Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Jordan Addison

Sunday, April 19, 8:14 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has the talent to produce as a fringe top-24 fantasy receiver every week, but quarterback issues have plagued his fantasy value recently. After opening his career with back-to-back top-24 finishes in PPR leagues, Addison dropped to WR45 in 2025. Sure, he did miss three games due to a suspension, but his average of 9.7 fantasy points per game was still a career low. The USC product suffered from playing with a combination of J.J. McCarthy, Max Brosmer, and Carson Wentz. Those quarterbacks struggled to support fantasy relevance for Justin Jefferson, let alone both Jefferson and Addison. As a result, there's some concern about Addison's outlook in dynasty leagues. The Vikings have control of McCarthy for three more years, and they also signed Kyler Murray, who played so poorly in Arizona that the Cardinals released him from his $230.5 million extension. We never saw Murray support multiple fantasy-relevant receivers at once, and so far, McCarthy has struggled to do the same. As a result, managers should temper expectations for Addison. He's not an appealing dynasty trade target at the moment.
