Jaxon Smith-Njigba Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Sat, Aug 30th 2025, 1:16pm EDT

Smith-Njigba had a big-time second-year breakout -- 100 catches, 1,130 yards, six touchdowns -- despite a somewhat sluggish start to the season. JSN had 53 or fewer yards in six of his first seven games, but then he caught fire down the stretch. He had a seven-game run in November and December during which he had at least 74 receiving yards in every game. JSN became a big-time target earner last season, and now he doesn't have to compete for targets with D.K. Metcalf. The only concerns are how well JSN will mesh with new Seahawks QB Sam Darnold, and how well JSN will fare if Seattle newcomer Cooper Kupp gets most of the slot snaps and forces Smith-Njigba to line up out wide most of the time.
