Jaxon Smith-Njigba Week 9 Outlook - Rams at Seahawks

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 31st 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Smith-Njiba hasn't had the breakout season I was hoping for this year, but that doesn't mean he has been terrible as the WR37 in fantasy points per game. He has seen six deep targets and six red zone looks in his last five games. He has a 19.7% target share, 1.32 YPRR, and a 22% first-read share. Among 98 qualifying wide receivers, he is 51st in separation and 77th in route win rate. Neither of those metrics are great, and I don't think they will improve after this week's game. Los Angeles has held slot receivers to the fewest receiving yards per game and the fewest fantasy points per game.
