Should You Start or Sit Jordan Addison in Week 8?
Giddy up!
I’m of the belief that this Kevin O’Connell offense is largely going to function in a similar manner no matter who is under center, so the fact that Jordan Addison was targeted on four of his seven first-quarter routes speaks volumes to me.
Included in that sample was a twisting 34-yard catch that could have been an even bigger gain had the pass been on target, but the ability to shake free and open windows was on full display last week against the Eagles.
Addison isn’t a threat to out-earn Justin Jefferson on any sort of consistent basis. That said, I’m not sold on this running game, and the Vikings project to have only two potential weather spots remaining on their schedule.
Nice conditions and an offensive savant is a good way to find flex value, especially when the subject of discussion is someone who has proven capable of scoring touchdowns in bunches.
Addison checks in as a low-end WR2/high-end flex for me this week, and that’s roughly where I’ll have him most weeks.
