Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Saturday, October 4, 6:07 AM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has seen his production dip in recent weeks, as younger playmakers in the offense continue to carve out larger roles. In Week 4 against the Bears, Meyers caught just four of seven targets for 30 yards, with his longest reception going for only 10 yards. The outing marked his third consecutive game with declining yardage totals, raising concerns about his ceiling moving forward. Despite those struggles, Meyers still led the team in targets last week, showing he remains a trusted option for Geno Smith in the passing game. While the lack of big plays limits his upside, his steady volume keeps him relevant as a flex play, particularly in PPR formats. Fantasy managers should view Meyers as a safe but low-ceiling option heading into Week 5.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his excellent start to the 2025 season by recording eight catches for 132 yards and a touchdown on nine targets against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. Smith-Njigba has been one of the most productive wide receivers in the NFL so far this season. Through five games, the 23-year-old has 34 catches for 535 yards and two touchdowns on 43 targets. Smith-Njigba profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver regardless of opponent.
