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

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was arguably the best pass-catcher in football in 2025, recording 119 receptions for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns on 163 targets. While Smith-Njigba's overall numbers are dominant, his production dropped off slightly down the stretch of the season. After topping 100 receiving yards in eight out of his first 11 games of the year, he hit the century mark just once over his final six contests. Smith-Njigba was also held out of the end zone in three of his last four games. Still, Smith-Njigba earned at least eight targets and recorded six receptions in five straight outings to close the year, and he logged at least 14.4 PPR fantasy points in all but two regular-season appearances. With the Seahawks earning a bye through the first round of the NFC playoffs, Smith-Njigba's first postseason opponent is not yet known. However, regardless of opponent, Smith-Njigba profiles as a high-end wide receiver option for fantasy managers in playoff leagues.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman, who has been a healthy scratch for several games this season, is expected to play in the team's Wild Card matchup with the Jaguars and could see an expanded role, according to Cameron Wolfe. Joshua Palmer has been downgraded to Out ahead of Sunday's contest, leaving Coleman and Khalil Shakir firmly atop the wide receiver depth chart. With the two of them combining for just over 1,000 yards and four touchdowns on the year, one or both will need to take a monumental leap forward if Buffalo hopes to notch its first road playoff victory since 1992. Josh Allen is 0-4 in road playoff games and will be looking for contributions from his receiver room wherever he can find them.
