Should You Start or Sit Jaxon Smith-Njigba in Week 14?
It’s been tight for a few weeks, and I finally made the change this week — Smith-Njigba is my highest-ranked Seahawk receiver for Week 14. When these teams squared off, JSN earned one-quarter of Geno Smith’s targets on his way to a 6-77-1 stat line, good for the third-best showing by a receiver against the Cardinals this season.
I see no reason to regress his production. Arizona allows the fifth-most yards per short pass this season, and four of the top six receiver games against them have come from a player with a sub-11-yard aDOT in that contest. Given how this team defends, I don’t think opportunity count is going to be an issue; with a 90.9% catch rate over the past three games, I trust the efficiency of the second-year receiver.
Make the most of your Smith-Njigba exposure this season — you’re not getting him at anywhere near the same price this summer.
