Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Matthew Golden

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.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden had the most productive game of his young career in Week 4 against the Dallas Cowboys, recording five catches for 58 yards on six targets. Through four games, Golden has 11 catches for 126 yards on 14 targets. The 22-year-old has seen his usage and snap count go up since the Packers lost wideout Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) to injury in Week 2. However, Green Bay could be getting Christian Watson (knee) back from a knee injury that sidelined him for the first four weeks of the season shortly after the team's Week 5 bye. Golden has plenty of upside, but he will likely remain difficult for fantasy managers to trust given Green Bay's crowded wide receiver room. Golden's next chance to make an impact will be in Week 6 when the Packers take on the Cincinnati Bengals.
