Who Should I Start? Jahmyr Gibbs or Jordan Addison

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is off to a hot start to the 2025 season with 350 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns on 78 total touches through his first four games of the season. Gibbs is set up well to continue that success in Week 5, when he gets a favorable matchup on paper against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati has allowed the seventh-most rushing yards and fifth-most rushing touchdowns in the NFL through four weeks. Gibbs is a lock to be a significant part of the Lions' offensive game plan, so volume of touches should not be an issue. In Week 5, Gibbs is a must-start fantasy running back across all formats.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is a high-risk, high-reward WR3/Flex option with his team set to take on the Cleveland Browns this week in London. Playing in his first game of the season last week, Addison erupted for 114 yards receiving, but Minnesota has a tougher task this week with three of their five starting offensive linemen ruled out of the game due to injuries. Against a Cleveland front allowing the fewest rushing yards per carry in the league, the Vikings will need to lean on their passing game, but will need several backups to hold up against the likes of Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett, which is looking pretty grim. Addison is a home-run hitter, but the Vikings' injury woes could severely limit their number of offensive snaps.
