Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Josh Downs

Sunday, November 23, 4:01 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison did not record a catch and saw only one target as the Vikings lost 23-6 on Sunday at Green Bay. The Minnesota offense reached a new low on Sunday by running only 44 plays for 145 yards, which included a brutal four total yards in the entire second half. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy completed 12 passes for 89 yards and threw two more interceptions without a touchdown. Addison was never a factor as Minnesota attempted to control the game on the ground, but fell behind and saw the Green Bay pass rush overwhelm the offensive line for five sacks. Managers have now seen a month straight of little performance from Addison, whose Vikings are at Seattle next week.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs should be well-rested as he comes out of a Week 11 bye to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 12. Downs has been up and down this season as he is not enjoying the high volume that he has in past seasons. That being said, he scored a touchdown in three straight games in October and early November. The Chiefs have been tough on receivers this season, allowing just the 27th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Downs isn't exactly a safe play but he's worth a look as a flex option/WR5 in deeper leagues, especially if your team is dealing with several players on their bye in Week 12.
