Who Should I Start? Garrett Wilson or Jordan Addison

Friday, October 17, 12:25 PM

Updating a previous report, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) is listed as doubtful to play on Sunday in Week 7 versus the Carolina Panthers, according to The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov. A previous report suggested Wilson had already been ruled out for this weekend. The 25-year-old will most likely not be on the field this Sunday at MetLife Stadium after hyperextending his knee in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos in London. The good news for the Jets and for fantasy managers, though, is that Wilson could be in play to miss only one game and return in Week 8 to face the Cincinnati Bengals. With Wilson likely out this weekend, Josh Reynolds (hip) and rookie tight end Mason Taylor figure to draw most of the attention from quarterback Justin Fields, who is planning to be more aggressive as a passer as the Jets seek their first victory of the year. At best, Reynolds will be a volume-based WR4/flex streamer in fantasy.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is a solid WR3/Flex candidate as the Vikings are set to play host to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7. The Vikings will start quarterback Carson Wentz with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) officially listed as questionable and likely to be the team's emergency third quarterback, though Addison performed well in his lone opportunity with Wentz, connecting for a game-winning touchdown against Cleveland. Further, Philly hasn't impressed on defense so far this year. The Eagles are struggling to disrupt quarterbacks, ranking 27th in pressure rate, and also ranking near the bottom of the league in defensive average depth of target. As always, Addison is going to be in the shadow of Justin Jefferson, but the former USC standout has shown regular home run potential. With a good matchup on Sunday, he's an option in most formats.
