Jordan Addison’s legal situation remains in flux as the Vikings’ wide receiver faces DUI charges stemming from a July 2024 incident. While Drew Davenport’s analysis on X (Twitter) suggests Addison could face a 3-game suspension if convicted, historical trends for similar offenses point to a reduction to just 1-2 games. With multiple pretrial hearings scheduled, it’s still unclear whether Addison will be convicted or if his charges will be reduced. Fantasy managers should monitor the situation, but it’s likely Addison will avoid a lengthy suspension, meaning his 2025 season may not be significantly impacted.

On the field, Addison had a strong finish to his season, finishing as the WR21 in 2024 with 64 receptions, 804 yards, and 4 touchdowns. He quickly became a key part of the Vikings’ offense alongside Justin Jefferson. With J.J. McCarthy expected to take over as the starting quarterback, Addison should see an even more prominent role in 2025, providing fantasy managers with a valuable asset. Currently being drafted as the WR30 on Underdog, Addison’s price reflects the risk of a possible suspension, but with the likelihood of a shorter suspension, he could easily outperform his draft position and provide strong value for fantasy teams.
