The legal troubles surrounding Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison come to a head today as his jury trial begins. Addison is facing charges stemming from a DUI citation earlier this year, and has chosen to plead not guilty. If found guilty, he could be handed a three-game suspension by the NFL under its personal conduct policy.

From a fantasy football standpoint, Addison’s situation creates uncertainty for managers drafting in upcoming leagues. A three-game suspension would not only limit his availability during the fantasy season but could also affect his chemistry with the new Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy. While Addison showed flashes of breakout potential in 2024, he could still be a value stash for this season if his ADP drops a few rounds on the news. Jalen Nailor also becomes interesting in best ball, not only to cover the possible suspension, but also with a little stand alone value in a potentially high-powered offense in 2025.
