Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Tank Dell

A beleaguered Minnesota Vikings offense did very little for most of a Christmas Day showdown against the Detroit Lions, but wide receiver Jordan Addison provided a late-game spark with a 65-yard touchdown run that changed the game in a 23-10 victory. Missing three offensive line starters, their top two quarterbacks, and their starting tight end, the Vikings threw for a miserable 51 yards passing behind undrafted rookie quarterback Max Brosmer, which led to one target and no catches for the third-year receiver. The Minnesota defense played an outstanding game by forcing six turnovers, and the offense finally came to life late in the fourth quarter with an end-around to Addison that clinched the game. Routinely a risky fantasy option, Addison came through with one big play this week. He and the Vikings will finish the season by playing host to the Green Bay Packers in Week 18.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) has been steadily rehabbing from the gruesome injury he suffered late last season against the Chiefs, working his way back toward full strength. During Houston's Week 3 broadcast, analyst Ross Tucker mentioned that he saw Dell running sprints, which is an encouraging sign in his recovery process. The 25-year-old has been on the sideline during a recent Texans game, but there is still no clear sign of him returning anytime soon. For now, the Texans will continue to rely on Nico Collins, who left Monday night with a concussion, along with rookies Jaylin Noel, Jayden Higgins, and Xavier Hutchinson at receiver.
