    Should You Start or Sit Jaxon Smith-Njigba in Week 11?

    Jaxon Smith-Njigba is coming off the best game of his young career (Week 9 vs. LAR: seven catches for 180 yards and two scores) and has seen 20 targets over a two-game stretch for the first time as a pro.

    We entered the season with optimism around this 2023 first-round pick, and he’s beginning to realize that potential at a high level. Can it stick?

    Production with DK Metcalf on the field, 2024:

    • 11.9% under expectation
    • 6.6 aDOT
    • Four TDs on 131 targets

    Production with Metcalf on the field, 2024:

    • 27.6% over expectation
    • 13.6 aDOT
    • Three TDs on 37 targets

    That’s not to say he can’t produce alongside Metcalf, I very much think he can, but we’ve yet to see it. My hope is that what he did in Week 9 was enough for Geno Smith and this offense to structure his usage a bit differently moving forward. But my “hope” doesn’t always translate into fantasy points, and that is why I’m hedging my ranking a little bit.

    I’ve got JSN ranked as fringe WR2 as I have to bake in the risk of his aDOT regressing and this difficult matchup. For the record, I’m playing him where I have him, but we can’t just assume that what we last saw is sticky.
