Jordan Addison Start or sit, Week 5

This week's outlook

Addison carries no injury concern into a Saints matchup that could offer scoring chances if Minnesota's passing game clicks. At $5800 on DraftKings, his recent output has been thin, with just 1 catch for 8 yards in his last game logged. A clear target share bump would be needed to trust him as a confident starter this week.
