Today, we shift our focus to that of singularp players. This will be our Player Profile on Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

DFS Player Profile

  • Price: $13,000 (FanDuel | $11,600 (DraftKings)
  • Average Score: 19.27 Points (1.5x - FanDuel) | 22.8 Points (2.0x - DraftKings)
  • Opponent Rank: 13th (FanDuel) | 12th (DraftKings)
  • Receptions per Game: 6.95
  • Targets per Game: 9.42
  • Yards per Game: 103.4
  • Touchdowns (Inc. Playoffs): 12

In the world of DFS, we look for 1.5x of salary as relative great value. To find a player hitting 2x, on average, is very rare. Smith-Njigba has that on DraftKings. He is arguably the best Wide Receiver in the entire NFL. Facing a non-top 10 coverage, Smith-Njigba is basiclly a must-start, despite his high ownership projection.

In making roster decisions, you always must weigh risk versus reward. Here is a little risk versus reward analysis:

Risk Factors: Very High Ownership Projection, High Salary (around 20% of the total)

Reward: Ability to hit 2x of Cost, High Touchdown Probability, Sole Player with True 3x Upside

DFS Start 'Em, Sit 'Em

I have a hard time benching Smith-Njigba. Per our Risk/Reward analysis, the rewards seem to outweigh the risk. I would play him, but he will not be our contest-winner. He fills a gap that only he can fill.

Smith-Njigba has (12) Touchdowns on the season. He has done so in 9-of-19 games. He also faces a 13th ranked Patriots defense. By all accounts, he will have about a 50% chance to score. Per our Fantasy Sports On SI Projections, we actually have Smith-Njigba projected to score 1.0 Touchdowns. Most sportsbooks will offer profit boost, so you can likely get Smith-Njigba to plus-money.

Player to Record a 30+ Yard Reception +100

In 19 Games this season, Smith-Njigba has caught a 30+ yard reception in 11 of those appearances. Quick math brings that to a 58% frequency. This is a route that would be safety-attacking. The Patriots have an average core of safeties and, well, Smith-Njigba is arguably the best route-runner in the NFL, so does it even matter?
