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

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.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (cramping) has returned to Sunday's contest against the Detroit Lions, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The star wideout exited the game in the fourth quarter due to a cramping injury. However, he was able to quickly return, suggesting this injury was not overly serious. Managers should keep an eye on his status during the week leading up to their Week 16 contest on Thursday evening in case he faces a setback. Nacua has enjoyed a stellar showing during this game, catching nine of his 11 targets for 181 yards, which is on track to be a season-high.
