Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Jaxon Smith-Njigba

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is off the injury report and good-to-go for Sunday's divisional match against the Washington Commanders. Brown opened the week as a non-participant and then logged two limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. However, this injury seems rather minor as Brown is already off the injury report. Last weekend, Brown enjoyed a nice performance catching eight of his 11 targets for 110 yards and a score. Since Week 6, the top wideout has averaged a solid 15.8 PPR points per game with 82.7 yards per game. With Brown expected to see his typically workload, he should be viewed as a must-start WR1 despite facing a Washington secondary that recently welcomed back Marshon Lattimore.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is in an excellent position to succeed in Week 16. The Seahawks are hosting the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings have been one of the worst teams at stopping opposing passing games in fantasy this season. Part of that is due to the fact that the Vikings are so adept at stopping the run. However, their struggles in the passing game are very real. Smith-Njigba has slid into the No. 1 wide receiver role in Seattle's offense this season. He is six yards away from his first 1,000-yard season and he has scored five touchdowns. Smith-Njigba should see plenty of volume this week. The Seahawks are likely going to have to air it out to keep up with the Vikings and avoid their run defense. Smith-Njigba has WR1 upside as a result.
