Who Should I Start? Rico Dowdle or Jordan Addison

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle is one of the lone healthy players on the offense heading into Week 13. Despite Dallas' struggles running the ball behind a young offensive line, Dowdle grades as a flex option this week against a Washington defense that surrenders the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. Dowdle could see even more touches than usual if star receiver CeeDee Lamb (back, foot) misses Sunday's tilt, making him a high-end flex option. His ceiling is limited due to Dallas' offensive struggles, but Dowdle should be started in most formats with loads of byes across the league.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will be difficult to trust in Week 12 when his team takes on the Chicago Bears. The second-year wideout has seen his target totals tick up over the previous few contests but will be a risky play as little more than a WR4 this weekend against a Bears defense that's been stout against the pass. On the season, Chicago has averaged a paltry 15.4 receiving points allowed to opposing WRs -- the fourth-fewest total in the league. Additionally, they've intercepted more passes (nine) than touchdowns let up through the air (seven). Addison scored his third touchdown of the season last week -; a 47-yarder -; and has undoubtedly been more involved recently. Still, he ranks as just the PPR WR42 in RotoBaller's Week 12 ranks.
