Early Rookie Predictions & Sleepers: Jordan Addison
Jordan Addison (WR – MIN)
“I love drafting Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison in the back-end WR3 range. He is much cheaper to acquire than fellow first-rounder Jaxon Smith-Njigba despite the former having the much better landing spot as the No. 2 WR in the Vikings offense. He can win downfield and offers the ability to play inside/out. Considering the Vikings have been trotting out a declining — yet very productive — Adam Thielen for the past few years, Addison as the No. 2 will provide fantasy managers with immediate return in a pass-happy offense. We could easily see the Jefferson-Addison combination mimicking other top WR duos like DK Metcalf–Tyler Lockett and A.J. Brown–DeVonta Smith sooner rather than later.”

“Factoring in cost, I’m most interested in drafting Jordan Addison at his eighth-round ADP. Addison’s route running is sublime, and we know Justin Jefferson is going to draw a lot of defensive attention, making Addison’s job a little easier. Kirk Cousins milked some strong fantasy seasons from his previous slot receiver, Adam Thielen. The Vikings’ defense could be one of the worst in the league, setting up Minnesota for a lot of pass-heavy game scripts. It’s not inconceivable that Addison could finish in WR2 range as a rookie.”
