Who Should I Start? Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Matthew Golden

Monday, November 3, 12:39 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught eight of his nine targets for 129 yards in Sunday night's 38-14 win over the Washington Commanders. Smith-Njigba continues his historic season with his fourth straight game recording at least 120 receiving yards. The 23-year-old superstar joined Hall of Famer Isaac Bruce as the only players under age 25 with 900 or more receiving yards in the first eight games of a season. His connection with quarterback Sam Darnold has been lethal and has helped lead the Seattle Seahawks to a 6-2 record. Seattle's passing volume is not high, but JSN has consolidated all of the targets and has fully ascended to superstar status. Smith-Njigba will remain a top-three fantasy option in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that rookie first-round wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice after getting injured in Sunday's upset loss to the Carolina Panthers, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Before getting injured in Week 9, Golden caught all two of his three targets for just nine yards. The 22-year-old was being hyped during training camp and the preseason, but he has underwhelmed so far in his first year in the NFL, catching 23 passes for 262 yards and no touchdowns on 29 targets over eight games (four starts). Golden's floor should be raised now that tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) is out for the year, but he still makes for a shaky WR4/flex if he's active for a Monday night showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. Golden has managed only nine catches (10 targets) for 50 yards in the last three games.
