Addison (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the Lions, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll remained sidelined for the entire second half of the Week 16 contest after sustaining the ankle injury during the return of a Lions interception with just under three minutes remaining in the second quarter. Addison finishes the day with one catch for two yards on three targets.

Addison exited Sunday's game against the Lions due to an ankle injury, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Addison visited the sideline tent after quarterback Nick Mullens' second interception of the game, when the rookie was the intended receiver. If Addison is unable to return, he'll finish Week 16 with one catch (on three targets) for two yards. K.J. Osborn and Brandon Powell are poised for more work alongside Justin Jefferson during Addison's absence.

Addison caught six passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns on six targets in the 27-24 overtime loss to the Bengals on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It was an improbable resurgence from Addison, as the rookie seemed likely to fall to the margins, as Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson were expected to claim the majority of Vikings' targets. Addison's talent was obvious early in his rookie year, but he had predictably struggled somewhat after the season-ending injury to Kirk Cousins. This game from Addison raises the hope that he might get on a roll again despite Cousins' absence. The Week 16 matchup with Detroit is likely a favorable one for Addison, who will look to score his 10th touchdown before his excellent rookie season concludes.

Addison caught two of three targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Justin Jefferson (chest) left the game in the second quarter and didn't return, but Addison didn't see a significant increase in his production afterward -- in fact, the two wideouts finished the game with identical numbers. The rookie has now failed to score a touchdown or reach 70 receiving yards in five straight games since Kirk Cousins (Achilles) was lost for the season. It's not clear if Jefferson is headed for another lengthy absence, and the Vikings' QB situation is unsettled with Nick Mullens having replaced Joshua Dobbs in the fourth quarter, so Addison's fantasy outlook could be especially volatile heading into a Week 15 road clash with the Bengals.

Addison secured six of 10 targets for 39 yards in the Vikings' 12-10 loss to the Bears on Monday night.
EDGE Analysis
Addison led the Vikings in receptions and targets but finished third in receiving yards. Outside of his 14-yard grab, Addison averaged only 5.0 yards per reception, leading to his lowest tally in that category since his first encounter with the Bears back in Week 6. Justin Jefferson (hamstring) should have a good chance of returning to action for Minnesota's Week 14 road matchup against the Raiders following a Week 13 bye, so Addison could well see a downturn in targets beginning with that game.

Addison secured three of six targets for 44 yards in the Vikings' 21-20 loss to the Broncos on Sunday night.
EDGE Analysis
Addison finished third in receiving yards despite checking in second in targets for the Vikings on the night, as he took a rare back seat to multiple pass catchers in a game that was played with Justin Jefferson (hamstring) still unavailable. Addison's catch and yardage tallies were his lowest over the last five games, and with Jefferson potentially set to return for a Week 12 Monday night clash against the Bears on Nov. 27, Addison could soon officially slot back into a No. 2 role.

Addison recorded four receptions on seven targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
The entirety of Addison's production came in the first half, as the Vikings jumped out to a 24-3 lead and were conservative in the final two quarters. While he was overshadowed by T.J. Hockenson, Addison earned at least seven targets and topped 50 yards for the fourth consecutive game. He's retained volume in two games without Kirk Cousins (Achilles), but the impending return of Justin Jefferson (hamstring) will change the dynamic of the offense.

Addison recorded five receptions on seven targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Addison struggled to get going with either Joshua Dobbs or Jaren Hall (concussion) under center. He did make timely catches, including a 13-yard catch just before halftime to set up a touchdown for the Vikings as well as a 24-yard reception to get into Falcons territory on the game-winning touchdown drive. Addison's streak of four consecutive contests finding the end zone came to a close, but he'll maintain a significant role in the offense -- particularly as long as Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is sidelined.

Addison caught seven of eight targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie wideout caught a 20-yard strike from Kirk Cousins (Achilles) in the third quarter for the Vikings' final points of the afternoon, extending his TD streak to four games and giving Addison seven touchdowns in his first eight NFL games. Unfortunately for the Vikings' passing game, Cousins' day ended early with what's feared to be a torn Achilles that would cost the QB the rest of the season. If that's the case, Addison will likely be catching passes from fellow rookie Jaren Hall in Week 9 against the Falcons, with veteran backup Nick Mullens (back) not eligible to come off IR until at least Week 10.

Addison brought in seven of 10 targets for 123 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings' 22-17 win over the 49ers on Monday night.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie paced the Vikings in receiving yards on a night where he was forced to exit the game for a time with cramping. Addison scored from 20 and 60 yards out in the first and second quarters, respectively, pushing his season touchdown total to six. The fleet-footed USC product's night also served as his first 100-yard effort as a pro, raising expectations ahead of a Week 8 road matchup against the Packers that will once again see Addison take the field without Justin Jefferson (hamstring, IR).
