Zay Flowers or Jaxon-Smith Njigba Week 15 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy Football Projections for WRs

For Zay Flowers and Jaxon-Smith Njigba, who both play in teams close to locking up a playoff spot, this has been a good season. They have improved consistently, turning into the main receiving option for both of their teams. If you have the two young receivers on your fantasy football roster, you are a lucky owner.

Is Zay Flowers a good pick in Week 15?

Coming from a bye week to play the team that currently owns the number one pick in the 2025 draft, you can understand why and how this is a favorable matchup for the Ravens wide receiver. He had a strong performance against the Philadelphia Eagles, with 74 yards prior to the bye week.

The Giants' defense has allowed just 14 touchdowns, but the low amount happens because teams run the ball a lot against New York due to play from a winning position. Their defense, which lacks playmakers who can cover consistently, has just two interceptions in 2024 after 13 games. Flowers could be up for a great day.

Is Jaxon Smith-Njigba a good pick in Week 15?

A breakout season was expected for the Seahawks receiver, but in recent weeks, he has exploded: he has had at least 74 receiving yards in each of the past five games, with four touchdowns during this period. Geno Smith has built great chemistry with Smith-Njigba and he has performed well.

He has 911 receiving yards and five touchdowns this season, and the Packers' defense is likely to have Jaire Alexander covering DK Metcalf, which would open lots of space for Smith-Njigba, who has momentum on his side. The Seahawks are expected to throw the ball a lot during this game, helping him even more.
