Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Tank Dell

Friday, October 17, 4:42 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is a solid WR3/Flex candidate as the Vikings are set to play host to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7. The Vikings will start quarterback Carson Wentz with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) officially listed as questionable and likely to be the team's emergency third quarterback, though Addison performed well in his lone opportunity with Wentz, connecting for a game-winning touchdown against Cleveland. Further, Philly hasn't impressed on defense so far this year. The Eagles are struggling to disrupt quarterbacks, ranking 27th in pressure rate, and also ranking near the bottom of the league in defensive average depth of target. As always, Addison is going to be in the shadow of Justin Jefferson, but the former USC standout has shown regular home run potential. With a good matchup on Sunday, he's an option in most formats.

The Houston Texans have yet to make an indication that wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) will return any time soon. Dell sustained a gruesome knee injury late last season, and there has been no update on his status. The sentiment surrounding the 25-year-old was that he'd likely miss the entirety of the 2025 season. While no news is good news -- insinuating that he hasn't had a setback in his recovery -- it's still a long shot that he'd be able to make his way back to the field by the end of the campaign. As of now, teammates Christian Kirk and Xavier Hutchinson will continue to operate behind the team's WR1, Nico Collins. However, rookies Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins could begin to push the veterans for playing time.
