Who Should I Start? Elijah Moore or Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Sunday, October 1, 10:25 PM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught two of his four targets for 20 yards and lost 20 yards on his lone carry in a 28-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4. Moore and the rest of the Cleveland offense struggled to get anything going with rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson making his first NFL start on Sunday. After the quiet outing, Moore will head into his bye in Week 5 with 17 catches for 148 scoreless yards in four games. After his bye, Moore will take on the San Francisco 49ers at home in Week 6.

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.
