Kyler Murray News

Jordan Addison A Strong Pickup With Kyler Murray Expected Back

Thursday, September 24, 6:45 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison and the rest of the Vikings passing attack is trending up with the return of Kyler Murray on the horizon. Addison has started the season off slow but that could change with Murray coming back from his opening-game injury. Addison was targeted five times in Week 2's win over the Chicago Bears with Carson Wentz at quarterback and hauled in two passes for 21 yards. That was after Addison failed to catch a pass on just two targets in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers. Addison is a capable WR2 for the Vikings behind Justin Jefferson and for fantasy teams when he is right. He has the potential of a capable pass-catcher lining up opposite of Jefferson. He is definitely trending in the right direction and could be a very wise pickup ahead of the Vikings matchup with the Buccaneers in Week 3.

Joe Burrow News

Joe Burrow Throws Two Touchdowns In Win Over Texans

Sunday, September 20, 12:28 PM

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed 20 of his 31 pass attempts (65%) for 207 yards and two touchdowns in the 20-6 victory over the Houston Texans. Despite being questionable with a back issue heading into this game, Burrow was able to do enough to pull out a win against a strong Texans defense. Burrow was sacked five times in the contest but stayed in, which is a good sign for his health moving forward. Burrow will look to keep the wins rolling against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3. The Steelers defense has racked up seven sacks, three interceptions, and a fumble recovery through two games this season, so Burrow could have his work cut out for him with a tough matchup. That said, the Bengals star QB just took on the strong Texans defense and was successful, so fantasy managers should be confident in his ability heading into next week. Burrow should be considered a strong QB1 for the upcoming week.
