Who Should I Start? Jalen Hurts or Jordan Addison

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts did not complete a pass in the second half of his game against the Buccaneers, yet still put up a respectable fantasy performance by throwing for two early touchdowns. Week 4 marked his third game with multiple scores, and his third time this season rushing for 40 or more yards. But, Hurts will have his toughest challenge yet in his upcoming contest against the Broncos. Denver's defense gives up just 16.8 points per game-tied for second-best in the league-and they're allowing the fifth-least points to opposing QBs in fantasy. Fortunately, the game is in Philly instead of Mile High, and Hurts has given managers no reason to bench him thus far. He's a high-end QB1 in Week 5.

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.
