The Top WRs To Start in Week 18
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle Seahawks (at ARI)
Rookie receivers often take time to adjust to the speed of the professional game, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba is trending in the right direction in terms of opportunity count. The talent isn’t in question here, and with the targets coming at a reasonably consistent rate, Smith-Njigba should have your interest.
Add in the fact that the Seahawks are playing with motivation while facing a defense that is on a borderline historic pace for the number of red-zone trips allowed — now we’re talking.

JSN saw a 29.2% target share in the first meeting against the Arizona Cardinals, and while that game was played without DK Metcalf, it doesn’t hurt to have proof of concept when it comes to his ability to find space in this specific matchup.
