Who Should I Start? Garrett Wilson or Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Sunday, September 24, 8:39 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson secured five of his nine targets for 48 yards in a 15-10 loss to the New England Patriots. Wilson was once again the clear favorite target for quarterback Zach Wilson, but his fantasy output was disappointing given the volume of opportunities he received. Although Wilson is a special talent, trusting any weapons on New York's offense is difficult right now. The 23-year-old will be a WR3 or flex option for a Week 4 bout with the Kansas City Chiefs.

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.
