Should You Start or Sit Jordan Addison in Week 16?
Addison is going to be the poster child for players like Rome Odunze and Xavier Worthy this offseason — rookie receivers who put good film out there before coming into their own during Year 2.
Here is the entire list of receivers with more than 40 targets since Week 11:
- Puka Nacua: 52 targets (130 routes)
- Jakobi Meyers: 51 (218)
- Ja’Marr Chase: 51 (180)
- Jerry Jeudy: 50 (213)
- CeeDee Lamb: 50 (174)
- Keenan Allen: 49 (201)
- Amon-Ra St. Brown: 49 (203)
- DJ Moore: 46 (207)
- Malik Nabers: 46 (168)
- Tyreek Hill: 44 (194)
- Jordan Addison: 44 (169)
- Brian Thomas Jr.: 43 (150)
- Davante Adams: 42 (150)
- Justin Jefferson: 42 (187)
I’m not suggesting that we have a WR committee in Minnesota or anything like that, but the ability to earn targets at effectively a St. Brown rate over an extended period of time while Jefferson is healthy is downright impressive.
It should be noted that Addison’s aDOT over that stretch trails only Jeudy of the names on that list. On the whole, I’d read that as a positive, as the ability to earn targets with that level of consistency downfield is even more difficult to do. However, the Seahawks focus on taking away those shot plays.
Through 15 weeks, Seattle owns the second-lowest opponent aDOT, which is why I have a little hesitation about locking in Addison ahead of a Ladd McConkey type with a safer floor.
The second-year star still ranks as a top-25 receiver for me and can be started in most spots. I just wanted to provide a little bit of context, as it is very possible that you have Addison rostered alongside a trio of stars.
