Who Should I Start? Jameson Williams or Jordan Addison

Friday, November 14, 11:46 PM

Through nine games this season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has recorded 27 catches for 474 yards and four touchdowns on 43 targets. Encouragingly for his fantasy outlook, the majority of the 24-year-old's production has come in recent weeks. Williams has now recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in three out of his last four games, including a season-high 119 receiving yards in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. Williams and the Lions will face a much tougher test in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia has allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (1,979) in the NFL, and they are tied with the Denver Broncos for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed (eight). However, the Lions will be without tight end Sam LaPorta (back). That could lead to a few extra targets for Williams, particularly if Detroit is chasing points. Williams still has bust potential, but he profiles as a solid fantasy WR3 in Week 11.

With the Minnesota Vikings struggling for consistency as they break in a young quarterback, wide receiver Jordan Addison is a fringe starting option in standard formats against the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The third-year man from USC looked to be developing a legitimate chemistry with quarterback J.J. McCarthy during training camp and the preseason, but that has yet to come to fruition in a regular-season game. Addison drew a whopping 11 targets last week, but caught only three for 35 yards as the Vikings tried and failed to make up a multi-score deficit in the fourth quarter against Baltimore. Since a 128-yard outburst against Philadelphia in Week 7, Addison has 109 receiving yards in the past three games combined. There is potential in the matchup against a Bears secondary that ranks 24th against PPR receivers, but Addison should be viewed as high-risk, high-reward WR3/flex, given the offense's unpredictability.
