Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Jordan Addison

Saturday, December 21, 3:24 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) is officially active for Saturday's divisional tilt against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bateman popped up on the injury report on Wednesday as a non-participant but was able to upgrade to limited participation on Thursday. He carried a questionable tag into today's game but was able to clear protocol. Last weekend, Bateman brought in three of his five targets for 80 yards and two scores. Over his past eight games, he has found the end zone five times and averaged 47.6 yards per contest. Fantasy managers should expect him to continue to operate as the No.2 wide receiver alongside Zay Flowers. Bateman should be viewed as a solid flex option in 14+ team formats and a high-upside, high-risk option in DFS facing a tough Pittsburgh secondary.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will square off against the Seattle Seahawks in a road matchup this Sunday. The 22-year-old will look to continue a stretch of strong performances against a beatable Seahawks defense. Since Week 11, the second-year wideout is the WR5 in PPR formats -; racking up 30 receptions, 473 yards, and five touchdowns on 44 targets. He's been the clear second option for quarterback Sam Darnold recently and even outperformed superstar teammate Justin Jefferson several times over that frame. Seattle has been stingy in the yardage department, but they're in the league's top half regarding fantasy points allowed per game to wideouts (33.4). Addison ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR26 ahead of this weekend's slate of action.
