Unfortunately, Minnesota lost Jefferson for four or more weeks because of a hamstring injury in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Last week, Addison took over as the team’s No. 1 wide receiver against the Chicago Bears and had a solid performance.

The rookie receiver had three receptions on five targets for 28 receiving yards and a touchdown, scoring 10.3 fantasy points in the win over the division rivals.

Despite taking over as the No. 1 wide receiver last week, Addison is not a must-start moving forward. Furthermore, he has an average matchup tonight against the San Francisco 49ers. They have surrendered 26.8 fantasy points per game to wide receivers, around the league average.

Hopefully, Addison can keep up his touchdown production and find the end zone tonight.
