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

Saturday, November 22, 2:50 PM

Across seven games in 2025, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has recorded 40 catches for 557 yards and two touchdowns on 61 targets. Even with fellow Dallas wideout George Pickens in the midst of a breakout season, Lamb has earned double-digit targets in four out of the six games where he has played all four quarters. In Week 12, Lamb gets a difficult matchup when the Cowboys host the Philadelphia Eagles. For the season, the Eagles are tied with the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed (nine). Philadelphia has also played some of its best defense of late, holding the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions to a combined 16 points over the last two weeks. Still, in his first matchup of the season against the Eagles in Week 1, Lamb recorded seven catches for 110 yards on 13 targets and could have had an even bigger game if not for a couple of uncharacteristic drops. He remains a clear must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 12 against his division rival.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba should have an excellent game in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are not the best matchup for wide receivers because of their ability to get to the quarterback up front and deploy confusing coverages on the back end. However, JSN has been nothing but matchup-proof all season. Even in the toughest of matchups, Smith-Njigba somehow finds a way to push for 100 receiving yards and earn a scoring opportunity or two. At this point in the season, Smith-Njigba has established himself as one of the very best wide receivers in the league. He has a chance to become the first player to accumulate more than 2,000 receiving yards in a season. He is simply unstoppable. No matchup is going to keep JSN down this season. You can safely deploy him as a top-five wide receiver with upside for a No. 1 overall week in Week 13.
