Who Should I Start? Justin Jefferson or Jordan Addison

Friday, November 14, 6:47 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is yet again a WR1 when the Vikings play host to the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The superstar has been quieter than normal during the past month as backup quarterback Carson Wentz and second-year starter J.J. McCarthy lead the charge for an up-and-down offense, but Jefferson still has been earning a ton of targets. McCarthy has targeted Jefferson 21 times in the past two weeks but only connected on 10, though the pair collaborated for a tide-turning touchdown in the first meeting against Chicago that sparked a fourth-quarter comeback. The Bears rank 24th against PPR receivers, offering a chance for Jefferson to break his cold streak. The Vikings likely will be erratic as they break in a 22-year-old QB, but the matchup and Jefferson's ability should have the superstar locked into lineups in all formats.

With the Minnesota Vikings struggling for consistency as they break in a young quarterback, wide receiver Jordan Addison is a fringe starting option in standard formats against the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The third-year man from USC looked to be developing a legitimate chemistry with quarterback J.J. McCarthy during training camp and the preseason, but that has yet to come to fruition in a regular-season game. Addison drew a whopping 11 targets last week, but caught only three for 35 yards as the Vikings tried and failed to make up a multi-score deficit in the fourth quarter against Baltimore. Since a 128-yard outburst against Philadelphia in Week 7, Addison has 109 receiving yards in the past three games combined. There is potential in the matchup against a Bears secondary that ranks 24th against PPR receivers, but Addison should be viewed as high-risk, high-reward WR3/flex, given the offense's unpredictability.
