The Minnesota Vikings (2-2) will visit the Cleveland Browns (1-3) in Week 5. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Jordan Addison.
Football Is Jordan Addison Playing in Week 5?
Addison is not on the injury report and is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Vikings’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Football Should You Start or Sit Addison in Week 5?
Addison missed the first three weeks by way of a suspension before debuting in Ireland against the Steelers.
By averaging 13.4 yards per catch and scoring on 14.3% of his receptions through two seasons, Addison established himself as an elite option when getting the ball in his hands.
We saw glimpses of that in his 2025 debut, with a 21-yard contested catch, where Carson Wentz clearly instructed him to trust him when singled up in coverage, being the first example, and the 81-yard busted coverage gain being the last. No receiver stepped up in his stead, and with T.J. Hockenson not as much of a factor through the first month of the season as we had hoped, it stands to reason to think that Addison should see plenty of volume.
Upcoming schedule
- Week 5 vs. Browns (London)
- Week 6 bye
- Week 7 vs. Eagles
- Week 8 at Chargers (Thursday Night Football)
That’s a tough way to open your season, especially with a backup QB. Addison carries a wide range of outcomes, and I expect that to be the case for the entirety of 2025. If you’re left without a Drake London or Rome Odunze this week as byes begin to impact starting lineups, Minnesota’s WR2 is a perfectly viable plug-and-play option next to Justin Jefferson.
