Jaxon Smith-Njigba

ESPN’s Brady Henderson reports the “feeling inside the [Seahawks] organization was that Jaxon Smith-Njigba has really improved” his practice habits.

New Seattle head coach Mike Macdonald agreed, describing JSN’s work ethic as “awesome.” The implication is that Smith-Njigba didn’t put in the necessary work during his disappointing rookie season, during which he caught 62 of 90 targets for 628 yards and four touchdowns. JSN would have to leapfrog DK Metcalf or Tyler Lockett in the team’s pass-catching pecking order if he’s going to be a reliable fantasy option in 2024. That seems unlikely.
