Should You Start or Sit Jordan Addison in Week 7?
It feels like a while ago now, but remember Week 5?
We woke up early to watch the Vikings in London, only to not see Jordan Addison on the field at all early. Those of us who flexed him mourned losing our week before having breakfast: it really was quite the buzzkill before most Sundays even get started.
But after the first quarter, he began seeing the field at his normal rate, and before you know it, he’s hauling in a contested touchdown with 25 seconds left to give the Vikings the win over a stingy Browns team.
As it turns out, it was a disciplinary thing that held him out early, and while I’d prefer my fantasy players stay out of that sort of trouble, his play on the field was encouraging (five catches for 41 yards and the touchdown on six targets).
During the final three quarters of that victory, he led the Vikings in targets, and while I don’t think he’s any sort of threat to Justin Jefferson’s role as the WR1, let’s not forget that this man has proven himself as a touchdown maker.
Most TD receptions by an NFC North player in his first 34 career games since 2000:
- 20: Addison
- 19: Justin Jefferson, Greg Jennings, and Roy Williams
- 17: Calvin Johnson and Sam LaPorta
- 15: Kenny Golladay and Jayden Reed
The off-the-field behavior has been sporadic, while the on-the-field stuff has been anything but. His per-target production in two games this season yardage-wise is a minor red flag (outside of an 81-yard grab where the Steelers apparently thought he was still suspended, he’s turned 13 targets into just 74 yards), but that’s nitpicking given the QB situation.
Addison is a plenty viable flex on a weekly basis based on touchdown equity alone, nevermind the potential for a 23-year-old to develop further and find his groove after missing the first three weeks.
