Newer update on Jordan Addison: Week 5 injuries: McLaurin, Chase/Higgins, Jefferson/Addison

Jordan Addison injury update: Returns to practice Thursday ahead of Week 5 vs. Saints (hamstring)

Addison was back at practice Thursday after dealing with a hamstring issue.

By Cole Hartwell

Jordan Addison returned to practice Thursday, according to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com. The wide receiver has been dealing with a hamstring issue.

What happened

Addison was back on the practice field Thursday, per Seifert. The report comes as the Vikings prepare for a Week 5 road game against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

Context

Addison has played in all four games this season, totaling 33.2 PPR points with 22 targets, 11 receptions, 163 receiving yards and one touchdown. He has played 92% of Minnesota’s offensive snaps.

Last week against an unspecified opponent, Addison posted 9.1 PPR points on six targets, four catches and 52 yards. He played 96% of the snaps. In Week 3, he had 20.0 PPR points with nine targets, five catches, 90 yards and a touchdown.

Sleeper currently tags him as questionable due to the hamstring, but that listing may be left over from the previous week and is not the team’s game status for Week 5.

Depth chart

Addison is listed as the RWR2 on the Vikings’ depth chart, behind Justin Jefferson and ahead of Jauan Jennings. Jefferson has 44.9 PPR points in three games this season, while Jennings has 2.9 PPR points in three games. Tai Felton and Myles Price are next in line.

What’s next

The Vikings play at the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, October 11.

Jordan Addison (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, per @SeifertESPN.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Addison’s return to practice Thursday is a positive sign for his Week 5 availability. The 24-year-old has been a full-time player when healthy, with a 92% snap share and 5.5 targets per game. His 8.4 PPR projection from Sleeper for Week 5 likely reflects some uncertainty about his hamstring. If active, Addison is a WR3/flex option against the Saints, though the projection suggests moderate expectations. Jefferson’s questionable ankle tag is also worth monitoring, but he has played well when available. Jennings and Felton would be the next wide receivers up if Addison or Jefferson cannot play, but neither has produced enough to be a reliable fantasy option this season. Addison’s recent drop in 97,614 leagues is aggressive for a player who practiced Thursday; he is still worth holding in most formats until his Week 5 status is official.

Quick answers

What is Jordan Addison's injury status?
