Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Rome Odunze

Sunday, October 5, 1:52 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison saved the day for both his team and managers who started him Sunday with a late touchdown grab that turned the tide in a 21-17 Vikings victory, finishing the day with five catches on six targets for 41 yards and a touchdown. Unknown to the general public prior to the game, Addison (coach's decision) was held out of the entire first quarter after being benched, the latest incident after he began the year with a three-game suspension. Addison atoned, however, with an athletic 12-yard touchdown catch in which he got both feet down and fell inside the pylon to score with 25 seconds remaining. As long as wide receiver Justin Jefferson is healthy, Addison won't be Minnesota's top target, but he has performed well enough alongside the All-Pro to be a consistently playable fantasy WR3/Flex option.

Chicago Bears wideout Rome Odunze gets a homecoming matchup this week in Las Vegas, where he grew up. The second-year receiver is off to a blazing start, catching 16 of 27 targets for 227 yards and a league-leading four touchdowns. He's established himself as Chicago's WR1, logging a 95% snap share and running a route on 100% of dropbacks. Odunze now draws a favorable matchup against a Raiders defense that has surrendered the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Big plays have already burned this secondary, with Terry McLaurin, Kayshon Boutte, and Quentin Johnston all finding success. In a game projected to feature plenty of scoring, Odunze profiles as a low-end WR1 for Week 4.
