The Vikings selected Maryland WR Tai Felton with the 102nd pick of Round 3 in the 2025 NFL Draft. At nearly 6'1, 186 pounds, he’s a plus athlete with inside/outside versatility. Felton also brings an advanced route-running repertoire. Felton stayed four years at Mayland and boosted his production in each of the past three seasons. His final season truly stood out. Despite poor QB play, Felton racked up 96 catches, 1,124 yards, and 9 TDs. He posted strong market shares: 30.4% of the team’s catches, 34% of the receiving yards, and 42.8% of the receiving TDs. Felton also led Maryland in receiving yards and receiving TDs as a junior. He had a 9.62 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his pre-draft testing. He also ranked fifth among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 30.7%, and 20th among those WRs in PFF receiving grade with an 80.2. He enters the league at 22 after breaking out at age 20.5. Felton ranked 17th among WRs in our Draft Sharks pre-draft Rookie Model scoring a 6.29. We comp him to Cowboys WR Jalen Tolbert in our Rookie Guide.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson scored for the third straight game in Sunday's victory over Houston. He was one of four Minnesota players to catch TD passes from QB Sam Darnold in the victory. Jefferson led the team in targets (8), receptions (6), and yards (81).

Vikings WR Jordan Addison (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Texans. His absence last week turned WR Jalen Nailor into a full-time player. He ran a route on 97% of pass plays, catching three of four targets for 54 yards and a score. He's in play as a WR4 in deep fantasy leagues.

Vikings WR Jordan Addison has been ruled out with a right ankle injury for Week 2. Addison injured his left ankle during training camp and dealt with that injury for most of camp. In Week 1, Addison injured his right ankle and did not practice all week.

Vikings WR Jordan Addison (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 1 injury report. He was a full participant in Friday's practice. It all suggests that he'll be close to or at 100% for Sunday's opener vs. the Giants. That's good news for a Vikings offense that will be without TE T.J. Hockenson. Addison should see solid volume and is in the WR3 mix in this plus matchup. WR Jalen Nailor (ankle) is also off the final injury report.

Vikings WR Jordan Addison returned to practice Monday for the first time since spraining his left ankle in an Aug. 14 practice. We don't yet know just how much he participated, though we'll start getting those reports Wednesday, ahead of Sunday's season opener at the Giants.

Vikings WR K.J. Osborn (concussion) is out for today’s game vs. the Saints. He’s cleared the concussion protocol, but the team is opting to hold Osborn out. He should be back for Week 11. Osborn’s absence leaves Minnesota with WRs Jordan Addison, Brandon Powell, Trishton Jackson, N’Keal Harry, and Jalen Nailor. Addison is the only viable fantasy play.

Vikings QB Kirk Cousins threw for just 205 yards in Sunday's loss to the Packers, with 1 TD and 3 INTs. The lone TD went to WR Jalen Nailor from 47 yards out, helping him lead the team with 89 yards on 3 catches. TE T.J. Hockenson led the team with 12 targets, catching 7 for 59 yards. WR K.J. Osborn added a TD catch, but it came from QB Nick Mullens in garbage time. WR Justin Jefferson managed just 1 reception for 15 yards among 5 looks. Minnesota closes out the regular season with an upside matchup at Chicago.
