Should You Start or Sit Jordan Addison in Week 17?
Over the past two weeks, none of Jordan Addison’s 12 catches have gained 20 yards (previously, in his career, one of every 4.2 receptions picked up 20 yards).
Sheesh, Kyle, talk about nitpicking.
It should be viewed as a badge of honor when I do something like that; it means that a player has produced at such a level that they deserve that sort of attention. Over his past six games, Addison has averaged 2.4 yards per route and produced 33.2% over fantasy expectations. He’s been phenomenal, which means he can be flexed with confidence this week.
In the Week 4 meeting with the Packers, he scored twice: once on a 29-yard pass in the first quarter and the other on a nice second-quarter run design. That was back in September, and the Vikings were scheming ways to get him involved. Given the recent run, they are only more motivated to feature him, and with the Packers traveling on a short week, I think you can feel just fine in riding this heater for another week.
