Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Ricky Pearsall

Sunday, December 1, 6:32 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison brought in 4-of-6 targets for 54 yards in Week 13's 23-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Addison's targets, reception total, and yardage output were all good for second on the team behind superstar wideout Justin Jefferson (7/99). While it wasn't anything eye-popping, it's the second-year WRs fifth straight outing with at least five targets. It will be difficult for him to consistently put together monster stat lines, as he did back in Week 12 (8/162/1). Still, he's a quality WR2 for an NFL squad and should continue to see a good amount of looks while in the lineup. He'll get a soft spot in Week 14 against an Atlanta Falcons defense that allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to wide receivers (421.6) through 11 games.

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was a non-factor during a 38-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday. Despite a healthy snap count, Pearsall was not targeted. His only touches came as a punt returner, where he was filling in for fellow rookie Jacob Cowing (concussion). In the third quarter, Pearsall limped off the field after getting rolled up on but was back on the field for the next series. A few weeks ago Pearsall appeared to be building some momentum, demonstrating escalating involvement which peaked with a 15.3 half-PPR performance in Week 10 at Tampa Bay. But in the two games since then, he has zero combined receptions and just two targets. Pearsall has a bright future but as long as Jauan Jennings is healthy, Pearsall figures to be untrustable for fantasy managers fighting for a 2024 playoff berth. His next chance to get involved will be a Week 13 matchup versus the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football.
