Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Jordan Addison

Thursday, November 13, 2:25 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) failed to practice on Thursday, putting his availability in doubt when the team faces the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Bateman has appeared in every game for the Ravens this season, logging 16 receptions for 194 yards and two touchdowns. With Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews leading the team, Bateman has taken a backseat this season. The 25-year-old has recorded just two games of over 50 receiving yards, making him a shaky start even when healthy. Bateman's absence could leave even more opportunities for the team's top receiving options, and could give DeAndre Hopkins an increased snap share as well.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is a suitable WR3/flex option when his team takes on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10. The third-year receiver is coming off back-to-back underwhelming weeks, but should step into a friendlier matchup against a Ravens secondary that ranks 23rd against PPR receivers. The Vikings earned their biggest win of the season last week behind quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who helped the Vikings top the Detroit Lions, though they completed just 14 passes for 143 yards in doing so. Addison, however, has averaged 6.8 targets per game since his return from suspension and should continue to see a better volume as the offense acclimates to its young quarterback. Fellow receiver Justin Jefferson remains the team's top target, yet Addison has a favorable matchup and enough volume to consider playing him in most formats.
