Jordan Addison caught 3-of-8 targets for 66 yards in the Vikings’ Week 8 loss to the Lions.
Kyler Murray targeted Addison deep a few times in this one and connected with Addison on a 51-yard deep shot over double coverage in the injury-riddled Lions secondary. It was good to see signs of life from Addison, who entered Week 8 averaging fewer expected fantasy points per game than Cooper Kupp and Kendrick Bourne. The team’s primary downfield threat, Addison’s role in the run-heavy Minnesota offense makes him a boom-bust weekly play. That won’t change in a good matchup in Week 9 against the Bills.
