The Minnesota Vikings<\/a> surprised everybody in 2024. Going from the favorite to finish last in the NFC North to a 14-3 record, it was a hugely successful season for the Vikings. Their regular season success did not translate to the playoffs, but one player who can hang his head high is Jordan Addison. <\/span>This<\/span> is the dynasty outlook for Jordan Addison after his promising sophomore season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jordan Addison: Dynasty Outlook for Exciting Vikings Receiver<\/span><\/h2>\n

Current Production<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Addison’s raw numbers are very similar to last season’s numbers<\/a>. He had the same number of touchdowns from scrimmage, seven fewer receptions and 36 fewer receiving yards. However, these numbers lack context. <\/span>Addison came into the season with an ankle injury<\/span>, which<\/span> he played through and reaggravated, causing him to miss two games.<\/span> Also, Justin Jefferson<\/a> missed an extended period last season, which gave Addison some time as the WR1 in the Vikings offense.<\/span><\/p>\n

Addison was still inconsistent. He had four full games below seven fantasy points but two with over 30. From Week 11 to 17, he was the WR6<\/a> overall. It’ll be crucial for Addison to find consistency, but he’s shown his potential to explode for massive performances. Had he not missed two games, he may have broken the 1,000-yard barrier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Addison<\/span> Dynasty Price<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Addison started the season as the dynasty WR30 on KeepTradeCut<\/a> and dipped as low as the WR36, but his run at the end of the season has brought him <\/span>all the way<\/span> up to WR19. That makes him the 54th-ranked player overall. It’s worth noting that despite finishing his second season, Addison only just turned 23. That makes him younger than rookies Ricky Pearsall<\/a> and Jalen McMillan<\/a>. He has plenty of time to grow and improve more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on the year, Addison is worth an early second or even late first-round pick in dynasty leagues. If he can build on his tools, he’ll become a surefire top-20 fantasy receiver. A trade for Addison would likely involve top-level players, but he’s far from unattainable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Addison<\/span> Dynasty Outlook<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Addison is a great player, but there’s one issue. He plays on the same team as Justin Jefferson. <\/span>This<\/span> means that, as long as Addison plays for the Viking<\/span>s, he<\/span>‘ll never be the WR1, which caps his fantasy ceiling. He’s in the DeVonta Smith<\/a> and Jaylen Waddle category of players who play second fiddle to superstar receivers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second question is the quarterback situation in Minnesota. Sam Darnold came in and played better than anyone would have imagined, but the Vikings used a top-10 pick on J.J. McCarthy<\/a>. The Vikings have three options: extend Darnold and commit to him as the starter, franchise tag him and delay the decision by one year or let him walk in free agency<\/a>, making McCarthy the starter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their decision will impact Addison’s outlook, but he’s a top-30 fantasy receiver at worst. At best, he can creep into the top 15 for the first time in his career in 2025. His age, skillset, and touchdown upside make him a desirable fantasy option.<\/span><\/p>\n

What to Do With\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Jordan Addison <\/span>in Dynasty Leagues<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

If Darnold is the starter, keep Addison, at least for 2025. If it’s McCarthy, you might be more inclined to trade him. Rookie quarterbacks can take a while to develop, and McCarthy doesn’t have outstanding physical tools. Addison’s value is <\/span>quite<\/span> high <\/span>at the moment<\/span>, so now would not be a bad time to send him away, depending on your estimation of McCarthy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
