Is Jordan Addison Playing in Week 18?

Addison is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

We’ll continue to monitor the Vikings’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.

Should You Start or Sit Jordan Addison in Week 18?

Addison ranks sixth among receivers with at least 75 targets this season in production over expectation (+28.9%, just ahead of Ladd McConkey and Ja’Marr Chase). He looks like the real deal after a rookie year that I was willing to write off as Christian Watson-y because of the unsustainably high scoring rate.

In Week 7’s matchup with Detroit, Addison only caught three passes (66 yards), but Josh Nailor added 76 yards, and I think it’s safe to say that Addison is a good bet to absorb some of that usage.

The Lions are a top-10 deep ball defense in terms of both completion percentage and touchdown rate, making this a bit of a boom/bust matchup. We’ve seen what the valleys look like from Addison (six games under 45 receiving yards), and that drags him down to an average WR2 ranking for me this week, but the upside that comes with 12 red-zone touches over his past six games is tough to sit on in a week like this.

Addison can become the fourth player since 1985 to open his career with a pair of double-digit TD reception seasons (Odell Beckham Jr., Rob Gronkowski, and Randy Moss).
