Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Keon Coleman

Friday, October 31, 4:48 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison remains a quality WR3/flex option when his team takes on the Detroit Lions in a Week 9 meeting of NFC North foes. It remains to be seen how the USC product meshes with starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy, with whom Addison has never appeared in a regular-season game. McCarthy has played in just two games since the start of 2024, and Addison was suspended for both of them. Addison has a decent matchup against a Lions team that has surrendered 14 passing touchdowns in seven games, which is one of the worst marks in the league, but Minnesota has had major issues protecting the quarterback. The Vikings rank 31st in sack rate and managed a miserable 47 plays last week in a loss to the L.A. Chargers, though Addison accounted for the team's only touchdown. Addison has shown steady fantasy appeal this season, giving managers reason to believe he can perform even in the midst of the Vikings' struggles.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has continued to see looks as a top-three option in the passing game heading into Week 9. Coleman has garnered 39 targets, resulting in 27 receptions for 267 yards and two touchdowns through seven games. Despite trailing Khalil Shakir in targets, Coleman has led the Bills in snap share in all but one game this season. With the 22-year-old wideout seeing consistent reps, his target load should only grow as quarterback Josh Allen continues to build trust with his second-year weapon. Coleman is on pace to improve upon his rookie campaign, which saw him haul in 29 receptions for 556 yards and four touchdowns. With the Bills taking on a stingy Chiefs defense, Coleman could see enough looks to sneak into lineups as a flex play in deeper leagues.
