2025 Fantasy Outlook

Role & Opportunity

• Target Share: 21% of team targets; entrenched as the clear WR2 behind Justin Jefferson

• Route Share: High involvement (92% of offensive snaps running routes)

• Quarterback Uncertainty: Sam Darnold (who had a career year in 2024) is now being succeeded by 2nd-year QB J.J. McCarthy—introduces volatility in passing volume and efficiency

Upside Traits

• Explosiveness: Averaging ~4 big plays per season; receives deep and air-yard opportunities

• Red Zone / Deep TDs: Averaged around 9 TDs in both seasons; among top 5 WRs in red-zone scoring

Consistency & Variance

• High Variance: Strong ceiling (multiple 100+ yard, multi-TD games), but floor concerns—weekly output often dips below threshold for reliable fantasy scores

Headliner Take

Jordan Addison enters the 2025 season as the Vikings’ clear WR2 behind Justin Jefferson, coming off back-to-back years with over 850 receiving yards and at least 9 touchdowns. He maintained a consistent 20% target share in 2024, with strong involvement in deep and red-zone opportunities. While Addison’s big-play ability and scoring upside remain intact, his weekly fantasy production has been inconsistent, with several games under 60 yards. The transition to 2nd-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy adds some uncertainty to Minnesota’s passing efficiency, but Addison’s role as a primary downfield and secondary target ensures he’ll continue to provide spike weeks, making him a high-upside WR3/4 option in 2025 fantasy formats.
