2024 RTSports Outlook

Addison had a very productive rookie season, finishing 23rd overall in fantasy receiver scoring. He was the top receiver for the Vikings many weeks because of an injury to Justin Jefferson. Addison was one of the top red-zone receivers in football, scoring 10 touchdowns. He also had 70 receptions for 911 yards. Addison had double-digit fantasy points 11 of 17 games, showing great consistent in year one. He will continue to play a big role in the Vikings passing game, starting alongside Justin Jefferson. Addison has top speed for the position and does well on short and deep routes. He gets in and out of his breaks in a hurry. Addison will struggle a little with the contested catch but drops weren't a big issue his rookie season, which was encouraging.

FANTASY OUTLOOK: Addison is more of a No. 3 fantasy receiver. He has some quarterback concerns this year and the return of Jefferson could limit his weekly ceiling a little. But even with that said, he can get around 80 receptions for 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns.

RotoBaller's Outlook

Jordan Addison became the fourth wide receiver to be selected during Round 1 of the 2023 NFL Draft (23rd overall) and justified Minnesota's decision during his promising rookie season. Addison's route-running acumen fueled his ability to perform proficiently at the NFL level despite the absence of optimal size or elite speed. Addison finished second among rookies in targets (108/6.4 per game), was third in receiving yards (911/53.6 per game), and tied for fourth among all receivers in touchdowns (10). Addison collected 52 targets (6.5 per game) and 36 receptions (4.5 per game) from Weeks 1-8 with Kirk Cousins spearheading the offense. He also soared to second in touchdowns (seven) and was 14th in points per game (15.8) before Cousins sustained a torn Achilles. Addison secured 56 targets (6.2 per game), 34 receptions (3.8 per game), and 429 yards (47.7 per game) with Nick Mullens, Joshua Dobbs, and Jaren Hall under center (Weeks 9-18), while dropping to 43rd in points per game (10.5). Addison benefits from Kevin O'Connell's play-calling and his role as the Vikings' WR2 remains intact. However, his prospects of replicating last year's WR3 production for fantasy managers depend on the play of Minnesota quarterbacks Sam Darnold and J.J. McCarthy. The uncertain timeline for McCarthy's development into an effective starter should incentivize you to wait until Round 7 before selecting Addison in best-ball leagues. The 22-year-old emerges as a more enticing option in dynasty startup drafts and can be targeted in Round 4.
