ability, already having leveraged seven catches into 133 yards through his first pair of contests. While Justin Jefferson and T.J.

  • Could get more snaps in future

    Vikings offensive coordinator Wes Phillips said this week that he thinks Addison's role will expand as the season progresses, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: The rookie first-round pick debuted as Minnesota's No. 3 receiver in a 20-17 loss to Tampa Bay, playing 56 percent of snaps while Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn both were above 90 percent. The workload was enough for Addison to have a productive day, as he ran 35 routes and caught four of six targets for 61 yards and a touchdown. Osborn had the same number of targets and a mere 3-31-0 receiving line on 43 routes, but it's nonetheless possible that scheme familiarity and blocking capability…read more

  • Out of concussion protocol

    Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Addison cleared the concussion protocol, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: In his return to team drills at Wednesday's joint practice with the Cardinals, Addison mixed in with the Vikings' No. 1 offense in three-receiver sets and even made a nice touchdown catch in traffic, per Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. After spending exactly one week in the concussion protocol, Addison appears to be good to go moving forward, but it's unclear if he'll see action in Minnesota's preseason finale Saturday against Arizona.

  • Practicing in no-contact jersey

    Addison (concussion) is at Monday's practice in a no-contact jersey, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It's a step forward after coach Kevin O'Connell revealed last Wednesday that Addison had entered concussion protocol. The rookie is still in the protocol but at least has made enough progress to participate in a light practice. Addison caught one pass for 22 yards in Minnesota's preseason opener, and regardless of whether or not that ends up being his final appearance in August, he's well on his way to playing Week 1 at Tampa Bay (Sept. 10).

  • In concussion protocol

    Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Wednesday that Addison is in the concussion protocol, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Addison is experiencing some minor concussion symptoms following a fall during a two-minute drill earlier this week and will be sidelined until at least Monday. As a result, he looks set to miss Saturday's preseason contest against the Titans, giving him just one more chance to see game action before the Vikings' Sept. 10 season opener versus the Buccaneers. In the meantime, K.J. Osborn and Jalen Reagor should get extra first-team reps during Addison's absence.

  • One catch in NFL debut

    Addison caught one of three targets for 22 yards in Thursday's 24-13 preseason loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Addison nearly secured a nice gain with a toe drag along the sideline in the first quarter, but the play was ruled out of bounds. His first NFL catch came on the first play of the second quarter and resulted in a 22-yard gain. Despite this modest stat line in his NFL debut, the 2023 first-round pick projects to play a prominent role in his rookie season. After seeing limited action Thursday, Addison may get more usage in Minnesota's second preseason game, Aug. 19 against Tennessee.

    Analysis: It's not clear how many snaps he'll play, but the 2023 first-rounder will get his first game action as a professional. K.J. Osborn is listed as the No. 2 wide receiver ahead of Addison on Minnesota's first unofficial depth chart of the preseason. However, Addison has looked sharp in camp so far with good chemistry with quarterback Kirk Cousins, so he's still the favorite to emerge as the team's No. 2 wide receiver with a significant role.

  • Not starter on preseason depth chart

    K.J. Osborn is listed as the No. 2 wide receiver ahead of Addison on Minnesota's first unofficial depth chart of the preseason. Osborn may get more snaps this season as the team's "F" receiver as he'll frequently be used as a blocker, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Osborn may also be listed ahead of Addison to begin the preseason as the team may give deference to the veteran. It's also possible Osborn plays more snaps on offense this year, but Addison gets more targets. Addison has looked sharp in camp so far with good chemistry with quarterback Kirk Cousins, so we wouldn't be too worried about this early preseason listing. Still, Addison's ability to be used in run blocking could be something to watch to ensure he gets more playing time.

    Addison (undisclosed) was cited Thursday for driving 140 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Speeding tickets don't usually lead to league discipline, but this one will get the NFL's attention and might eventually lead to a fine and/or a short suspension. The 23rd overall pick in this year's draft was cited around 3:00 a.m. CT on Thursday for speeding and reckless driving, three days before rookies report to Vikings training camp. Addison isn't off to the best start in the NFL, first missing spring practices with an undisclosed injury and now dealing with a legal problem.

Addison was at least in attendance Tuesday but only as a spectator. Perhaps he'll be cleared for mandatory minicamp next month.
