The Minnesota Vikings will face the Los Angeles Rams on Wild Card Weekend. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Jordan Addison.

Should You Start or Sit Jordan Addison on Wild Card Weekend?
Addison earned just three targets and put just 22 yards on the board in Week 8 against these Rams (27 routes), but that was before his breakout. Since Week 11, only eight receivers have scored more PPR points than Addison – that comes with Justin Jefferson functioning at full capacity (he’s WR6 over that stretch).
The Rams are the worst playoff team against the pass in terms of yards per attempt, something that could allow Addison to break the slate should he find himself on the end of a long play or two, giving you leverage on all of the Jefferson teams.
While he seems to have established himself as a suitable Robin to Jefferson’s Batman, there is no denying the risk. T.J. Hockenson’s playing time is on the rise, Jalen Nailor is still around, and we did just see him produce a dud in the most important game of the season (one catch on six targets for zero yards in Detroit). He’s far from bust-proof, but he’s priced in the George Pickens/Zay Flowers tier. That’s a fine spot to land if your roster build puts you there.
Full disclosure, I’m paying up a touch for Terry McLaurin or Cooper Kupp before going this direction.
