Who Should I Start? Jaylen Waddle or Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is in a great matchup in Spain this week as his team takes on the Commanders as part of the NFL International Series. Waddle caught five of his seven targets last week against the Bills and finished with 84 receiving yards and his fifth touchdown of the season. He has operated as the clear No. 1 receiver in Miami since Tyreek Hill's knee injury, and he has at least five catches and 80 yards in five of his last six games, including three touchdowns and a 100-yard performance. The Commanders have allowed the third-most fantasy points to receivers this season, and since he'll get so much attention from Tua Tagovailoa this week, Waddle checks in as the No. 13 WR in RotoBaller's rankings, making him a fringe WR1 and an excellent WR2 this week. He should be started in almost all formats.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba should be fine against a mid-tier Rams passing defense on Sunday. The Rams are No. 17 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. While the Rams' defense has been solid against the run, they have allowed opposing wide receivers to get loose. Some of that is due to garbage time with the Rams often dominating games, but the Seahawks boast a quality offense that should have success in Week 11. JSN has an incredible floor. He has scored less than 18.3 PPR fantasy points just once this season. He only needed 42% of the snaps in a blowout against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10 to eclipse 20 fantasy points. The way the Seahawks use Smith-Njigba allows him to get loose often. He is the perfect blend of slot and outside wide receiver. This game will be a pivotal matchup between these two teams. It could end up being relatively low-scoring. However, JSN's volume alone will propel him to another WR1 outing. Start him with confidence.
