Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Quentin Johnston

Friday, September 15, 12:32 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison caught 3-of-5 targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 34-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 21-year-old gave the Vikings a much-needed lift in the third quarter by showing off his route-running skills and beating Josh Jobe for a 62-yard score. Addison essentially split targets once again with K.J. Osborn, who flipped six targets into 34 yards and a score of his own, but he also committed a few drops. The 2023 first-round pick now has seven receptions for 133 yards and two TDs over the first two games of his career, and is certainly nipping at Osborn's heels for more snaps. Addison will continue vying for added playing time as an upside WR3/4 bet in a potential Week 3 shootout with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston only made one catch in a 27-24 overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. Johnston saw two targets, making the one catch for seven yards. The Chargers passing game spread the ball around to nine different targets, focusing on Keenan Allen and Mike Williams for eight catches each, not leaving much for any other pass catchers. Johnston has the talent to be a serious factor in the NFL, but fantasy managers will need to continue to be patient with him before they see consistent results.
