Jordan Addison or Jaxon Smith-Njigba Week 7 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy Football projections for WRs

Jordan Addison and Jaxon Smith-Njigba have both been solid in fantasy football during their second NFL seasons. They have proven to have weekly value in the right situations, though they have also been inconsistent with their overall production. Here's which one is a better pick for Week 7 of the 2024 season.

Is Jordan Addison a good fantasy pick in Week 7?

Jordan Addison was excellent during his rookie season with the Minnesota Vikings. He totaled 70 receptions on 108 targets for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns on his way to a season-long WR21 finish. He has missed time with an injury this year, but in his three games, he turned in a WR4 finish to go with two finishes outside of the top 50 wide receivers.

The bye week seemed to come at a good time for Addison as he will enter Week 7 with additional rest and with time to fully recover from his injury. He will come back to a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions, who are currently allowing the sixth-most passing yards per game. This makes him an intriguing player to target in fantasy football lineups this week.

Is Jaxon Smith-Njigba a good fantasy pick in Week 7?

Jaxon Smith-Njigba was solid during his rookie season last year, despite playing in a crowded wide receiver room for the Seattle Seahawks. He still found a way to post 63 receptions on 93 targets for 628 yards and four touchdowns, finishing as the overall WR48 in fantasy football.

The second-year wide receiver has seen his role increase during the 2024 season as he has played in at least 80% of the offensive snaps in every game this year. He enters a Week 7 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons ranked as the overall WR29 with an impressive 34 receptions through just six games.

He has been more consistently involved in his team's offensive game plan, receiving at least seven targets in four of his six games. Addison has reached that number just once in his three games.
