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

Monday, November 10, 5:59 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) is expected to miss at least three to four weeks with a knee sprain that he suffered in Sunday's Week 10 victory over the Cleveland Browns, a source told Rich Cimini of ESPN. However, the good news is that Wilson won't require surgery. Wilson hyperextended his knee against the Denver Broncos on Oct. 12 in London and missed two games before returning to action on Sunday against Cleveland, only to suffer a setback with a knee sprain. The 25-year-old WR1 will now miss additional time, with fantasy managers now hoping he can return to contribute if they make the fantasy postseason (normally from Weeks 15-17). It's bad news for Wilson and the Jets' passing game, which has been the worst in football this year, averaging a league-low 148.8 passing yards per game. The Jets will ask Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson, John Metchie III, and Adonai Mitchell, among others, to step up with Wilson sidelined. None of those options is particularly intriguing for fantasy managers going forward. Running back Breece Hall led the Jets in receiving in Week 10 with a 42-yard reception that went for a touchdown.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba got off to a hot start during Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith-Njigba scored a 43-yard touchdown on the opening drive. He took a shot to the head later in the first quarter and was taken out of the game to be evaluated for a concussion. Luckily, Smith-Njigba was fine and returned to continue doing damage to this defense. He finished his day with five receptions on six targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in the win. Smith-Njigba becomes the first player this season to reach 1,000 receiving yards. He'll look to keep the good times rolling against the Los Angeles Rams next weekend.
