Jeremiyah Love or Jordan Addison: Who Should You Start?
2026 Week 3 · deterministic head-to-head · Verdicts based on PPR scoring.
Love edges Addison, but the call is narrower than their rank gap suggests
Love gets the nod on his stronger consensus standing and a small projection edge, but that forecast gap is modest for skill players. Addison’s much larger role and better scoring setup are real advantages; his vertical WR2 role makes that opportunity less dependable than the snap count implies. Arizona’s verified 43% snap usage confirms Love is still in a committee [azcardinals.com 2026-09-25], and the low team scoring outlook leaves him needing explosive plays to outperform that role.
What flips it: A meaningful target-volume increase for Addison while Love remains in a committee.
