Should You Start or Sit Jordan Addison in Week 15?
There are three players in the league with multiple 8-130-1 receiving games this season — two of the names you’d expect and the other is the header to this section of this novel.
- Ja’Marr Chase (three)
- Nico Collins (two)
- Jordan Addison (two)
There is certainly a defensive component to that (four of those seven games have come against the Ravens or Bears), but there is also a specific type of receiver that is capable of rattling off games like this.
All of those WRs have a career yards-per-catch average of at least 14 yards with over 7.5% of their career receptions resulting in touchdowns. I’m not the least bit optimistic that Addison’s stock flirts with those other two names long-term, but explosion spots like what we saw last week are going to happen (8-133-3).
Addison was a star the last time these teams met (8-162-1), and with the Bears allowing the fourth-most yards per pass this season, that tracks. In that game, Justin Jefferson was held to just two grabs for 27 yards as Chicago devoted all of their resources to slowing him down.
If you’re optimistic that they employ that strategy again, by all means, fire up Addison with confidence. You do need to be aware of the risks that come with this profile — he’s been held under 45 receiving yards five times in 11 games this season.
He’s pushing for top-30 status for me this week, lower than you might assume coming off of the monstrous Week 14.
