Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Puka Nacua

While Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy has had his share of struggles as he adapts to the NFL, wide receiver Jordan Addison accepted blame for Minnesota's issues in the passing game last week. The Vikings dropped six passes in Sunday's loss against Chicago, including two by Addison, both would-be first downs, one of which had a chance to score a long touchdown. "If I make those types of plays, we win. No doubt," Addison said, according to The Athletic. The third-year receiver had two catches for 20 yards and connected with McCarthy on the go-ahead touchdown in the final minute, but the Vikings' lax kick coverage quickly gave up the advantage as the Bears kicked a field goal as time expired. From a fantasy perspective, Addison has now had four straight weeks of fewer than four catches, making him difficult to trust in standard formats for the time being.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua should continue to be deployed as a WR1 in all fantasy football leagues ahead of his Week 11 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Outside of a brief injury blip a handful of weeks ago, Nacua has been a high-end WR1 every week, producing 66 catches for 775 receiving yards and four touchdowns so far. He ranks as the #4 wide receiver in total fantasy points this year, and he's tied with Rashee Rice for #1 in fantasy points per game. This week's matchup against Seattle is noticeably tough, as the Seahawks have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Nevertheless, Nacua is one of those players who you put in your lineup and forget he's there. He should be started as a high-end WR1 every week, and Week 11 is no exception.
