Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Quentin Johnston

Friday, November 14, 6:43 PM

With the Minnesota Vikings struggling for consistency as they break in a young quarterback, wide receiver Jordan Addison is a fringe starting option in standard formats against the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The third-year man from USC looked to be developing a legitimate chemistry with quarterback J.J. McCarthy during training camp and the preseason, but that has yet to come to fruition in a regular-season game. Addison drew a whopping 11 targets last week, but caught only three for 35 yards as the Vikings tried and failed to make up a multi-score deficit in the fourth quarter against Baltimore. Since a 128-yard outburst against Philadelphia in Week 7, Addison has 109 receiving yards in the past three games combined. There is potential in the matchup against a Bears secondary that ranks 24th against PPR receivers, but Addison should be viewed as high-risk, high-reward WR3/flex, given the offense's unpredictability.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (shin) is expected to be active for Sunday's meeting with the hosting Jacksonville Jaguars, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Johnston led the team in targets during last weekend's 25-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, simultaneously sustaining a shin injury. Despite starting the week with consecutive limited practices, the TCU product was able to upgrade his status to full on Friday, hinting that he should be good to handle his typical allotment of snaps when they take on the Jags. Johnston has seen his early-season production tail off in recent weeks, though he remains a solid WR3/flex asset with the potential for a big play. If he's unable to suit up, rookie wideout Tre' Harris would be in line for an uptick in snaps behind Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey.
