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

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver continued his unbelievable 2025 campaign with a 162-yard explosion against the Jaguars in Week 6. Smith-Njigba is positioning himself in such a way that gives him a legitimate shot at finishing as the WR1 overall in fantasy. JSN has developed a quick chemistry with quarterback Sam Darnold. He has scored at least 18.3 PPR fantasy points in every game but one this season. He is already on pace to top his career high of six touchdown receptions as well. Smith-Njigba's production is matchup proof. He seems to be able to find room against zone coverage and beat defensive backs in man coverage with ease. Darnold continues to look for Smith-Njigba in every situation. Houston will provide an interesting test for JSN in Week 7, but he should absolutely remain in every lineup.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden led the team with 86 receiving yards in Week 6 against the Bengals and added 16 yards on a pair of rushes as well. The Packers seem to be focused on getting the first-round pick more involved in the offense, and the playmaker is starting to look more comfortable in the NFL in his last few games. Romeo Doubs continues to be a more reliable security blanket for Jordan Love, but Golden brings more deep play potential. How exactly Christian Watson (knee) will fit into the mix once he's ready to come off the PUP list is uncertain. Golden brings enough upside, though, to be a great waiver wire pickup if you need a WR3 or flex play this week against the Cardinals. He hasn't had his elusive "breakout" game yet, but it still seems like it could be just around the corner.
