Who Should I Start? Deebo Samuel or Jordan Addison

Sunday, October 1, 11:14 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel was not targeted in the passing game in the team's 35-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Samuel (knee, ribs) was questionable coming into the game and disappointed fantasy managers who, when it was announced he would play on Sunday morning, figured he was in line for his usual hefty target share. One can only speculate at this point whether it had anything to do with the injuries, or if this was just your run-of-the-mill clunker as he took a back seat to the Christian McCaffrey show. Samuel did receive three carries but only managed six yards. He'll look to rebound in Week 5 when he faces a robust Dallas Cowboys defense at home on Sunday Night Football.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will look to keep his strong start to his rookie season going as the Vikings take on the Chargers in Week 3. Addison has found the end zone in each of his first two games this season, and he now draws a matchup with the Chargers' secondary that has looked abysmal, allowing a league-high 9.6 yards per attempt. Addison could do some damage on limited volume in this one, as he has caught just seven passes through two games, however, the USC product has turned it into 133 yards and two touchdowns. Addison will have to compete for targets with Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson, but quarterback Kirk Cousins has attempted 44 in both games this season. He is by no means a must-start, but fantasy managers can treat him as a FLEX option this week.
