Who Should I Start? Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Ricky Pearsall

Monday, November 17, 1:08 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his historic season in a 21-19 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, catching nine of his 12 targets for 105 yards. Smith-Njigba failed to surpass the 100-yard mark last week against the Cardinals as he didn't play much in the second half, but he has cleared it in four of his past five games and seven of 10 games overall this season. The 23-year-old managed to post a dominant line despite quarterback Sam Darnold having his roughest game as a Seahawk with four interceptions. Smith-Njigba's floor for production is incredibly high, and the ceiling is also massive when Seattle plays in more high-scoring games, which we haven't seen many of this season. The superstar wideout has ascended to a new level this season and will rank as one of the best wide receivers in fantasy for Week 12 against the Titans.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) returned in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals for the first time since spraining the PCL in his right knee way back in Week 4. Pearsall played a healthy 75% of the offensive snaps in Week 11, but he was targeted only two times by quarterback Brock Purdy, catching one of them for no gain. The 25-year-old was a full participant on Thursday in the first practice of the week, heading into a Week 12 game on Monday night against the Carolina Panthers. A full week of full practices could help the former first-rounder become more involved on game day this week in his second game back. The Niners were up big for most of the day last Sunday against Arizona, so they didn't need to air the ball out. The game script should be more favorable in Week 12, and Pearsall should be more involved as he continues to get his legs back under him.
