Who Should I Start? Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Keon Coleman

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba will look to follow up his stellar Week 1 performance in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. JSN displayed early chemistry with new quarterback Sam Darnold in the team's home opener. His nine receptions for 124 yards both led the team by a long shot. Smith-Njigba looked the part as well, constantly getting open and putting himself in position to succeed. The Steelers just got torched by New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson in Week 1. Wilson proved that the Steelers' defense may not be as scary as many thought it would be, at least not to start the season. Regardless, Smith-Njigba seems to be a perfect fit in the new Seahawks offensive scheme, which should make him matchup-proof. He was the WR12 in Week 1, and he has a great opportunity to finish as a WR1 once again this week.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman was viewed as a breakout candidate entering the season, and he lived up to the billing in a Week 1 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Coleman led the Bills in catches (eight), targets (11), yards (112), and touchdowns (one) against a strong Ravens secondary. He'll face another major challenge this week with New York Jets shutdown cornerback Sauce Gardner on the opposing side. Gardner performed brilliantly in a Week 1 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, giving up just one catch for 11 yards to No. 1 receiver DK Metcalf. He lined up across from Metcalf on 30 of 34 passing plays, according to Next Gen Stats, and Coleman could be in for a similar fate this week. That's not to say Coleman won't produce - Metcalf still finished with four catches for 83 yards, as he didn't exclusively match up against Gardner - but there should be wariness going into Week 2 against an elite corner.
