Who Should I Start? Justin Jefferson or Jordan Addison

Friday, September 15, 12:19 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in 11-of-13 targets for 159 yards with a lost fumble in Thursday's 34-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 24-year-old had a solid first half before losing control of the ball while reaching for the goal line after a big 30-yard play near halftime. Jefferson then had a quiet third quarter before brewing again for three catches and 59 yards during a fourth-period drive which ultimately led to a K.J. Osborn touchdown. The reigning Offensive Player of the Year is now up to an astounding 20 receptions and 309 yards over his first two games, but is still searching for his first visit to the end zone. Jefferson should have a good shot at doing that in Week 3 versus a Los Angeles Chargers defense that was just pulverized by Tyreek Hill for a 11/215/2 receiving line in the season opener.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison caught 3-of-5 targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 34-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 21-year-old gave the Vikings a much-needed lift in the third quarter by showing off his route-running skills and beating Josh Jobe for a 62-yard score. Addison essentially split targets once again with K.J. Osborn, who flipped six targets into 34 yards and a score of his own, but he also committed a few drops. The 2023 first-round pick now has seven receptions for 133 yards and two TDs over the first two games of his career, and is certainly nipping at Osborn's heels for more snaps. Addison will continue vying for added playing time as an upside WR3/4 bet in a potential Week 3 shootout with the Los Angeles Chargers.
