**Jordan Addison enters the 2026 season as the Minnesota Vikings’ clear No. 2 wide receiver behind Justin Jefferson, with Jauan Jennings added as the third option.** After posting career lows of 42 catches for 610 yards in 14 games during 2025 amid unstable quarterback play, Addison benefits from Kyler Murray’s expected starting role, which should improve downfield accuracy and drive sustainability compared to prior options. He remains on his fifth-year option through 2027. A jammed thumb in late training camp proved minor, allowing near-full participation. In Week 1, he drew just two targets for zero yards as Murray exited early with a concussion and the offense funneled looks to Jefferson and tight ends. Week 2 against Chicago’s secondary offers an early opportunity to establish volume in an offense that projects him for steady but secondary targets behind the primary options.
