Vikings WR Jordan Addison left the field on a cart Wednesday after suffering an apparent leg injury, according to Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. It's too early to know the specifics of Addison's injury, but Kevin O’Connell doesn’t believe it is serious. And leaving on a cart doesn't necessarily indicate something serious. Addison reportedly made it off the field before riding the cart.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

We'll see about the potential impact here once we know more about Addison's injury.

If he winds up missing any time -- especially in concert with any missed early games for TE T.J. Hockenson -- then WR Justin Jefferson would be a strong bet to lead the league in target share over that time.

WR3 Jalen Nailor would be more interesting for deep leagues as well.

We'll watch for more as this situation develops.
