Jordan Addison Fantasy Outlook 2025: Should you draft Vikings WR amid suspension for violating NFL's substance abuse policy?

Jordan Addison has been a consistently reliable fantasy football wide receiver in each of his two years with the Minnesota Vikings. He is expected to serve in his usual role for the 2025 season but must first serve a three-game suspension. That obviously impacts his fantasy outlook, but he still carries plenty of upside.

Should you draft Vikings WR Jordan Addison in 2025?

Addison fantasy outlook

Jordan Addison has finished as WR20 and WR21 in his two NFL seasons with the Vikings, making him a steady fantasy option. His three-game suspension will lower his overall fantasy value.

The wide receiver missed two games last year and still finished as WR20, proving he can overcome a shortened season. He remains a solid draft pick, but fantasy managers who select him will need an alternative plan for the first three weeks.

Jordan Addison fantasy outlook in 2025

Addison is in a rare situation where he serves as the WR2 on his NFL team, but still makes for an excellent fantasy football pick. He proved that he can still make a major impact, despite playing across from Justin Jefferson, one of the best overall players.

His situation isn't unprecedented, as others like Tee Higgins and Chris Godwin have thrived in similar roles. Addison has 133 receptions on 207 targets over two seasons, scoring 10 touchdowns in each. That production suggests he can be counted on again in 2025 after his suspension.

Is Jordan Addison a good pick in fantasy football this year?

Some managers may avoid Addison in drafts this year because of his three-game suspension. That creates an opportunity to select him at a discount compared with his proven value over the past two seasons.

Another potential risk is that the Vikings will turn to rookie J.J. McCarthy as their starting quarterback. It will be Addison’s third quarterback in as many years, but he has posted consistent numbers with the first two, making another solid season realistic.
