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

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) has been ruled out for the upcoming Week 4 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. As expected, Lamb won't suit up this weekend after suffering a high-ankle sprain during last week's loss to the Chicago Bears. Lamb is expected to miss multiple weeks due to this injury, but the team waited until Friday to officially rule him out. His absence should mean increased roles for George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert, and KaVontae Turpin. Also, tight end Jake Ferguson should also see a boost in value with Lamb sidelined.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught four of his five targets for 79 yards during Thursday's Week 4 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also rushed for 11 yards on three carries. All in all, it was a solid showing from Smith-Njigba, but nothing special. Additionally, fantasy managers might be surprised to see that the young receiver only had five targets and four catches. Both of these numbers tied for the team-high, but it's still noteworthy for fantasy football. Managers should rest assured that the Seahawks used a run-heavy approach on Thursday because they were leading by two scores for a large portion of the game. As a result, there weren't many passes to go around; Sam Darnold only threw the ball 26 times. Smith-Njigba's receiving volume should take a big jump in a potential shootout next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He continues to rank as a low-end WR1 for fantasy football.
