Addison’s Week 3 outlook hinges on Wentz and line health. With protection uncertain, expect more quick-hitting targets and a stabilized floor, but big-play upside may wane until the Vikings fix protection. Addison could see steady, usable volume even if ceiling remains capped by the O-line.

Addison’s Week 4 return looms as a potential catalyst for McCarthy’s efficiency, offering a speed element that can stretch defenses and create easier windows. His absence in Week 2 left Minnesota with fewer high‐leverage throws and more reliance on Jefferson; Addison’s presence could restore balance.

Addison complements Jefferson as a high-ceiling target for the Vikings, particularly if Jefferson draws top coverage. Addison’s explosiveness creates strong flex and tournament upside depending on game flow and injuries.

Addison’s reduced Week 1 role due to missing WR2 status creates a compelling Week 2 bounce-back narrative, as McCarthy’s arm and rushing upside align with Addison's field-stretching speed to unlock Minnesota’s aerial attack.

Addison's suspension creates a temporary vacuum in the Vikings pass game, increasing Jones's and McCarthy's responsibility. In Addison's absence, the offense leans on Jones and Mason, along with tight ends and backs to carry the load until Addison returns.
