Fantasy Tiers

Jordan Addison: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #49 at the position). Ryan Flournoy: Tier 5 (Deep League) WR (ranked #55 at the position).

Jordan Addison vs Ryan Flournoy: The Full Breakdown

Jordan Addison (8.1 PPG) and Ryan Flournoy (7.2 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two wide receivers are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Jordan Addison played 14 games for the Minnesota Vikings; Ryan Flournoy suited up 13 times for the Dallas Cowboys.

A 0.9-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.

Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Jordan Addison turned 79 targets into 610 yards and 3 touchdowns, while Ryan Flournoy converted 56 looks into 475 yards and 4 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Jordan Addison sits Week 6 while Ryan Flournoy is off Week 14. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Jordan Addison (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Ryan Flournoy (age 26) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
