Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Marvin Mims Jr.

Friday, October 3, 4:27 PM

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.

After dealing with hip and ankle injuries throughout practice this week, Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (hip, ankle) has been cleared and doesn't carry an injury designation against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Mims will look to stay hot coming off a six-catch outing for 69 yards with a 16-yard rush attempt for a touchdown on top of that. While the Eagles' 15th-ranked pass defense might be forced to focus more on Courtland Sutton, Mims will have a chance to flash while he takes the field for what seems to be a consistent trend of 40-50% of the offensive snaps. Although incredibly efficient with his offensive snaps, Mims can't yet be trusted as more than a boom/ bust flex option going into Week 5.
