Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Sunday, December 7, 11:41 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) is officially active for Sunday's divisional game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14. Olave dealt with some back spasms late last week but was eventually cleared to play against the Miami Dolphins and finished with four catches on seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the 21-17 loss. The 25-year-old was listed as questionable on the final Week 14 injury report, but he will be active again and should be considered a must-start in all fantasy football lineups. Olave ranks as the WR9 in half-PPR fantasy points in 2025 with 73 catches for 781 yards and five touchdowns on 115 targets despite having to work with quarterbacks Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough. The former first-rounder caught eight of 12 targets for 63 yards in the first game against the Bucs this year, back on Oct. 26.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba bounced back in a big way during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Smith-Njigba gave fantasy managers a dud last week when he finished with two receptions for 23 yards in the win over the Minnesota Vikings. The third-year wideout was much more involved this weekend. Smith-Njigba scored his first touchdown of the day on a 28-yard play in the third quarter. He found the end zone a second time on a four-yard pass in the fourth. The 23-year-old hauled in seven of his 10 targets for 92 yards and two scores in the blowout win. He'll look to continue his MVP-type season against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15.
