Jordan Addison A WR2 Option In Week 12

12 months ago

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will look to get back on track in Week 12 as the Vikings host the Bears on Monday night. The rookie went through a hot stretch after Justin Jefferson (hamstring) was placed on IR, as he caught four touchdowns from Week 6 to Week 8. Addison has found his production come back down to earth since quarterback Kirk Cousins (Achilles) has been out of the lineup, as he has failed to find the end zone in three consecutive games. However, the USC product has seen 20 targets over this span, so he can continue to be treated as a WR2 option with Joshua Dobbs under center. Jefferson is listed as questionable for this one, so if he is active the outlook of Addison will take a hit, but it doesn't sound likely the All-Pro wideout will return right before the team's BYE week. Addison will be second in line for targets behind tight end T.J. Hockenson in this one, but he should still be able to produce against a Bears' pass defense that has allowed the fourth-most passing yards this season.
