Who Should I Start? CeeDee Lamb or Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Sunday, October 1, 8:26 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb scored a touchdown in a Week 4 win over the New England Patriots. With the Cowboys dominating on defense once again, the offense didn't need to do much, but Lamb caught four passes on six targets for 36 yards. His touchdown came on a 20-yard pass from Dak Prescott at the end of the first quarter. Lamb should be back on his WR1 trajectory in a Week 5 game against the San Francisco 49ers.

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.
