Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Smith-Njigba's usage last year was comical. The team neutered him into a low aDOT player when he has the skills to be so much more. When he was aligned outside, he flashed the talent that had plenty of Fantasy GMs drafting him aggressively last year. Among 81 qualifying wide receivers last season, when he was running routes on the perimeter, Smith-Njigba ranked 15th in YPRR and fourth in TPRR. Among 61 qualifying receivers with at least 40 perimeter targets, he also ranked 14th in FD/RR. With a new head coach and offensive coordinator to revamp this offense and a retooled offensive line, Smith-Njigba should flourish in his sophomore season.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 1-of-2 targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks' 30-23 loss against the Steelers.

Fantasy Impact

Smith-Njigba only saw two targets, but caught a 12-yard touchdown pass to salvage his afternoon. He will remain in the WR3 conversation next week.
