Should You Start or Sit Addison in Week 16?
Jordan Addison got behind the defense on Sunday night for a 58 yard reception.
I’m not minimizing that, Justin Jefferson managers might sacrifice a finger for such a play, but that look accounted for half of Addison’s targets in the win (fifth on the team in targets).
I don’t think J.J. McCarthy is going to continue to struggle to get on the same page as one of the three best receivers on the planet for much longer, so the fact that Addison has been able to step up during those struggles is a real concern.
We knew entering this season that there was regression concert for the former Trojan who held a touchdown-to-target rate that was simply too good to be true through two seasons. The TD variance I was prepared for, but he remains inconsistent in terms of winning targets and that’s where I draw the line.
Some weeks look better than others (10 targets against the Seahawks less than a month ago), but playing him means you need to hit a parlay: a high effort game from him AND an accurate spot from McCarthy.
Is that the bet you want to have to cash in order to advance through this week?
