Jordan Addison scores deep TD again

For the second straight week, Vikings WR Jordan Addison paid the fantasy bills with a long TD. It was a 39-yarder on busted coverage in Week 1. On Thursday night vs. the Eagles, Addison beat CB Josh Jobe on a deep route and then shook his tackle attempt for a 62-yard TD. The rookie has now tallied 133 yards and two TDs on seven catches and 11 targets through the first two games of the season. That's 19.0 yards per catch and 12.1 yards per target -- completely unsustainable numbers. Addison's volume should grow going forward, though. He continued to trail WR K.J. Osborn in snaps and routes tonight. But that shouldn't last much longer, especially after Osborn committed two ugly drops in the loss to the Eagles. Consider Addison a WR3 for now. He has the potential to flirt with WR2 value in this pass-heavy Vikings offense as soon as he becomes something close to an every-snap player.
