Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Rashid Shaheed

Friday, October 24, 12:34 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison caught three of his four targets for 26 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 8 loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. Addison's trip to the end zone came on a four-yard reception with fewer than five minutes remaining in the third quarter. The touchdown salvaged his fantasy performance and brought him to four consecutive games with double-digit fantasy points (PPR). He's averaging 16.0 fantasy points per game since his season debut in Week 4, which is tied for the 17th-highest average among all NFL receivers during that span. He's a solid low-end WR2 heading into Week 9 against the Detroit Lions.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed led the team with nine targets in the Week 7 loss to the Bears. The speedster caught four passes for 40 yards, marking his sixth straight game with exactly four receptions. Shaheed remains the clear No. 2 option behind Chris Olave, and without the explosive downfield plays, his upside remains capped. He continues to profile as a boom-or-bust player on a weekly basis, and will try to break through against a Buccaneers secondary allowing 7.0 yards per pass attempt and 229.0 passing yards per game.
