Who Should I Start? Justin Fields or Jordan Addison

Thursday, June 26, 12:34 AM

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields is impressing the coaching staff this offseason with his work ethic as he heads into his first season with the team. "He's going out there and he's busting his a-; trying to be the best quarterback he can be for this team. Everybody sees that and I like that," head coach Aaron Glenn said. The biggest knocks on the former first-rounder in 2021 by the Chicago Bears were accuracy issues and his processing at the line of scrimmage. "The biggest takeaway I would say is that this guy is just a workaholic," offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand said. If Fields can improve his accuracy and decision-making while throwing to college teammate Garrett Wilson, he could become the long-term answer in New York and give fantasy managers clear QB1 upside given his elite rushing abilities. The 26-year-old has a high floor as a QB2 because of his rushing prowess.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison's trial date in connection to his 2024 DUI citation is now set for July 15 in the Superior Court of California. Addison pleaded not guilty in December. Even if Addison is found not guilty, it's possible he'll face a suspension from the league during the 2025 season. A potential suspension hanging over his head makes him more volatile of a fantasy asset heading into his third NFL season. The 23-year-old former 23rd overall pick in 2023 out of USC took a slight step back in his second year in the league in 2024, but he was still plenty effective in Minnesota's offense with 63 catches on 99 targets for 875 yards and nine touchdowns in 15 regular-season games. Addison missed two games with an ankle sprain. He's not a heavy target guy with Justin Jefferson around, and it's uncertain how his chemistry will be with QB J.J. McCarthy. Target Addison as a WR3 in fantasy.
