WIDE RECEIVERS
Start: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA @ ATL): Seattle is laying 7 points in a dome, and JSN is the alpha receiver who benefits most from Darnold’s “get-right” game. Atlanta’s corners can’t run with him, so fire him up for a 7-115-2 stat line that makes up for last week’s headache.
Start: Christian Watson (GB v. CHI): The Packers are 6.5-point favorites at Lambeau with a healthy 44.5 total, and Watson’s chemistry with Love makes him the undisputed WR1 in this offense. I sat him last week and paid the price; don’t make my mistake when he torches a Chicago secondary that gets lost on deep balls.
Sit: Chris Godwin (TB v. NO): Being an 8.5-point favorite usually helps, but this game screams “run the ball and play defense,” limiting Godwin’s ceiling in a brutal matchup against New Orleans’ sticky slot coverage. I love that he’s healthy, but the volume won’t be there to save you in a game Tampa controls on the ground.
Sit: DJ Moore (CHI @ GB): Green Bay’s elite defense is going to suffocate the Bears, and with a low implied team total, Moore is staring down another 4-point disaster. He’s too sporadic to trust in a playoff-critical week, especially when I expect Chicago to be chasing the game from behind the whole afternoon.
