Who Should I Start? Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Brian Thomas Jr.

Sunday, November 23, 5:18 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught eight of his 10 targets for 167 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 12 win against the Tennessee Titans. He also had a four-yard rush. The 23-year-old entered this week as the overall WR1 in PPR leagues, and he only widened the gap between himself and every other receiver with Sunday's explosion. The 23-year-old now has at least 20 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his last seven games, as well as nine of 11 games this season. It goes without saying that Smith-Njigba should be viewed as a must-start WR1 for Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice session, according to the team's official website. Thomas has missed three straight games after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Jacksonville's Week 9 win over the Raiders, and has yet to log a full practice since then. The second-year wideout is expected to return in Week 13 against the Titans, and will hope to finish the season strong after a disappointing first eight games. Thomas has just 30 receptions for 420 yards on 60 targets with two total touchdowns as he's struggled mightily with drops, tying Jerry Jeudy for the league lead with nine. Thomas will project as a WR3 in Week 13 against the Titans, assuming he is able to return.
