Jordan Addison Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Vikings WR Jordan Addison led the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. His 9-128 receiving line included the following market shares:

• 30% of targets
• 35% of receptions
• 41% of receiving yards

This marked Addison's second game of 114+ yards among three weeks since his return from suspension and his third straight with at least 4 receptions.

Vikings QB Carson Wentz will start this weekend’s game vs. the Eagles, HC Kevin O’Connell announced Friday. QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) was limited in practice this week but will be the emergency third QB for this game. It sounds like Minnesota wants him to get in a full week of practice before taking back over. Wentz is only in play in 2-QB and superflex fantasy leagues, but he’s been an upgrade for WR Justin Jefferson and the rest of the passing game.

Justin Jefferson caught 7 passes for 123 yards, and Jordan Addison scored his first TD of the season to lead the Vikings to a 21-17 come-from-behind win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The Victory gave Minnesota a split in their back-to-back international games after they dropped a 24-21 loss to Pittsburgh in Dublin, Ireland in Week 4.

Vikings WR Jordan Addison returned from suspension posting a 4-118-0 stat line on eight targets. An 81-yard catch by Addison on a broken fourth quarter play should have been a score, but he was run down by Steelers LB Payton Wilson. The biggest winner of Addison’s return was WR Justin Jefferson who went off for a 10-126-0 day on 11 targets. As the return of J.J. McCarthy approaches, the WR duo for the Vikings showed they can still carry the passing game.

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said after Sunday's win over the Bengals that QB Carson Wentz will start next weekend's game against the Steelers in Dublin. That's not a surprise after reports that QB J.J. McCarthy would miss 2-4 weeks with his high-ankle sprain.

After a week or so of rumors, the Panthers and Vikings have finally worked out a trade to send WR Adam Thielen back to Minnesota. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Vikings will get Thielen, a conditional seventh-round pick for 2026, and a fifth-round pick for 2027. The Panthers will get a 2026 fifth-rounder and a 2027 fourth-rounder.

Vikings’ WR Jalen Nailor hurt his hand and will undergo further evaluation, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Vikings WR Jordan Addison has been suspended for the first three games of the 2025 season for violating the league’s Substance Abuse Policy.

Vikings WR Jordan Addison has agreed to a plea deal as a result of his 2024 DUI arrest, his lawyer announced on Thursday. Addison is being charged with a "wet reckless" offense, which is a reduced charge in a DUI case that admits to reckless driving as a result of alcohol.

Vikings WR Jordan Addison's DUI trial has been set for July 15. That'll be almost exactly a year after Addison was found asleep behind the wheel on a freeway near LAX airport. The trial should wrap up before the start of the season. If found guilty, Addison would be facing a three-game suspension under the league's substance abuse policy.

The Vikings passing game got right with WR Jordan Addison catching eight of 12 targets for 133 yards and three TDs. WR Justin Jefferson also ended his six game streak without a TD catching all seven targets for 132 yards and two TDs.

Vikings WR Jordan Addison caught eight of nine targets for 162 yards and a TD while Justin Jefferson only caught two of five targets for 27 yards. Addison was the favored target for QB Sam Darnold who threw for 330 yards and two TDs.

With a focus on Vikings WR Justin Jefferson by the Jets defense in the second half, Jordan Addison became a target hog getting eight targets resulting in three catches for 36 yards.

Vikings WR Jordan Addison (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 4 injury report. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. Addison still carries some added risk coming off a multi-week ankle injury, but he lands in low-end WR3 territory in the Week 4 Rankings.

He sits in low-end WR3 territory in the Week 4 Rankings.
