Who Should I Start? Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Marvin Harrison Jr.

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.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon has ruled out wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) for the Week 15 game on Sunday versus the hosting Houston Texans, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. Harrison will now miss his fourth game in the last five weeks. He also missed Weeks 11 and 12 following an appendectomy. Gannon expects Harrison to return this year, though. "He's doing a lot better," the head coach said. With three games remaining after this week, the 23-year-old former first-rounder could return, so fantasy managers still alive in the playoffs need to hang on. With Harrison out again this weekend, Michael Wilson should be peppered with targets yet again and should be considered a must-start in all fantasy formats, even against the top defense in the NFL. Through 27 NFL games, Harrison has not lived up to his draft stock of fourth overall. He has a 40-594-4 line in 2025 in 10 games played.
