Vikings takeaway No. 5
He is the real deal.
Not having Justin Jefferson available has been a bit of a letdown. That said, rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison has stepped up in a big way and is making a great case to get targets even when Jefferson returns.
Addison was third in receiving yards for Minnesota, catching seven of the eight passes thrown his way for 82 yards and a touchdown. He has seven receiving touchdowns in his eight games played, an impressive mark for a rookie.
On the season, Addison has caught 36 passes for 482 yards. Mathematically, he is on pace to surpass 1,000 yards this year but could see his numbers go down a little when Jefferson returns and if Cousins misses the rest of the season.
The Minnesota Vikings have a dangerous young receiving duo that they could enjoy for many years to come. Jefferson and Addison will make opposing defenses work extra hard, especially with Hockenson there as well.
