Jaxon Smith-Njigba

In his first season, JSN managed 63 receptions from 93 targets (17.5% target share), totaling 628 yards with an average of 10 yards per reception. Smith-Njigba scored 4 touchdowns, indicating his growing role in the Seahawks' offensive scheme. 59th in points per game (7.0) and WR48 overall. But it shouldn't be forgotten that Smith-Njigba suffered a wrist injury that contributed to a slow start. He started to hit his stride more from Week 6 onward where he averaged 8.2 points per game. But still over this span, his route participation (74%, 50th) and high-end target competition made it tough for JSN to produce. With more opportunities in 2024 at just 22 years old, Smith-Njigba is an easy breakout candidate.

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.
