Who Should I Start? Tyreek Hill or Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that the team has wide receiver Tyreek Hill are fully planning on moving forward together for the 2025 season at this time, but the head coach also noted that things happen in the NFL. Hill pulled himself from the Week 18 regular-season finale against the New York Jets and said after the game that, "I'm out." The 31-year-old speedy wideout later went back on his words and said, "I don't want to go nowhere." The Cheetah could have just been voicing his frustrations in a disappointing season for the Dolphins in which he battled a wrist injury all year. Hill later had surgery on his wrist to fix a ligament issue, but he's expected to be fully healed for the start of the 2025 campaign. Hill took a fall in fantasy, but it didn't help that QB Tua Tagovailoa missed six games. He's still a WR1 in fantasy, but with the injury risk surrounding Tua, Hill is no longer a lock as a high-end WR1.

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.
