Who Should I Start? Calvin Ridley or Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Sunday, October 1, 10:56 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught two passes on two targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in a win against the Falcons in London. The 30-yard touchdown catch saved the former Alabama star's day, as the two targets marked a season-low. Jacksonville's defense was surprisingly able to control the game, which could have led to Ridley's low volume, but it's still a bit concerning moving forward. Ridley takes on the stout Bills pass defense next weekend.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was targeted five times in Week 1 and six times in Week 2, but he is not yet threatening the workloads of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. The 21-year-old has only been on the field for 58% of snaps and the targets he has seen are at an average depth of just 1.9 yards. In Week 3 against the Panthers, Smith-Njigba will line up against Jimmy Chinn or Troy Hill, who have managed most of the slot corner snaps for Carolina in the first two weeks of the season. Smith-Njigba is definitely worth holding but the only reason to start him in Week 3 is if Metcalf (ribs) is ruled out.
