"Austin started the regular season on New Orleans' practice squad and didn't see the field until being called into action Week 10. He went on to play in the final eight games of the regular season, as the Saints' receiving corps was extremely depleted while wideouts Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) were sidelined for the final nine and 11 games of the season, respectively. Austin played at least half of the offensive snaps in all but one of his eight appearances, but he never logged more than three receptions in any of these contests. Instead, wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling and tight ends Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau (knee) all commanded more targets than Austin over this stretch. Austin is slated to become an exclusive rights free agent following the 2025 season."

"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 facing a potential suspension (likely 1-3 games), 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."

"Though he and the Vikings went out of the playoffs with a whimper, Addison turned in a strong sophomore campaign. He finished the regular season with 63 catches on 99 targets for 875 yards and nine touchdowns while adding three carries for 20 yards and an additional score. On a per-game basis, Addison's production was nearly identical in comparison to his rookie season -- he played in two fewer games in 2024 and finished with seven fewer catches, 36 fewer yards and one less receiving touchdown. Addison has proven himself as a productive No. 2 wideout behind star receiver Justin Jefferson, and Addison is set to continue in that role next season in what will be the third year of his rookie contract. The Vikings' quarterback situation in 2025 isn't yet settled, however. Incumbent starter Sam Darnold is heading into unrestricted free agency, and if he departs, Minnesota could turn to 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy (knee) under center."
