Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is starting to regain momentum ahead of the 2026 NFL season. After a 2025 campaign described as uneven, Addison is now getting renewed attention in preseason discussions and has landed on a notable list of the league’s top No. 2 receivers.
That recognition came from Sports Illustrated’s Mike Kadlick, who included Addison in a ranking of the NFL’s 10 best secondary wideouts. The placement suggests that, despite questions following last season, Addison is still viewed as one of the more talented complementary pass catchers in the league.
For the Vikings, the buzz around Addison points to expectations that he can take a step forward this year. A strong 2026 season would help reinforce his value in Minnesota’s passing game and could shift the conversation away from the inconsistency that surrounded parts of his 2025 performance.
The early offseason attention does not guarantee results, but it does show Addison remains firmly on the radar entering the new season. As preseason storylines build, his ability to turn that recognition into steady production will be one of the more closely watched developments for the Vikings offense.
