Jordan Addison
Addison is Minnesota's clear No. 2 receiver, coming off two seasons with a strong track record of end-zone production even through shaky quarterback play. Multiple shows note he's reportedly built early chemistry with the incoming Kyler Murray, and the market has priced that uncertainty into a WR44-48 range despite his volume history.
The Ringer, Yahoo's Josh & Hayden, and Establish The Run all argue Addison is being undervalued at ADP 102-109, framing him as a discount big-play No. 2 in the Calvin Ridley mold. Rotoworld backs that up by pointing to his offseason work with Murray as a reason for target-share optimism. The one real split comes on Fantasy Football Happy Hour, where Freedman fades him to WR48 over QB uncertainty and a tougher path to leading targets, while Berry counters with his end-zone track record; Fantasy Footballers add a minor caution that a newly added target could cut into his share.
The line: Draft Addison as a WR3 with WR2 upside near pick 100 — his touchdown history outweighs the quarterback question.
▲ Fantasy Life Show: With Justin Jefferson banged up/not practicing, Addison's role shifted to more in-breaking routes and targets; upgraded to low-end/borderline WR2 for weeks Jefferson sits, with a good matchup vs. Miami. listen ↗
▲ The Audible: If Jefferson sits, Addison projects as a firm WR2, even top-half, with WR1 upside as a big-play threat. listen ↗
▲ The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Worth starting regardless of Justin Jefferson's status; Miami allows the highest catch rate over expected and most yards per outroute to WRs. listen ↗
▲ Establish The Run Fantasy Football: Had 5 catches for 90 yards and a touchdown with a 31% target share last week and is viewed as an obvious start if Jefferson sits. listen ↗
▼ FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Erickson wants to sell high after a big game, viewing him as a boom/bust piece whose production won't be consistent even with Kyler. listen ↗
▲ Fantasy Football Today: Flagged as the top shallow-league add after stepping into a huge role (9 targets, TD) with Justin Jefferson out. listen ↗
▲ The Audible: Got a massive target bump with Jefferson out. listen ↗
▲ Dynasty Nerds Podcast | Dynasty Fantasy Football: Stepped into the WR1 role with Justin Jefferson out and looked explosive; hosts think Kyler Murray-Addison chemistry (once healthy) makes him a legit riser. listen ↗
▲ Fantasy Focus Football: Stepped up with 5 catches for 90 yards and a TD; poised for a bigger role if Jefferson sits. listen ↗

▲ The Audible: Took over as the top target with Jefferson out, posting 90 yards including a 41-yard TD; considered a WR2 with WR1 spike-week potential if Jefferson misses time. listen ↗
▲ Yahoo Fantasy Football with Josh & Hayden: Only two catches but both were explosive plays including a 41-yard touchdown; seen as the lone reliable option if Jefferson is out. listen ↗
▲ Dynasty Nerds Podcast | Dynasty Fantasy Football: Named as an appealing buy-low target in a hypothetical trade sending Rhamondre Stevenson and Dylan Sampson away, citing his upside as a WR2/3 despite a disappointing start. listen ↗
▼ Fantasy Life Show: Poor career production against single-high coverage, which Tampa Bay runs heavily; hosts recommend benching him despite route share. listen ↗
