Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Smith-Njigba is now the WR16 in fantasy points per game, ranking 21st in deep targets among wide receivers. He has three red zone targets and three scores across his last five games. Overall, he has a 21.5% target share, 1.96 YPRR, and a 23.9% first-read share. Since Week 10, Arizona has leaned heavily on two high coverage leading the NFL in usage (65.3%). Against two high, Smith-Njigba leads the team with a 20.9% target share while also recording 2.11 YPRR and a 22.2% first-read share. Since Week 8, Arizona has been more vulnerable to slot receivers, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position and ranking 16th in PPR points per target given up. The last time Smith-Njigba faced this secondary, he finished as the WR13 for the week (19.7 PPR points).

Jaxon Smith-Njigba hauled in all four of his targets for 74 yards in the Seahawks' Week 13 win against the Jets. He added one carry for five yards.

Fantasy Impact

Smith-Njigba led the Seahawks in receiving yards for the fifth consecutive week. The bad news, however, was that he saw merely four targets. Nevertheless, Smith-Njigba has clearly settled in as a weekly WR2 for fantasy purposes, and will look to keep the momentum going in Arizona for Week 14.
