J.J. McCarthy

Addison's injury is a bit concerning, as is QB J.J. McCarthy's erratic play. McCarthy had a decent last week though, and the Cowboys' pass defense is relatively fantasy-friendly. Addison is a low-end WR3 in what could be a high-scoring game environment.

He seems to be trending towards playing, though what we can expect out of him is a bit of a wild card at this point given J.J. McCarthy's up-and-down play and the tight-end focused attack the Vikings featured last Sunday. Addison is probably toeing the WR3 line solely on the basis of a matchup against the Cowboys pass defense so long as he makes it to Sunday healthy.

Darrisaw has had a pattern of not practice, practicing limited, and eventually playing due to his knee injury. This week, he starts out not practicing and should not be in jeopardy of missing Week 15 unless he cannot practice at all this week. The franchise left tackle is a key blocker for J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings offense.
