Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Michael Wilson

Friday, December 20, 5:33 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will square off against the Seattle Seahawks in a road matchup this Sunday. The 22-year-old will look to continue a stretch of strong performances against a beatable Seahawks defense. Since Week 11, the second-year wideout is the WR5 in PPR formats -; racking up 30 receptions, 473 yards, and five touchdowns on 44 targets. He's been the clear second option for quarterback Sam Darnold recently and even outperformed superstar teammate Justin Jefferson several times over that frame. Seattle has been stingy in the yardage department, but they're in the league's top half regarding fantasy points allowed per game to wideouts (33.4). Addison ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR26 ahead of this weekend's slate of action.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson remains a risky WR3/FLEX play in deeper leagues as he prepares to take on the Carolina Panthers. The 24-year-old has been a beacon of availability this season, playing at least 66 percent of offensive snaps in all 14 games. He has a modest stat line of 41 catches, 482 yards, and four touchdowns so far, ranking 52nd among wide receivers in terms of fantasy points (PPR). He had come on strong with 25.2 fantasy points between Weeks 13 and 14, but he dropped down to just 2.9 points with a pair of catches for nine yards last weekend. This week, Wilson faces the Panthers, who have been mediocre in terms of defending wide receivers. Carolina has allowed the 14th-fewest fantasy points to slot receivers this year, as well as the 12th-most fantasy points to receivers who play out wide. For context, Wilson has taken 212 snaps from the slot (30.6 percent), which is the 34th-most among NFL receivers. Managers can certainly justify starting him in deeper fantasy formats, but we'd advise looking elsewhere for production in leagues with 12 teams or fewer.
