Who Should I Start? Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Puka Nacua

Sunday, November 23, 5:18 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught eight of his 10 targets for 167 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 12 win against the Tennessee Titans. He also had a four-yard rush. The 23-year-old entered this week as the overall WR1 in PPR leagues, and he only widened the gap between himself and every other receiver with Sunday's explosion. The 23-year-old now has at least 20 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his last seven games, as well as nine of 11 games this season. It goes without saying that Smith-Njigba should be viewed as a must-start WR1 for Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua continues to be a must-start fantasy option for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old has put together another phenomenal season; he ranks as the overall WR3 in fantasy scoring this season, and he would be in the running for the top spot if he hadn't missed time due to injury earlier this year. Despite playing fewer than two-thirds of the offensive snaps in each of his last three games, Nacua has totaled 19 catches, 234 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns during that span. This week, he gets a relatively favorable matchup against the Bucs, who have allowed the 15th-most fantasy points, 11th-most receptions, and eighth-most receiving yards to opposing receivers in 2025. Nacua ranks as the overall WR2 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings, which puts him in the list's top tier.
