Fantasy Impact:
JSN is an elite talent who dealt with injuries in his final season at Ohio St., but his quick return to practice from his most recent wrist injury indicates the rookie could be fully healthy by Week 1. However, given the timeline, JSN may be limited in some capacity on Sunday against the Rams. A projected game script of the Seahawks playing ahead in Week 1 may limit the ceiling of JSN for his debut, especially with Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf sure to be featured. Smith-Njigba can be considered a possible flex option for Week 1, with some upside given the unknown.
