Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 12-of-16 targets for 117 yards in the Seahawks’ Week 2 overtime win over the Patriots.

It goes without saying both totals were easily new career highs for the second-year pro, who disappointed with a 2/19 statline in Week 1. He was a point of emphasis from the opening whistle in this one, operating as something of an extension of the running game on an afternoon where the Seahawks were missing Kenneth Walker. He did also draw a handful of looks farther down the field. You don’t usually brag about just 9.8 yards per reception, but it’s easy to envision JSN posting many similar PPR-friendly statlines, especially for however long KWIII remains sidelined. He was also grinding out some tough, but limited YAC gains. The sophomore could quickly be trending toward every-week WR3 status. The Dolphins could be a plus Week 3 matchup with Jalen Ramsey likely to tangle with DK Metcalf.
