Should You Start or Sit Jordan Addison in Week 4?
Jordan Addison is back after having served a three-game suspension to open the season. Simple math had him projected for regression this season, as even the best this game has ever seen struggle to score on 14.3% of their receptions, Addison’s rate through two years.
Now, we have a backup quarterback situation to muddy the waters.
Aaron Jones being sidelined for at least the next three weeks should help stabilize Addison’s target share, but the value of those looks is questionable; this is a tough sell.
If you’re hurting for healthy options, I could understand going this direction in a flex situation. As a rookie, he scored in each of his first two games, and in his second game of last season, he found paydirt twice. In rostering Addison, you understand that you’re chasing a score, and that naturally comes with risk in this Carson Wentz world.
I’m taking a wait-and-see approach if at all possible.
