News: 4 days agoSmith-Njigba corralled eight of nine targets for 129 yards while gaining 11 rushing yards on one attempt in Sunday's 38-14 win over Washington.

Spin: Smith-Njigba extended his impressive streak of recording over 100 receiving yards to four games in Sunday's one-sided affair. It was the breakout superstar's sixth time cracking the century mark in eight starts this year, resulting in a ridiculous 58-948-4 receiving line over that span. JSN will have a prime opportunity to extend his impressive streak of posting triple-digit totals in Week 10 when the Seahawks face the Cardinals' bottom-third ranked pass defense.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Smith-Njigba is entering his third NFL season following a breakout 2024 in which he ranked top 10 among wide receivers in routes, receptions, yardage and fantasy points (19th in PPG). Operating primarily in a short-area role, "JSN" was, however, limited to six TDs and ranked 16th in end zone targets (11). The 2023 first-round pick got more downfield opportunities in 2024 than he did as a rookie and perhaps will get even more in 2025 with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett out and Cooper Kupp in as his wide receiver running mate. Smith-Njigba will also have a new playcaller (Klint Kubiak) and quarterback (Sam Darnold), which adds some uncertainty, but the bottom line is he's an emerging star and, at 23 years old, younger than some incoming rookies. Smith-Njigba is a WR2 who could crack the top 10 with another leap forward.
