Who Should I Start? Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Malik Nabers

Sunday, September 7, 10:00 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba hauled in nine catches for 124 receiving yards in his team's 17-13 Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Smith-Njigba completely dominated targets in the season opener, as he was targeted 13 times by Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold out of 23 total pass attempts. Smith-Njigba looked like his team's clear WR1 in his first game playing alongside veteran wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who was targeted just three times. Smith-Njigba could be on the verge of a superstar breakout and is a must-start fantasy wide receiver.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (back) was not given a game status on the team's final Week 1 injury report despite sitting out Friday's practice. With no injury designation, he is expected to be a full go on Sunday when the Giants open their season against the Commanders. Nabers has experienced minor ailments throughout training camp, and he missed Friday's practice due to back tightness. It appears, though, that the team is taking an extra cautious approach with their Pro Bowl receiver, and all signs point to him getting a full workload on Sunday. Nabers was electric as a rookie, making 109 catches in only 15 games, and reports out of Giants' camp indicate that he hasn't missed a beat with Russell Wilson now under center. Nabers should be started without hesitation, and he has a strong chance of being one of the week's highest scoring receivers.
