Jaylen Waddle vs Jordan Addison: Who Should You Start?
Two wide receivers who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Jaylen Waddle (Denver Broncos) finished the 2025 season averaging 10.1 fantasy points per game in 16 games. Jordan Addison (Minnesota Vikings) came in at 8.1 PPG over 14 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Jaylen Waddle carries a 2.0-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Jaylen Waddle turned 100 targets into 910 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Jordan Addison converted 79 looks into 610 yards and 3 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
Jaylen Waddle has his bye in Week 14, and Jordan Addison rests in Week 6. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
