The Vikings offense is loaded in every way, at every position. Of course, with a high-powered offense like the Vikings', they come with some notable fantasy football assets.
During the 2026 season here on Vikings Wire, we will review all fantasy-relevant skill players for the team and share whether they are worth a start.
Each position has players that can help or hurt your fantasy team, so this will be a form of start or sit. In this piece, we will be looking at wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Each will be getting their own breakdown, starting with the former All-Pro.
Justin Jefferson - Start
Justin Jefferson could be playing with the most gifted quarterback of his career when he plays with Kyler Murray on Sunday. Jefferson reached 1,000 yards with less-than-ideal
quarterback play in 2025, so imagine what he can do in 2026 with Murray. Whether Murray is good or not shouldn't impact Jefferson. He is going to push the ball down the field and allow him to produce in a meaningful way for fantasy. He can be a WR1 in lineups in Week 1 against the Packers.
Jordan Addison- Start
Addison has a chance to find success for all the same reasons as Jefferson does. The only difference is that instead of being a WR1, Addison should be plugged in as a WR2 or flex option until we see what sort of target share he will be able to obtain. Jauan Jennings and T.J. Hockenson will take away some, but the homerun threat that Addison is allows him to be in that WR2 margin still.
