Matthew Freedman told managers to hold Jordan Addison after a 6.2-spot fall to 91.0 Guillotine ADP. Addison will miss the first three games, and any dip in passing efficiency with new quarterback J.J. McCarthy concerns Freedman, but 1,808 yards and 20 touchdowns through two seasons prove Addison remains an automatic starter once active.

Ben Gretch called Jordan Addison the single most undervalued wide receiver in fantasy right now. Gretch rattled off the resume: three-year early declare, Biletnikoff winner at 19, double-digit touchdowns in each of his first two pro seasons, and he still won’t turn 23 until mid-season. In Minnesota’s first preseason series Addison caught the first three J.J. McCarthy passes, convincing Gretch that if Justin Jefferson ever misses time Addison immediately steps into an alpha role. He likened the contingent ceiling to Tee Higgins or George Pickens but noted Addison is two rounds cheaper in current drafts. Critics harp on a modest yards-per-route-run, but Gretch argued that metric ignores age context and the target siphon Jefferson creates. Even with a possible (still-uncertain) league suspension hanging over him, Gretch believes Addison’s blend of early production, speed, and touchdown prowess makes him a smash eighth-round pick in best-ball builds.

Shawn Siegele said Jordan Addison should be drafted ahead of similarly-priced receivers such as Chris Olave in FFPC best-ball formats. Siegele argued Addison’s contingent ceiling is enormous because, at age 23, he already profiles as a future No. 1 and would immediately inherit that role if Justin Jefferson misses time. In preseason Week 1, Jefferson sat and Addison caught passes on the Vikings’ first three plays, two of them for first downs, demonstrating he can command volume right away. Addison also solves a playoff-week roster-construction issue created by Malik Nabers and Tetairoa McMillan sharing a Week 14 bye; taking Addison gives the roster a potential WR1 who is available during the critical Weeks 13-14 advance round. In a sprint-style tournament where you must win both weeks to reach the money, Siegele prefers Addison’s week-winning upside to Olave’s floor in a shakier offense.

Ben Gretch said he is drafting Jordan Addison everywhere after watching the first preseason drive in which J.J. McCarthy hit Addison for three effortless completions, including one throw behind him and another low that Addison cleanly scooped. Gretch argued the sophomore’s sticky hands plus Minnesota’s upgraded offensive line (Brandon Thorne’s ‘most-improved’ unit) and the attention Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson command will force secondaries into single coverage, setting Addison up for an early-season target spike that beats his current mid-round ADP in both best-ball and season-long formats.

Jason Moore advised passing on Jordan Addison at his eighth-round ADP. Addison will miss the first three games, and Moore does not see a ceiling that justifies stashing him. Unlike last season’s Rashee Rice, who had a plausible path to becoming Patrick Mahomes’ top target and flirting with 1,500 yards and 8-10 touchdowns, Moore believes Addison maxes out as a "solid WR2." Eating three weeks of zeros for that level of production is unnecessary when comparable WR2 options are available for Week 1 usage.

Andy Holloway pushed back on drafting Jordan Addison in the same range as Rice. Addison’s three-game ban means managers would be spending a valuable bench spot on a player whose realistic ceiling is a solid WR2 once he returns, not a weekly league-winner. Unlike Rice, Addison does not project to become his quarterback’s first read—Justin Jefferson still commands that role—so Holloway prefers wideouts who will be active in Week 1 and can match Addison’s median outcome without the early-season roster squeeze.

Comparing preseason usage, Siegele argued Jordan Addison should be drafted much closer to Rashee Rice. Addison was "open at will" and peppered with targets from J.J. McCarthy while Justin Jefferson rested, echoing the stretch last year when Addison dominated after Jefferson’s injury. Rice meanwhile could face an undefined suspension yet costs far more. Siegele called that spread "indefensible," noting Addison’s route-running and separation suggest genuine top-10 NFL wideout upside. He recommends pivoting to Addison whenever Rice, Jerry Jeudy or similar receivers come off the board, especially in wide-receiver-heavy builds.

Ben Gretch acknowledged that FFPC leagues are a sprint from Week 1 but still advocated drafting Jordan Addison even though he will miss the first three weeks. Gretch argued Addison’s ceiling is so high that the short-term points sacrifice is insignificant compared to the wide-receiver punch he provides from Week 4 forward. In his view the roster construction already carries enough early scoring to absorb the delay, and Addison’s explosive profile makes him a league-winning stash at current draft cost.

Ben Gretch called Jordan Addison the ultimate boom-bust pick but worth selecting over Tee Higgins at similar cost. Gretch noted that camp observers have said Addison looks "night and day" better than DJ Moore and Rome Odunze, framing him as a legitimate threat to lead his team in receiving. He acknowledged a wide range of outcomes—Addison could post 120 yards in Week 1 or see only a handful of snaps—but argued that the chance at an immediate WR1 role outweighs that volatility. Because Addison’s ADP still sits several rounds below elite receivers, Gretch recommended chasing the upside in season-long formats and living with any early-season turbulence.

Asked whom to keep in a super-flex league, Best Ball Guy ultimately advised holding Jordan Addison in the 11th round over Terry McLaurin in the 6th. He admitted that starting the year with a suspended player is rough but stressed that the eight-round discount is too much value to pass up, especially when early waiver wire pickups can cover the missed games.

PPRTyler advised continuing to draft Jordan Addison even after news that the receiver will miss roughly three games. Tyler expects Addison’s ADP to tumble during the absence and called the resulting discount "a pretty decent bet to make." He reminded viewers that Alvin Kamara served a similar three-game ban and "came back and smashed," arguing that talented players in good offenses can quickly regain value. Tyler also cited Addison "cooking in the preseason" while Justin Jefferson sat, reinforcing confidence that the Vikings’ pass-heavy system will support strong production once the rookie is healthy.

Best Ball Guy views Addison’s three-game suspension as a gift, calling it "nothing" and hoping it pushes the wideout’s ADP from the 6th to the 7th round. He has been pivoting to Chris Olave in the 6th but would "snap-accept" a discounted Addison every time, stating that seventh-round Addison would be "absolutely amazing." His advice is to let the market overreact to the short suspension and pounce on the price drop.

Best Ball Guy advised scooping Jordan Addison wherever his ADP falls after the NFL confirmed a three-game suspension. He called Addison “so under-priced even with missing three games” because the Vikings sport an elite passing scheme under Kevin O’Connell and Addison already flashed as a 23-year-old who broke out in Year 1. Guy said any slide caused by the bright red ‘Three-Game Suspension’ tag will simply create more value, and he plans to buy aggressively across all Underdog formats.

Rob Coakley argued that the DraftKings 555’s generous 2-of-12 regular-season and 2-of-8 first-playoff advance rates let drafters swing on discounted players who will miss games early. He specifically cited Jordan Addison’s three-game suspension: despite a temporary hole at WR, the upside of adding a proven down-field scorer who finished 23rd in fantasy points per route last season outweighs the risk because you only need to survive your 12-team pod and one soft playoff round. In his view, grabbing Addison one-to-two spots ahead of ADP is +EV; the field’s reluctance creates a leverage window that closes once he’s back in Week 4.

Hayden Winks reacted to Jordan Addison’s three-game suspension by reiterating that he already has the receiver buried around 80th overall—roughly a round behind Addison’s current ADP of 68 (WR37 on Underdog). Winks expects natural touchdown regression after Addison’s high scoring rate last year and is skeptical that projected starter J.J. McCarthy will push the ball downfield as aggressively as Sam Darnold did. With the suspension, quarterback uncertainty, and looming regression all working against him, Winks is fading Addison in both best-ball and traditional redraft formats.

Kevin Seifert reported that Jordan Addison has been suspended for the first three games of the regular season. Losing three weeks of stat accumulation in a typical 13-week fantasy regular season is a 23% hit to his available games, a massive obstacle for managers counting on him as a weekly starter. With Addison sidelined, the early passing tree should funnel even more toward Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson, further limiting Addison’s target share when he returns. Season-long drafters should push him down their boards or plan to draft extra depth at wide receiver to cover the opening month.

Best Ball Guy is hammering Jordan Addison at WR37. Addison already logged back-to-back 900-yard, double-digit touchdown seasons before age 23, yet a possible two-game suspension has depressed his price. Because best ball tournaments are decided in Week 17—when Addison faces the Lions—Best Ball Guy views him as a perfect upside pick whose early absences won’t matter when the money is on the line.

Mike Fanelli is "all in" on Jordan Addison in Rounds 7-8 because the sophomore already proved he can score in bunches. With Sam Darnold he finished 2024 as the WR21 (14.2 PPR per game), out-producing Tyreek Hill (12.8). Addison has 19 TDs on 207 targets across two NFL seasons (10 on 108 targets as a rookie, nine on 99 last year), ranking top-10 in receiving scores both seasons. Fanelli is willing to overlook a likely suspension given the discounted WR36 price and Addison’s demonstrated red-zone prowess.

Dan Graziano reported the Vikings expect the league to hand Jordan Addison a three-game ban after his recent no-contest plea. Even if Addison avoids further discipline, missing nearly a quarter of the fantasy regular season knocks him down draft boards. Graziano advised treating Addison as a back-half bench stash rather than a locked-in starter, noting the early-season targets will shift to Jalen Nailor and Rondale Moore, potentially tightening the competition for snaps once Addison returns.

Best Ball Guy said the market is over-reacting to Jordan Addison’s July traffic stop. He emphasized that the citation was for ‘wet and reckless,’ not a formal DUI, and argued that the NFL may hand down at most a one-game suspension—or none at all. In Underdog’s 12-team regular-season groups where only one roster advances, BBG wants players who project to play every week, so he is still drafting Addison aggressively at his current discount.

Fuller urged dynasty players to capitalize on panic surrounding Jordan Addison’s looming 3–6-game suspension. He stressed that a short ban barely dents a wideout’s multi-year value arc, yet many managers are treating Addison like a distressed asset. If a league-mate is discounting him, Fuller believes now is the time to pounce and secure a proven young producer at a fraction of his normal cost.

Tom Strachan warned that Jordan Addison "looks set to be a zero" for several weeks at the start of 2025, making him a risky pick in Drafters’ cumulative format. Because total points from Week 1-17 decide the contest, even a 20- to 30-point deficit created by early inactivity can bury a roster. Strachan recommended sliding Addison down your board in favour of pass-catchers who will be on the field immediately, stressing that upside later in the year does not offset the hole you dig in September.

Pat Kerrane pushed back on the Addison hype, claiming the former first-rounder projects more like “our generation’s Hollywood Brown” than a future star. Kerrane concedes Addison’s college résumé is strong but believes his size and skill set limit him to a complementary role. He compared Addison unfavorably to Tee Higgins and even George Pickens, arguing those players can operate as true No. 1 options if given volume while Addison tops out as a sturdy secondary target. Calling the sophomore a ‘good professional receiver’ rather than a needle-moving talent, Kerrane cautioned against paying sixth-round prices and prefers betting on higher-ceiling archetypes in the same range. In his view, Addison’s realistic outcome is a mid-WR3 season that fails to justify the aggressive climb in best-ball ADP.

Jakob Sanderson urged drafters to attack Jordan Addison in the late-6th/early-7th round, well ahead of current ADP. Sanderson argued Addison can “go band-for-band” with Tee Higgins if they shared an offense, noting the sophomore already logged roughly 70 targets to Jefferson’s 80 after Week 9 last year despite Jefferson returning from injury. Addison’s profile checks every breakout box: Biletnikoff winner, 19 touchdowns across two NFL seasons, immediate production while playing alongside a megastar, and strong per-route efficiency. Sanderson acknowledged a likely two-to-three-game suspension stemming from Addison’s reckless driving citation but views it as a buying opportunity. He has the second-year wideout ranked 67th overall—just ahead of Stefon Diggs, Deebo Samuel and Isiah Pacheco—and expects a full-season target share in the low-20 % range that can deliver a high-end WR2 outcome if McCarthy proves competent.

Jakob Sanderson called Jordan Addison a screaming value at his current late-7th-round ADP and said he is willing to take him as early as pick 67. Sanderson argued Addison could "go band for band" with Tee Higgins if the two wideouts shared a depth chart, citing Addison’s Boletnikoff-winning college resume and 19 touchdowns through two NFL seasons despite operating "on expert mode" next to Justin Jefferson from Day 1. He highlighted Addison’s ability to separate, his immediate rookie-year production, and Vikings play-caller Kevin O’Connell’s willingness to scheme two-receiver looks that concentrate targets. Sanderson believes the market is unfairly dinging Addison for Jefferson’s presence and a possible two-game suspension, overlooking the sophomore’s weekly spike-week profile that plays perfectly in Best Ball tournaments. He recommended scooping a 10-15 percent portfolio share before the market wakes up.

Overzet advised patience on Jordan Addison, lumping him with Chris Godwin and Brandon Aiyuk as names almost guaranteed to slide. Addison faces a potential suspension; Godwin has bearish injury reports; Aiyuk has "no timeline to return." All three are expected to drop multiple rounds, so burning an early-summer pick sacrifices closing-line value and handicaps roster strength against drafters who wait.

Jonathan Fuller advised scooping up Jordan Addison from nervous managers worried about an expected 3–6 game suspension. Addison averaged 12.07 PPR points per game as a rookie, and Fuller believes a brief 2025 absence is irrelevant to his multi-year outlook. He suggested offering a future second-round pick or a fringe veteran starter to capitalize on the dip before the Vikings wideout is cleared and his value rebounds.

Shawn Siegele urged drafters to bypass Jordan Addison at his current Round-6/7 price because the looming league suspension turns that slot into a landmine. Addison is still going inside the top-80 despite multiple reports suggesting the NFL could rule before Week 1. Siegele noted that passing on Addison at ADP is painless: the Vikings wideout regularly slips several rounds in other draft rooms and there are plenty of similarly profiled rookies—such as Rome Odunze or Jerry Jeudy’s new teammate Luther Burden—available later. Given the opportunity cost of the RB and TE "sweet spot" in that same pocket of the draft, Siegele is simply banking those picks elsewhere and scooping any discounted Addison shares only if he falls two rounds beyond ADP.

Overzet advised patience on Jordan Addison, stressing that a forthcoming suspension should continue to drag his ADP south. Loading up now simply locks in negative CLV when cheaper tags are almost guaranteed in a few weeks.

Best Ball Guy called Jordan Addison a "really fun" fifth receiver because any looming multi-game suspension is perfectly offset by an already loaded WR room featuring Puka Nacua, George Pickens, Marvin Harrison, and Zay Flowers. Addison flashed explosive rookie-year efficiency (2.22 yards per route on 93 % routes) and remains tethered to an offense that should stay pass-centric. Grabbing him in the sixth compensates for the early-season risk while preserving the 20-plus-point spike-week upside you need in playoff weeks.

Davis Mattek urged drafters to take advantage of Jordan Addison sliding down Underdog boards in the wake of his plea agreement. Mattek stressed that a suspension has been baked into Addison’s price all offseason, yet the wideout keeps falling even though resolving the court case actually makes a sub-three-game ban more likely. He compared the situation to prior "double-pricing" dips—where new drafters overreact to old news—and argued the current discount is irrational because Addison’s projected target share behind Justin Jefferson has not changed. Mattek expects the ADP slide to reverse once the league announces discipline, calling Addison a textbook buy-low for teams that need upside weeks after the first month of the season.

Ian Hartitz said Jordan Addison should be treated as an easy stash because the league is now expected to levy only a one-to-three-game suspension. That short ban falls before bye weeks hit, so fantasy managers will not feel the roster crunch they would with a mid-season Ezekiel-Elliott-style ruling. Hartitz reminded listeners that from Weeks 9-17 of last year Addison was the PPR WR5—one spot behind Justin Jefferson—and did it while playing his normal No. 2 role, not because of Jefferson’s absence. With Addison locked into secondary coverage opposite Jefferson, Hartitz believes the sophomore can regularly pop for 20-plus PPR points once active. His advice is to burn a late bench slot, ride out the micro-suspension, then unleash a potential every-week WR2 with week-winning upside the rest of the way.

Addison pled to a wet-reckless charge, and Winks believes the league will hand down a two-to-three-game suspension—history shows most DUI-type cases land at three. He moved the sophomore to 75th overall, noting that early missed games are replaceable but the Vikings’ quarterback uncertainty (Sam Darnold vs. rookie J.J. McCarthy) already made Addison a volatile investment.

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound said snagging Jordan Addison at pick 74 is "getting him at true value" because that’s roughly where Addison would sit if today’s rumor of a possible three-game disciplinary action (unrelated to Addison himself) were priced in. Pat expects the sophomore to be fully ramped by the fantasy playoffs and pointed out that in Weeks 14-18 last year Addison averaged 7.1 targets and 14.6 fantasy points despite playing through several minor injuries. With Justin Jefferson commanding bracket coverage and T.J. Hockenson still working back from ACL surgery, Pat projects Addison to operate as Minnesota’s de-facto chain-mover during the all-important Best Ball playoff weeks. His bottom line: click Addison whenever he drifts into the mid-70s, lock in WR3 production early, and bank on an ADP rise once suspension noise settles.

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound said he is "completely fine" with Jordan Addison’s current cost but is deliberately drafting slightly ahead of ADP because he expects the sophomore wideout to drift even lower. Pat doesn’t view Addison as a poor advance-rate play—the Vikings passing volume and T.J. Hockenson’s injury timeline should keep Addison’s early-season targets intact—but he believes drafters will let him slip, creating an opportunity to stack him cheaper with Minnesota pieces or opposing Week-17 correlations. The plan: don’t reach, let the room give him to you.

Even with a rumored three-game suspension looming, Best Ball Guy clicked Jordan Addison as his WR5 and called it ‘totally fine.’ He argued the roster already had four startable wideouts, so it can weather Addison’s early absence. Once active, Addison brings week-winning spike potential and stacks naturally with both T.J. Hockenson and a late J.J. McCarthy pick, creating cheap triple-correlation for the playoff weeks. BBG believes the market is over-reacting to the short suspension window and ignoring Addison’s 17% rookie-year target share and 1.77 yards per route run that project to climb with Justin Jefferson commanding top coverage. In his view, scooping the sophomore at a discount now is classic Eliminator leverage: sacrifice three weeks to gain a possible WR2 the rest of the season.

Andy Holloway reminded listeners that Jordan Addison faces a baseline three-game suspension under the NFL’s DUI policy. Addison has a pre-trial hearing looming and many expect a plea deal, but any conviction would still cost him at least three contests, per Adam Schefter’s reporting. Holloway noted the fantasy fallout: you cannot raise Justin Jefferson’s value any further, yet T.J. Hockenson should see an immediate spike in targets if Addison sits. Redraft drafters should bake a three-plus-game absence into Addison’s price and consider Hockenson a strong bet to start hot.

Pete Overzet advised holding off on Jordan Addison shares for a few more days. He expects the league’s decision on Addison’s speeding citation to surface imminently and believes any suspension—even if short—will push Addison’s ADP down from the late-fifth/early-sixth into the back of the sixth round. Overzet is intentionally under-weight at current prices, betting that market fear will grant a short-term discount similar to what happened with Rashee Rice. Once the news hits and the fall stabilizes, he’ll start adding exposure; until then, he prefers other wideouts in that tier.

Mattek called Jordan Addison an "ideal fifth wide receiver" for a zero-RB build even though Addison is suspended for the first three games. With earlier picks already covering the opening weeks (Puka Nacua, Garrett Wilson, Xavier Worthy, Travis Hunter), Mattek is comfortable stashing Addison because of the 20-plus point upside he has already flashed. The delayed start depresses ADP, and once active Addison can immediately post flex-worthy scores, letting drafters continue hammering upside running-back swings in the mid rounds.

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound said Jordan Addison remains a priority pick even if a rumored three-game suspension hits. He is willing to reach slightly ahead of ADP because Addison brings a coveted Week 17 shoot-out correlation against Detroit and functions as part of his broader strategy to maximize finals upside rather than regular-season advance rate. Pat stressed that in a half-PPR best-ball format you can comfortably stomach three early zeros when the payoff is a healthy WR2 tied to Kirk Cousins for the playoff weeks. He argued Addison would not drop much further than players like Jakobi Meyers or the Tier-2 rookie wideouts even with the suspension, so the cost discount is already baked in.

Davis Mattek warned that a run-heavier Minnesota offense would nuke Jordan Addison’s value faster than Justin Jefferson’s. If McCarthy delivers only Nick Mullens-level play and the team’s pass attempts decline, Addison—already a clear No. 2 in target share—“goes to zero” because there is no longer enough meat on the bone to sustain two fantasy starters. Mattek said Addison’s Round-4 ADP assumes last year’s pass volume and requires elite touchdown luck to hit. He is passing on the sophomore entirely until the Vikings’ summer usage and pass-rate picture brighten.

Tyler Knaeble pushed Jordan Addison as the clear upside choice over Chris Godwin or Chris Olave in current Underdog rooms. He called Addison “a full-on breakout” and emphasized that the second-year Viking is both “amazing talent-wise” and in a superior situation, projecting far more opportunity in Kevin O’Connell’s pass-centric offense than the older veterans enjoy with their respective teams. Knaeble added that Addison’s ADP is being temporarily suppressed by chatter of a possible league suspension, creating a window to grab a future WR1 at a WR2/3 price before the July training-camp hype cycle closes that gap.

JSU advised targeting Jordan Addison whenever you start drafts with Justin Jefferson because the Vikings’ pieces are "spread out" in ADP, making the stack cheap and powerful. He reminded listeners that Kevin O’Connell’s pass-centric scheme just turned Sam Darnold into a near $100 million quarterback on the open market, so Addison walks into a wide-open WR2 role opposite a top-two receiver on what JSU calls a "legit, really talented" offense. With T.J. Hockenson commanding attention between the hashes and veteran Aaron Jones added to keep drives alive, JSU envisions a large jump in both target share and red-zone looks for Addison, projecting multiple spike weeks that will be critical in Best Ball tournaments while he still lingers in the seventh-to-eighth-round range.

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound selected Jordan Addison in the mid-50s and emphasized the Vikings’ dream playoff itinerary: Week 16 at Detroit’s Ford Field and Week 17 hosting Dallas in U.S. Bank Stadium—both fast indoor tracks. Pairing Addison with earlier CeeDee Lamb exposure delivers what Pat called a “double-dome ping-pong stack” capable of producing correlated shootouts in back-to-back elimination weeks. With Justin Jefferson drawing bracket coverage, Pat expects Addison’s route participation to climb above last year’s 87% and projects an 18%–20% target share that can pop inside against Detroit’s shaky slot corners. He urged drafters to grab Addison whenever he falls past ADP 55 to lock in that unique indoor bring-back alongside top-end closing-line value.

Pete Overzet said he continues to draft Jordan Addison despite an expected league suspension stemming from an off-field incident that beat reporter Jude Davenport projects at one to three games. Overzet believes that light ban is not fully baked into Addison’s ADP, which has slid only a handful of spots. He reminded listeners that Kevin O’Connell’s scheme finished top-10 in yards per play last year even with quarterback turmoil and called rookie passer J.J. McCarthy "good enough" to keep the offense humming alongside weapons like Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson. Overzet wants a receiver who can score when it matters in Weeks 15–17 and views Addison’s post-suspension role as the locked-in WR2 on a well-coached attack as worth the early missed games.

Tyler Sullivan labeled Jordan Addison a prime "year-three boost" candidate. Although Addison has yet to post a 1,000-yard campaign, Sullivan highlighted his elite touchdown production—10 scores in each of his first two seasons—and believes volume will finally follow with rookie QB J.J. McCarthy taking over an offense that figures to lean on quick-hitting concepts. Sullivan expects defenses to bracket Justin Jefferson, leaving Addison in favorable single coverage where his route nuance shines. He projects Addison to clear 1,000 yards for the first time while maintaining red-zone chemistry, making him an ideal mid-round Season-Long pick who could outperform ADP by multiple tiers.
