Jordan Addison: Latest Injury Update - December 28
Addison (ankle) missed practice on Wednesday. That doesn't bode well for his status in the Vikings' upcoming Week 17 contest against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football.
The injury looked serious when it happened on a collision as Addison attempted to play defense on a Lions' interception return. It was reportedly considered "week-to-week," which indicates a strong possibility that Addison would miss at least one game.
Jordan Addison: Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Addison will have two more chances to get in a full practice before the weekend. If he practices in full on Friday, then he is likely to be a go for Sunday Night Football.
However, it seems more likely that Addison will miss the final game of the fantasy football season. He could be back for Week 18, a game road game in Detroit, which has a fast turf that typically produces high-scoring games.
Jordan Addison: Fantasy Football Outlook
If Addison does recover in time for the game, he'll face a Packers' defense that has been giving up big games to opposing quarterbacks lately. In the past three games, the Packers have allowed an average of 269.7 passing yards per game, the fourth-most in the league. However, they are only allowing 216.9 passing yards per game for the full season.
Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry has been criticized for playing soft coverage in the second half of games. His defenses were carved up even by middling quarterbacks like Tommy Devito and Bryce Young, who threw for 312 yards against the Packers.
Despite the Vikings having to start Nick Mullens, a suboptimal quarterback, they still have a good chance to gain yards and put up points on the Packers, especially with the their top cornerback Jaire Alexander missing the game due to a suspension for posing as a team captain and almost messing up the coin toss last week.
If Addison is healthy, he would be a solid starting option in Week 17.
