Should You Start or Sit Addison in Week 12?
Justin Jefferson’s struggles and discontent with what is going on in this passing game grab the headlines, but let’s not act like Addison is having himself a good time.
He’s earning targets, but much like Jefferson, they are largely empty with JJ McCarthy spraying the ball all over the place. Addison has caught five of 18 targets over the past two weeks, and while he bailed you out with the short touchdown against the Bears, this is a thin profile at best.
Now, there was a drop from Addison that was going to be a chunk play at worst and had the potential to turn into a 61-yard score, so he wasn’t far from this write-up having an awfully different spin. That said, he didn’t make the play.
Half of his targets in those two games have come 15+ yards downfield, and I wonder if Kevin O’Connell tries to get his young QB on track with layup targets before asking him to look vertical.
If that’s the case, Jefferson is likely to receive a high rate of feed, but I’m not sure the same would apply to Addison. This week, he grades as a hazardous flex play, which I’m placing in the same range as Xavier Worthy/Alec Pierce, two boom/bust types who play in the same game this weekend.
