Who Should I Start? Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Travis Hunter

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught four passes for nine yards in Week 18 against the Los Angeles Rams. Smith-Njigba was invisible in a game in which quarterback Geno Smith threw four touchdown passes. What's worse, JSN had a chance to break wide receiver Tyler Lockett's single-season team receptions record. He fell one reception short of breaking the record. Overall, Smith-Njigba had a great season. He will finish with 1,130 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 100 receptions. Fantasy managers should be ecstatic about Smith-Njigba heading into next season. He is clearly Smith's No. 1 target, and he has displayed that he has the talent to be a high-end producer for fantasy. While his Week 18 was disappointing, the future is bright for JSN.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said at training camp on Wednesday that rookie first-round wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter will practice on both offense and defense after like the first six or so practices in camp. After that happens, Coen said Hunter playing on both sides of the ball on the same day in practice will "kind of become the norm." From the start, the Jaguars have incorporated the Heisman Trophy winner much more on offense, but he will soon be working on both sides of the ball. The Jaguars front office said that the 22-year-old is more naturally comfortable on defense, which is why they feel he needs more work on offense to start. Hunter certainly has the physical abilities to become the WR2 in Jacksonville in 2025 behind Brian Thomas Jr., but how much is he really going to be on the field on offense? He will probably be overvalued in fantasy drafts this fall.
