Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Sunday, December 28, 5:25 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught all six of his targets for 101 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 17 win over the New York Jets. After a three-week lull, Diggs has bounced back in a huge way, catching 15 passes for 239 yards and one touchdown over his last two games. The veteran receiver has earned the full trust of MVP candidate Drake Maye, whether it's a medium pass to move the chains or a tricky pass into coverage downfield. There's certainly some risk associated with starting Diggs given his occasional inconsistency this year, but his role and recent success will keep him as a top-15 fantasy receiver for Week 18 against the Miami Dolphins. He should continue to be started in all leagues.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is in a position to dominate once again in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. Carolina has a solid passing defense, but JSN has proven to be matchup-proof time and again this season. Smith-Njigba's target share is simply too large for him to bust in most games. Additionally, the Seahawks move him all over the field and scheme plenty of looks for the third-year pro. Although Carolina has a talented secondary, it will be difficult for them to keep track of JSN at all times. This is a must-win game for both teams. There is a path for Carolina to clinch its division this week, and the Seahawks need this win to vie for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. As such, this could be a higher-scoring game than many may expect. If Carolina's offense can put some pressure on Seattle's defense, it will only serve to boost Smith-Njigba's targets if Seattle needs to continually air the ball out. Start JSN as your anchor during championship week and do not look back.
