Who Should I Start? Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Ladd McConkey

Friday, December 12, 4:57 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is right back in the mix as a WR1 in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts. Smith-Njigba has just one dud this season. Outside of his 4.8 fantasy point performance against the Vikings in Week 14, JSN has been an absolute league-winner this year. Smith-Njigba has been matchup-proof this season, and his play has been great both at home and on the road. To add to the excitement for the week, the Colts are No. 27 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy this season. As if JSN needed more space to operate, the Colts have been very leaky in the secondary, even since adding cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf). Additionally, Gardner has been ruled out for this game. RotoBaller currently has Smith-Njigba ranked as the No. 1 wide receiver for the week, and rightfully so. If you have JSN on your team for the first week of the fantasy playoffs, you should be very excited about the production you may be about to experience.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) was cleared from the injury report Friday and will play in Week 15's divisional matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. McConkey was limited every day in practice this week with a foot injury, but he will head into Sunday without an injury designation. The second-year wideout is coming off one of his least productive games of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles, recording just one catch for 12 yards on five targets. It marks his second game this season with just one catch, with the other coming back in Week 4. McConkey will look to rebound against the Chiefs, whom he faced back in Week 1 and tallied six catches for 74 yards on nine targets. The second-year wideout will have a higher fantasy ceiling if receiver Quentin Johnston (calf) is ruled out.
