Should You Start or Sit Jordan Addison in Week 7?
Addison has appeared in three games this season and the results have been about what you’d expect — one top-10 finish and two outside of the top 50. He’s a talented receiver with plenty of pedigree, but his production as a rookie didn’t project as stable week-over-week.
With only two teams on a bye this week, my guess is that most of you won’t be pressed into playing Addison this week. Since returning from injury in Week 4, he’s been exclusively viewed as a deep threat (20.2 aDOT).
Could Minnesota scheme him opportunities to produce coming out of the bye? It’s possible, but the Lions have shown great growth up to this point in defending the long pass. That alone is enough for me to look elsewhere this week when filling out my lineup.
Addison will have to improve his efficiency to crack my top 30 in any given week. He caught just five-of-12 targets against a lesser version of this Detroit defense last season.
