The Vikings are undefeated no more. Despite losing several players on defense — including linebacker Jack Campbell — the Lions were able to beat the Vikings 19-15 behind an outstanding performance from running back Jahmyr Gibbs. Gibbs put the Lions ahead with a 30-yard touchdown midway through the third quarter. He finished the game with 153 yards on 23 carries, plus two catches for 15 yards. Sione Vaki was also valuable in the run game, taking 11 carries for 65 yards. Goff finished 18-of-25 for 176 yards with a touchdown and an interception. On the other side, Kyler Murray had a middling day, going 17-of-29 for 210 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. His best throws of the day came on a drive in the fourth quarter, with a 51-yard bomb to Jordan Addison leading to an 8-yard touchdown pass to T.J. Hockenson. But Murray was also the team’s leading rusher with 35 yards on four attempts, signaling the ineffectiveness of the run game. Murray and the Vikings’ offense continued to struggle to get the ball to Justin Jefferson, who had just five catches for 33 yards with a touchdown on nine targets. The Fox broadcast showed Jefferson expressing some frustration on the sideline toward the end of the game. Of the several injuries suffered by the Lions’ defense, linebacker Jack Campbell’s was the most concerning. Campbell was taken off the field immobilized on a backboard and transported to a local hospital to evaluate a neck injury after going down in the second half. With the win, the Lions improve to 5-2 after consecutive divisional wins. The club will be on the road to face the Dolphins in Week 9. Minnesota falls to 6-1 with its first loss of the season. The Vikings will be at home to face the Bills on Monday night next week
Jordan Addison's inconsistent involvement in the Vikings' passing attack continues, making him a tough trust ahead of a Week 9 matchup against the Buffalo Bills
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has not been an easy fantasy option to trust this season. The 24-year-old has mostly been avoidable outside of a 90-yard performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3. This past week, Addison finished with two receptions on three targets for 20 yards in the win over the Indianapolis Colts. Fantasy managers can be hopeful for better results against the Detroit Lions defense in Week 8. A defensive unit that ranks last in the league by allowing 291.8 passing yards per game. They've allowed 16 passing touchdowns through the first seven weeks of the season. This seems like a prime time for Addison to have a breakout game. Addison is ranked as Rotoballer's No. 30 wideout and seems like a playable flex option for Week 8
Jordan Addison caught 2-of-3 targets for 20 yards in the Vikings 16-10 win over the Colts. It was a low volume day for the entire Vikings passing attack. Addison remains a volatile WR3/WR4 for fantasy managers
The NFL season is coming more into focus every week, and it's somehow wilder than anyone imagined. The Browns and Giants are both in first place in their divisions, which is probably not what everyone expected before the year began. The Chargers and Rams are -- *squinting* -- in last place, also not quite what everyone expected. It's a good reminder that this league can go any way at any moment, so you can't assume what you saw last week has any bearing on what we might see in the future. That's what makes it so much fun.

But I really saw something with the Vikings offense two weeks ago against the Saints , and think they might be ready to start catching up to the defense performance-wise. The Colts defense isn't going to provide a ton of resistance towards Kyler Murray and Co. blossoming, the Vikings are getting Jordan Addison back. They should be healthy/refreshed off the bye and might be in line for an offensive breakout here. Oh and if not ... well the defense and Brian Flores insane-o blitzing should give Daniel Jones plenty of trouble. Pretty monster total here -- easily the highest on the week -- but we're not shying away from points in this spot. Both of these teams are capable of making monster splash plays down the field and neither has the defense to stop the opposing pass games. The Lions are 5-0 to the Over so far this season and even if they get defensive reinforcements, I find it hard to believe things are going to get fixed overnight. The Packers are just 2-4 to the Over, but they're more than willing to get involved in a shootout if the other team is ripping off big plays like the Lions should be at home in this choice environment. Josh Jacobs back or not, I'd think we still get plenty of chunk plays in the passing game and it's possible his return only opens up the passing game more. It looks like there's a chance that a +5 pops up at some point here, so feel free to wait until Sunday for this one. And yes, we are taking the Dolphins ! The winless, very stinky Dolphins. But these winless, stinky porpoises have been kind of frisky in the two weeks before their Week 6 bye, keeping it close against the Vikings and Bengals , both of whom are pretty good teams that are elite on one side of the ball. The Jets are not nearly as strong and maybe shouldn't be laying more than a field goal to anyone, even Miami. The Jets defense is more than willing to give up late scores, opening us up for a backdoor cover if they're not right in the mix for the entire game, which I think they will be.

Addison caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts. He added three yards on his lone carry. No Viking caught more than four passes on the afternoon, and Justin Jefferson was the only member of the team to see more than five targets, so Addison's poor numbers were more a result of his offense's struggles overall than his own performance. The fourth-year wideout has still has only one big game in his five appearances so far, with 90 of his 183 receiving yards and his only TD coming Week 3 against Tampa Bay. Addison will try to break out in Week 8 against a struggling Lions secondary

For the first time since the opening quarter of the season, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray will have his full complement of pass catchers when the team plays host to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7. Receiver Justin Jefferson (ankle), tight end T.J. Hockenson (concussion), and receiver Jordan Addison (hamstring) do not carry injury designations into the game, giving the veteran quarterback a boost after the offense played its best game before a Week 6 bye. Even better for fantasy managers is that Murray deftly used his trademark running ability last time out, extending several plays for first-down throws and scrambling 10 times for 51 yards. The Colts, who rank dead last in pressure percentage and tied for 32nd in turnover rate, present another opportunity for Murray to perform like a QB1 again. He's RotoBaller's No. 13 quarterback this week
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (hamstring) has no injury designation for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic. Addison missed Minnesota's Week 5 victory over New Orleans but practiced in full Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday following the team's bye. He has caught 11 passes for 163 yards and one touchdown through four games, with his best outing coming against Tampa Bay in Week 3 when he recorded five receptions for 90 yards and a score. Addison will return to a receiving group featuring healthy starters Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson, making him a WR4 with flex appeal in deeper fantasy leagues
Justin Jefferson was a full participant in practice on Thursday after being limited Wednesday due to an ankle injury. The Vikings' bye week provided extra time for recovery. Other notable full participants included OT Brian O'Neill (knee) and CB James Pierre (foot), along with WR Jordan Addison (hamstring)
by Leo Sells | Vikings Correspondent | Wed, Oct 21st 2026, 2:38pm EDT Jordan Addison (hamstring) will take part in Minnesota's practice on Wednesday. ( Alec Lewis on Twitter ) Fantasy Impact: Addison is going to be at practice on Wednesday after missing Week 5's game with a hamstring issue. He has had a bye week in between to heal, so he may be fully healthy for Week 7, but we won't know for sure until later on in the week. Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell says WR Jordan Addison will also practice today. https://t.co/694MbH9XkR Category: Injury Updates | More Jordan Addison : News , Rankings , Projections , Stats Add FantasyPros on Google
Head coach Kevin O'Connell said Addison (hamstring) will participate in practice Wednesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. Addison sat out the Vikings' last game Week 5 at New Orleans due to a sore hamstring, but with the benefit of a bye week, he at least appears as if he'll go down as a limited participant to kick off Week 7 prep. Wednesday's practice report will reveal his activity level
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (hamstring) will practice Wednesday, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert, as the team prepares to host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7. Addison missed Minnesota's 23-13 victory over New Orleans on October 11 after being limited in the final two practices leading up to the game. The Vikings' Week 6 bye gave the 24-year-old extra recovery time, and he has recorded 11 receptions for 163 yards and one touchdown across four appearances this season. Addison had become more involved before the injury, catching nine passes for 142 yards and a touchdown across Weeks 3 and 4. He also played 75 of 78 offensive snaps against Miami in his most recent appearance. His return would put him back alongside Justin Jefferson to re-form Minnesota's primary receiving duo, giving quarterback Kyler Murray another established target heading into Sunday's matchup
