Jordan Addison 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: Return to Fantasy Relevance Possible with Improved QB Play
Although Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison was not drafted nearly as early as Justin Jefferson in 2025 fantasy leagues, his managers were similarly impacted by the team's offensive struggles. Addison, who finished as a top-24 fantasy receiver in each of his first two seasons, averaged just over eight fantasy points per game while finishing as the WR44 across 14 contests last year, and scored just one touchdown with J.J. McCarthy at quarterback. The 24-year-old established himself as a legitimate red-zone threat during his first two NFL campaigns and could emerge as a strong bounce-back candidate if Kyler Murray is named the team's Week 1 starter. While the Vikings recently signed veteran receiver Jauan Jennings to a one-year deal, the former 49er is more likely to absorb the 53 targets vacated by Jalen Nailor's departure than threaten Addison's role as WR2. Fantasy managers should monitor Minnesota's quarterback situation closely this offseason while viewing Addison as a WR3 with significant upside.
