Who Should I Start? Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Zay Flowers

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba should have an excellent game in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are not the best matchup for wide receivers because of their ability to get to the quarterback up front and deploy confusing coverages on the back end. However, JSN has been nothing but matchup-proof all season. Even in the toughest of matchups, Smith-Njigba somehow finds a way to push for 100 receiving yards and earn a scoring opportunity or two. At this point in the season, Smith-Njigba has established himself as one of the very best wide receivers in the league. He has a chance to become the first player to accumulate more than 2,000 receiving yards in a season. He is simply unstoppable. No matchup is going to keep JSN down this season. You can safely deploy him as a top-five wide receiver with upside for a No. 1 overall week in Week 13.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is quite possibly one of the most consistent options in PPR leagues. Not consistent as in always in the running for WR1 overall, more like consistently putting up average fantasy numbers that are good if he's the flex player every week. He still has a touchdown-less streak and non-WR1 streak going since Week 1. In Week 13, he'll take on the Cincinnati Bengals, who have rolled out quite the atrocious defense over the last couple of seasons. For fantasy purposes, however, the Bengals actually rank tenth against receivers and have only given up six receiving touchdowns all season. Rashod Bateman (ankle) also returns to the lineup, so Flowers is still projected as a mid-level WR2.
