Fantasy Football Player Notes

Some people were nervous last summer that QB Sam Darnold could drag down Justin Jefferson's fantasy output. Jefferson finished with 103-1.533-10 and was WR2 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring. We probably shouldn't worry about a receiver as great as Jefferson being dragged down by second-year QB J.J. McCarthy, who'll be seeing his first regular-season action for the Vikings.

Jordan Addison is only 23 years old, and he's already had a 10-touchdown season and a nine-touchdown season in the NFL. Despite having to share targets with Justin Jefferson, Addison has finished WR21 and WR20 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring the last two years. If your rivals are concerned that Addison plays with a top receiver and will be playing with a quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, who hasn't taken a regular-season snap, capitalize on the discount. However, Addison will miss the first three games of the season while serving a suspension related to a DUI arrest.
