Jordan Addison

McCarthy told Kay Adams on Monday that Minnesota coaches had not named him the starter after the team said last week it would not pursue Aaron Rodgers "at this time." Coming off a knee injury that cost him his entire rookie campaign, McCarthy appears to be the favorite for the team's Week 1 starting job. His recovery and performance in training camp could complicate things, however. NFL Network reported last week that the Vikings had rejected trade calls for McCarthy this offseason. McCarthy would certainly be set up for success in Kevin O'Connell's QB-friendly system: The pass-catching trio of Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and TJ Hockenson represent one of the best in the league.

The Vikings signed WR Rondale Moore to a one-year deal. Moore missed the entire 2024 season after hurting his right knee in August. Injuries have been a big problem for Moore, who missed 12 games over his first three NFL seasons. He averaged 4.3 catches and 39 yards over the first two but just 2.4 catches and 21 yards the last time we saw him in 2023. Moore turns just 25 in June, so we're not quite ready to bury him. But he's a long shot for 2025 fantasy value in Minnesota behind Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson.
