Who Should I Start? Mike Williams or Jordan Addison

Tuesday, September 26, 6:15 PM

The Los Angeles Chargers officially placed wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and signed receiver Simi Fehoko to the active roster from the Pittsburgh Steelers' practice squad in a corresponding move. The Bolts also signed safety AJ Finley to their practice squad. Williams suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee in the Week 3 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues can safely drop him now. The 28-year-old will finish 2023 with 19 catches on 26 targets for 249 yards and a touchdown in three games. With Williams now out, Joshua Palmer will be LA's No. 2 behind Keenan Allen, and first-round rookie wideout Quentin Johnston will also be thrust into a much bigger role moving forward.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will look to keep his strong start to his rookie season going as the Vikings take on the Chargers in Week 3. Addison has found the end zone in each of his first two games this season, and he now draws a matchup with the Chargers' secondary that has looked abysmal, allowing a league-high 9.6 yards per attempt. Addison could do some damage on limited volume in this one, as he has caught just seven passes through two games, however, the USC product has turned it into 133 yards and two touchdowns. Addison will have to compete for targets with Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson, but quarterback Kirk Cousins has attempted 44 in both games this season. He is by no means a must-start, but fantasy managers can treat him as a FLEX option this week.
