Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Tetairoa McMillan

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.

Ironically, Carolina Panthers rookie first-round wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan had a season-low 29 receiving yards on just three receptions in the 30-27 win over the visiting Dallas Cowboys in Week 6 on Sunday, but he made up for it by finding paydirt for the first two times in his NFL career. McMillan was targeted five times by quarterback Bryce Young, which tied for the team lead with running back Rico Dowdle. The 22-year-old from Arizona scored from 19 and two yards out, respectively, to salvage his fantasy day. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned with his low-yardage output against Dallas, as it's been clear that McMillan will lead the Panthers in yards, catches, and targets when all is said and done in 2025, as long as he stays healthy. He has a tough matchup upcoming against cornerback Sauce Gardner and the New York Jets in Week 7, but McMillan needs to remain in all starting fantasy lineups.
