Should You Start or Sit Jaxon Smith-Njigba in Week 13?
Smith-Njigba is one of five receivers to score 19 PPR points in three straight games this season (others: A.J. Brown, Justin Jefferson, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Malik Nabers). That’s some pretty good company to keep, and with an expanding route tree (the big play last week came on a beautiful bubble screen), I see no reason to think that the upward trajectory slows.
When it comes to this specific matchup, there’s a strong case to be made for JSN to be considered the top pass catcher in this offense. The Jets rank second in the league in pressure rate through 12 weeks, and …
When Geno Smith is pressured, 2024:
- Smith-Njigba: 1.8 points per target
- DK Metcalf: 1.2 points per target
When Smith is not pressured, 2024:
- Smith-Njigba: 1.8 points per target
- Metcalf: 2.1 points per target
I have both ranked as WR2s that you can feel great about starting this week and for the remainder of 2024 (and beyond).
