Who Should I Start? Jordan Addison or Xavier Worthy

Friday, November 7, 6:08 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is a suitable WR3/flex option when his team takes on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. The third-year receiver is coming off back-to-back underwhelming weeks, but should step into a friendlier matchup against a Ravens secondary that ranks 23rd against PPR receivers. The Vikings earned their biggest win of the season last week behind quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who helped the Vikings top the Detroit Lions, though they completed just 14 passes for 143 yards in doing so. Addison, however, has averaged 6.8 targets per game since his return from suspension and should continue to see a better volume as the offense acclimates to its young quarterback. Fellow receiver Justin Jefferson remains the team's top target, yet Addison has a favorable matchup and enough volume to consider playing him in most formats.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 9. Worthy caught five passes for 53 yards in the 28-7 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 8. Last week marked Worthy's third game of the season with at least five receptions. With Rashee Rice stepping back into the WR1 role and Travis Kelce reemerging as a top option, the speedster may continue to be relegated to a tertiary role in the Kansas City offense. That said, Worthy was able to put up a decent stat line regardless of the blowout, and he may be able to build on that this week. Worthy and the Chiefs face the Bills, who have allowed the ninth-fewest points to opposing wide receivers this season. Even with his diminished workload, Worthy is still an explosive player and can break off a long play at any moment. Worthy is ranked WR28 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, placing him just outside WR2 but firmly in WR3/Flex territory this week.
