Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught four of his five targets for nine yards in a 30-25 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18, and his 100 receptions this season are tied for the single-season franchise record.
Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba didn't exactly go out with a bang, but he did enjoy a career year while emerging as the most consistent option in the Seattle passing attack. He will be a WR2 entering next season.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba had three receptions for 32 yards versus the Chicago Bears on Thursday, Dec. 26. He was targeted a team-high six times.
Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba entered play on Thursday night having topped 75 yards of offense in seven consecutive games, but in rainy Chicago he couldn't even muster half of that. It's a tough scene for fantasy owners playing in their championships this week. If, however, you're in a league that goes to Week 18, JSN looks like a good bet to rebound. The last time he faced the Rams, Smith-Njigba had seven receptions for a season-high 180 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He belongs in your lineup as a WR1/WR2 this weekend.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with eight catches on 12 targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in a 27-24 loss to the Miinesota Vikings in Week 16.
Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba topped 70 receiving yards for the seventh straight game and went over 1,000 yards on the year. He has emerged as the No. 1 option in the Seattle passing attack.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 10 of 12 targets for 83 yards in Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers.
Huddle Up: With the Packers seemingly committing most of their resources to holding DK Metcalf in check, JSN wore out the short area of the field on the rare occasion Seattle was able to sustain a drive. This effort marks the third time this season that Smith-Njigba has tallied at least 10 catches and puts him on track for 100 receptions. The one thing that can stop that from happening is if Geno Smith (knee) is out for a significant amount of time. If Smith can play in Week 16, JSN should be considered a high-end WR2 option at worst against the Minnesota Vikings.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 767 receiving yards are 217 more than the next closest player (Ladd McConkey, 550), according to Next Gen Stats.
Huddle Up: Not only is Smith-Njigba doing great work in the slot, but he has also been Seattle's best fantasy receiver in the four games since DK Metcalf's return from injury in Week 11. The interesting thing about that nugget is that Metcalf has more targets in each of the last two. Either way, Smith-Njigba has ascended into fantasy WR2 territory with his recent surge and should remain there with games against the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears during the fantasy playoffs.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught all five of his targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in a 30-18 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14.
Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba topped 70 receiving yards for the fifth straight game, and he has emerged as the steadiest receiver for the Seahawks, if not the clear No. 1 option.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba finished with four receptions for a game-high 74 yards on four targets in Week 13 against the New York Jets.
Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba appears to have taken over as the unofficial WR1 in Seattle, at least in terms of production. DK Metcalf still had nine targets to just four for JSN. However, Smith-Njigba has posted 69 or more receiving yards in five straight games with three total touchdowns. He went for six receptions for 77 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals, the team's opponent again in Week 14 on the road.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads the NFL with 344 routes run, 77 targets, 53 catches and 619 receiving yards out of the slot this season.
Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba's dominance from the slot has him ranked inside the top 10 overall in receptions and receiving yards. He is a weekly WR2 option right now, especially in PPR formats.
Posted: 11/25/2024 2:52 am GMT
Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught six of his seven targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in a 16-6 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12.
Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba continued his recent hot streak, and he has logged at least six catches and 69 yards in four straight games. He has become a must-start fantasy option.
Posted: 11/18/2024 2:12 am GMT
Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 10 of his 11 passes for 110 yards in a 20-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11.
Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba is in the middle of a hot stretch, and he has amassed 23 catches for 359 yards over the last three games. While it remains to be seen if the uptick in usage will be the new norm, fantasy owners should ride the hot hand in the meantime.
