News: 20 minutes agoAddison's suspension has been lifted by the NFL, which paves the way for the wideout to be available for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Spin: Addison was suspended for the first three games of the 2025 regular season for violating the league's Substances of Abuse Policy, but the 2023 first-rounder is now poised to return to action this weekend against the Steelers. The wideout is thus on track to resume practicing this week and should have an immediate opportunity to reclaim his key role in a Minnesota WR corps led by Justin Jefferson. Addison's looming return figures to impact the fantasy upside of Jalen Nailor and Adam Thielen, but will provide a boost to a passing attack that was helmed by QB Carson Wentz in Week 3 and likely will be for at least another week. In 15 regular-season games last year, Addison logged a 63-875-9 receiving line on 99 targets.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Addison returns for Year 3 in Minnesota having finished 23rd and 21st, respectively, in fantasy PPG during his first two NFL campaigns. Addison has been a TD machine, scoring 10 times in both seasons, which has helped offset underwhelming volume. He finished both seasons 25th or lower among WRs in targets, receptions and yards, as well as 40th or lower in target share. That led to boom/bust production last season, as he scored 43% of his fantasy points in three games and was held to single digits in seven of 15 outings. Addison is suspended three games to begin the 2025 season, but once he's on the field, he will continue battling for looks with Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson. His late-season target surge (eight-plus in seven of his final eight games) provides optimism that he can sustain WR3 numbers, especially in Kevin O'Connell's pass-friendly scheme.
