Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Jordan Addison

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen once again proved to be quarterback Justin Herbert's most trusted option in the team's 23-20 win over the Denver Broncos, catching seven of 11 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown. The veteran commands a stellar 26.2% target share and a 40% red-zone target share over three games, making him a consistent scoring threat. Facing the 0-3 New York Giants' vulnerable secondary, Allen could be set up for an active day. Though the potential for the Chargers to lean on the run game if the score gets out of hand could slightly cap his volume. RotoBaller raises Allen to WR25 this week. He is a borderline WR2 and a strong start in all formats, especially PPR.

Set to play his first game of the season following a suspension, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is a high-end WR3/Flex with breakout potential against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Though the Vikings are playing with backup quarterback Carson Wentz, Addison will debut against a middling Pittsburgh defense against fantasy receivers. As usual, he'll benefit from the presence of No. 1 receiver Justin Jefferson, while the Vikings also saw positive signs last week from tight end T.J. Hockenson and running back Jordan Mason, all of which could provide the third-year receiver the opportunity to do damage as a regular deep threat. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell raved about Addison's training camp, and managers should feel pretty good that Addison can quickly resume being a fantasy relevant receiver again.
