Jordan Addison Is High-Risk, High-Reward In Return From Injury

Friday, October 23, 12:18 PM

Wide receiver Jordan Addison is a boom-or-bust fantasy option when his Minnesota Vikings take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7. The good news is that Addison did not appear on the Vikings' final injury report after missing the team's win in New Orleans with a hamstring ailment, and the speedster will see a favorable matchup against an Indianapolis defense that has struggled in almost every way. The Colts have allowed points at the third-highest rate in the league, forced turnovers at the lowest rate, and pressured the quarterback less often than any other team in the NFL. The bigger issue for managers who roster Addison is that his volume has been difficult to predict, as he, quarterback Kyler Murray, and top receiver Justin Jefferson have been on the field together for less than a full quarter this season. Always a deep threat, but on an offense that has struggled most of the year, Addison is a WR4 candidate reliant upon a few home run swings. He's RotoBaller's No. 40 wide receiver this week.

Rams Optimistic Puka Nacua Will Play vs. Raiders in Week 7

Sunday, October 25, 4:22 AM

The Los Angeles Rams are "optimistic" that wide receiver Puka Nacua (calf) will be able to play in Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Nacua is listed as questionable, and he was trending in the wrong direction after missing practice on Friday. However, it sounds like he has made progress since then, and he has a real chance to suit up on Sunday afternoon. Presumably, he'll undergo a pregame workout to confirm his availability before the Rams post their list of inactive players at 2:55 p.m. CDT. Nacua has continued to play at an elite level lately, catching 32 passes for 343 yards and one touchdown over his last three games. There's no indication that he'll be limited on Sunday, but even if Nacua isn't quite 100%, he should still be deployed as a high-end WR1 in fantasy football lineups.
