Vikings seek more targets for wide receivers Addison and Jennings in Week 2
Summary

The Minnesota Vikings are looking to enhance the roles of wide receivers Jordan Addison and Jauan Jennings in their upcoming game against the Chicago Bears on September 17, 2026. In the season opener against the Green Bay Packers, star receiver Justin Jefferson dominated, accounting for 92 of the team's 151 receiving yards and scoring two touchdowns. Addison and Jennings both went without receptions, which is a concern as the Vikings aim for a more balanced offensive approach. With running back Jordan Mason placed on Injured Reserve, increased contributions from Addison and Jennings are essential for the Vikings to succeed against a strong Bears offense.
