Who Should I Start? Justin Jefferson or Jordan Addison

Friday, November 7, 6:11 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is yet again a WR1 option when his team plays host to the Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed opposing teams to score on 48% of their drives, the fourth-highest rate in the NFL. Baltimore ranks 23rd against PPR receivers this season and has allowed the seventh-most air yards on the season, though the Ravens have looked significantly improved during the past month, during which they've allowed their past three opponents an average of 13 points. Behind quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who is playing for the first time after missing his entire rookie season and five games this year, the Vikings threw for only 143 yards last week in a win at Detroit. Even in a light week, Jefferson still drew nine targets and caught a touchdown, which should inspire some optimism as Minnesota sticks with McCarthy full-time. Though Minnesota figures to have some bumps in the road with a young quarterback, Jefferson is too good to be held in check for long stretches.

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.
