Who Should I Start? Kenny Golladay or Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Free agent wide receiver Kenny Golladay worked out for the New York Jets on Wednesday but will not sign at this time, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The Jets hosted a few free agents on Wednesday, according to Pelissero, including quarterback Anthony Brown, running back Ellis Merriweather, and wide receivers James Proche and Jeff Smith. Golladay, who was one of the biggest free agent flops in recent memory, will continue to look elsewhere for a new home. The New York Giants released him just two years into a four-year, $72 million deal back in March. He's still just 29 years old and posted back-to-back 1000-yard seasons in 2018 and 2019 with the Detroit Lions so he could get another shot elsewhere.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught three of his five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. The receptions were tied with tight ends Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson for the team lead but made for a quiet end to a modest debut season for the Ohio State product. Selected 20th overall in the 2023 draft, there were hopes that Smith-Njigba would replicate the first-year successes of his former college teammates Garrett Wilson and Christian Olave. As it was, Smith-Njigba proved to be firmly entrenched as the third receiver on Seattle's depth chart and was probably lucky to see the amount of work that he did. His production was also hindered by the routes designed for him, as his average depth of target of 5.8 yards was among the lowest in the league. His rookie year will conclude with 63 receptions for 628 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games.
