Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba should have an excellent game in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are not the best matchup for wide receivers because of their ability to get to the quarterback up front and deploy confusing coverages on the back end. However, JSN has been nothing but matchup-proof all season. Even in the toughest of matchups, Smith-Njigba somehow finds a way to push for 100 receiving yards and earn a scoring opportunity or two. At this point in the season, Smith-Njigba has established himself as one of the very best wide receivers in the league. He has a chance to become the first player to accumulate more than 2,000 receiving yards in a season. He is simply unstoppable. No matchup is going to keep JSN down this season. You can safely deploy him as a top-five wide receiver with upside for a No. 1 overall week in Week 13.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught eight of his 10 targets for 167 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 12 win against the Tennessee Titans. He also had a four-yard rush. The 23-year-old entered this week as the overall WR1 in PPR leagues, and he only widened the gap between himself and every other receiver with Sunday's explosion. The 23-year-old now has at least 20 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his last seven games, as well as nine of 11 games this season. It goes without saying that Smith-Njigba should be viewed as a must-start WR1 for Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba should be great in a Week 12 tilt against the Tennessee Titans. JSN has been completely game script-independent this season. Whether the Seahawks are up big or down big has not mattered; Smith-Njigba always delivers. The Titans have a terrible defense in just about every aspect. They are No. 26 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. The yards and receptions are flowing against this team. Smith-Njigba has been automatic all season, and his connection with quarterback Sam Darnold is special. He is on pace for nearly 2,000 receiving yards this season, and he should make a large dent in that goal in Week 12. The only factor working against Smith-Njigba this week is the potential for Seattle to build a huge lead and rest its starters later in the game. However, that has happened on multiple occasions this season, and Smith-Njigba has still delivered for fantasy. He can be started with WR1 overall upside in Week 12.
Nov 21, 2025 6:44 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his historic season in a 21-19 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, catching nine of his 12 targets for 105 yards. Smith-Njigba failed to surpass the 100-yard mark last week against the Cardinals as he didn't play much in the second half, but he has cleared it in four of his past five games and seven of 10 games overall this season. The 23-year-old managed to post a dominant line despite quarterback Sam Darnold having his roughest game as a Seahawk with four interceptions. Smith-Njigba's floor for production is incredibly high, and the ceiling is also massive when Seattle plays in more high-scoring games, which we haven't seen many of this season. The superstar wideout has ascended to a new level this season and will rank as one of the best wide receivers in fantasy for Week 12 against the Titans.
Nov 17, 2025 1:08 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba should be fine against a mid-tier Rams passing defense on Sunday. The Rams are No. 17 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. While the Rams' defense has been solid against the run, they have allowed opposing wide receivers to get loose. Some of that is due to garbage time with the Rams often dominating games, but the Seahawks boast a quality offense that should have success in Week 11. JSN has an incredible floor. He has scored less than 18.3 PPR fantasy points just once this season. He only needed 42% of the snaps in a blowout against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10 to eclipse 20 fantasy points. The way the Seahawks use Smith-Njigba allows him to get loose often. He is the perfect blend of slot and outside wide receiver. This game will be a pivotal matchup between these two teams. It could end up being relatively low-scoring. However, JSN's volume alone will propel him to another WR1 outing. Start him with confidence.
Nov 14, 2025 5:24 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba got off to a hot start during Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith-Njigba scored a 43-yard touchdown on the opening drive. He took a shot to the head later in the first quarter and was taken out of the game to be evaluated for a concussion. Luckily, Smith-Njigba was fine and returned to continue doing damage to this defense. He finished his day with five receptions on six targets for 93 yards and a touchdown in the win. Smith-Njigba becomes the first player this season to reach 1,000 receiving yards. He'll look to keep the good times rolling against the Los Angeles Rams next weekend.
Nov 9, 2025 9:54 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba should continue to dominate fantasy football in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. Although the Cardinals are No. 11 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy, Smith-Njigba has proven himself to be matchup-proof this season. The Cardinals are the only team to hold Smith Njigba to less than 96 yards or 18.3 fantasy points this season. However, that game was played in Week 4. A lot has changed since then, and Smith-Njigba has evolved into perhaps the best wide receiver in the league at the moment. Since Week 4, Smith-Njigba has not recorded fewer than 123 receiving yards or 22 fantasy points. He is about as automatic as they come. With the Seahawks' offense reaching such a high level over the last few weeks, Smith-Njigba has a great chance to continue his stats in both categories. Nobody is going to bench Smith-Njigba while he is playing like this, but you can expect another monster game in Week 10 from the third-year man.
Nov 8, 2025 3:20 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught eight of his nine targets for 129 yards in Sunday night's 38-14 win over the Washington Commanders. Smith-Njigba continues his historic season with his fourth straight game recording at least 120 receiving yards. The 23-year-old superstar joined Hall of Famer Isaac Bruce as the only players under age 25 with 900 or more receiving yards in the first eight games of a season. His connection with quarterback Sam Darnold has been lethal and has helped lead the Seattle Seahawks to a 6-2 record. Seattle's passing volume is not high, but JSN has consolidated all of the targets and has fully ascended to superstar status. Smith-Njigba will remain a top-three fantasy option in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Nov 3, 2025 12:39 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is ready to deliver another massive outing on Sunday night against a Commanders defense that just got torched by Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs last Monday. Smith-Njigba has been a revelation for the Hawks this fall. Even with the bye week, JSN leads the league in receiving yards. He is also scoring touchdowns like a fiend, which escaped him during his first two seasons in the league. Washington is No. 23 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. With quarterback Jayden Daniels back in the lineup this week, the Commanders may put continued pressure on the Seahawks to throw the ball. Smith-Njigba's volume was never in jeopardy, but the chance for even more volume could make this an even better fantasy outing. Smith-Njigba has No. 1 overall wide receiver upside in Week 9. Set him in your lineup and do not worry.
Oct 31, 2025 6:25 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba had eight catches for the third straight week and finished with 123 yards and a touchdown in his team's 27-19 win on Monday. JSN has been one of the top receivers in the league this year, and Sam Darnold continues to give him plenty of targets. He has 36 targets over the last three weeks and has emerged as a true WR1 in Seattle after the departure of D.K. Metcalf this past offseason. Smith-Njigba and the Seahawks are on a bye this week, but he'll look to pick up where he left off in a great matchup in Week 10 against the Commanders. After Washington, Seattle faces the Cardinals, Rams, Titans, and Vikings. At this point, Smith-Njigba is an every-week lock in your lineup, aside from his bye this week.
Oct 21, 2025 9:17 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba draws a tough matchup in Week 7 against the Houston Texans. The Texans boast one of the best defenses in the NFL, particularly against the pass. However, Smith-Njigba has been matchup-proof in 2025. He has yet to score less than 13 PPR fantasy points in a game this season. That is due to JSN's uncanny ability to separate and his clear chemistry with quarterback Sam Darnold. Smith-Njigba's high floor is buoyed by his 56 targets, which is good for No. 5 in the NFL. Additionally, Smith-Njigba is averaging an eye-popping 16.6 yards per catch. He is not the underneath threat that he has been through two seasons in the NFL. He is catching deep bombs, which are leading to big plays and touchdowns. The Texans may be able to keep a lid on JSN over the top. However, his volume and route-running savvy will make him a safe WR1 this week.
Oct 17, 2025 9:05 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver continued his unbelievable 2025 campaign with a 162-yard explosion against the Jaguars in Week 6. Smith-Njigba is positioning himself in such a way that gives him a legitimate shot at finishing as the WR1 overall in fantasy. JSN has developed a quick chemistry with quarterback Sam Darnold. He has scored at least 18.3 PPR fantasy points in every game but one this season. He is already on pace to top his career high of six touchdown receptions as well. Smith-Njigba's production is matchup proof. He seems to be able to find room against zone coverage and beat defensive backs in man coverage with ease. Darnold continues to look for Smith-Njigba in every situation. Houston will provide an interesting test for JSN in Week 7, but he should absolutely remain in every lineup.
Oct 12, 2025 5:08 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is in line to continue his excellent 2025 campaign in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars have a much-improved defense this season, especially in the passing game. However, they have not played a passing offense as potent as Seattle's, and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes just had a lot of luck against this team in Week 5. Smith-Njigba is proving to be matchup-proof. He is a fantastic possession wide receiver who can beat man coverage and find holes in zone coverage with ease. He should have no issues continuing that trend in Week 6. JSN has yet to earn fewer than five targets or 79 yards in a game this season. That type of floor is fantastic for a fantasy team. He has also scored in two of his last three games. As long as the touchdowns continue to flow, Smith-Njigba will remain among the top wideouts in fantasy football.
Oct 11, 2025 9:58 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his excellent start to the 2025 season by recording eight catches for 132 yards and a touchdown on nine targets against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. Smith-Njigba has been one of the most productive wide receivers in the NFL so far this season. Through five games, the 23-year-old has 34 catches for 535 yards and two touchdowns on 43 targets. Smith-Njigba profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver regardless of opponent.
Oct 5, 2025 9:17 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba should have no problem getting free against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The Buccaneers are currently sixth against opposing wideouts in fantasy, but they have not exactly faced a potent passing offense to this point. The Seahawks have been relatively efficient passing the ball thus far this season. A great connection between JSN and quarterback Sam Darnold has anchored that efficiency. Smith-Njigba is currently the WR7 in fantasy with only one touchdown. He has been a target monster in an offense that has been able to move the ball up and down the field. The Buccaneers have an equally competent offense, which suggests that this game could be somewhat of a high-scoring game. If the Seahawks are airing it out consistently on Sunday, Smith-Njigba should produce as a WR1 again.
Oct 3, 2025 8:00 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught four of his five targets for 79 yards during Thursday's Week 4 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also rushed for 11 yards on three carries. All in all, it was a solid showing from Smith-Njigba, but nothing special. Additionally, fantasy managers might be surprised to see that the young receiver only had five targets and four catches. Both of these numbers tied for the team-high, but it's still noteworthy for fantasy football. Managers should rest assured that the Seahawks used a run-heavy approach on Thursday because they were leading by two scores for a large portion of the game. As a result, there weren't many passes to go around; Sam Darnold only threw the ball 26 times. Smith-Njigba's receiving volume should take a big jump in a potential shootout next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He continues to rank as a low-end WR1 for fantasy football.
Sep 26, 2025 12:38 AM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is in a great position to rack up points once again in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith-Njigba has posted at least 96 receiving yards in each game this season. The Cardinals just let 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall run all over them in Week 3. Top wide receivers on the Panthers and the Saints have also enjoyed success against Arizona's secondary this season. JSN has clear chemistry with quarterback Sam Darnold. Additionally, Smith-Njigba has clearly leveled up this year. He looks bigger, stronger, and faster, and his routes are crisp. He has turned into about as reliable a wide receiver as a quarterback could ask for. The Seahawks play on Thursday Night Football, which often is a recipe for lesser offensive output. However, NFL stars typically shine regardless of when game day is. As such, JSN should have a great day, even if the offense around him struggles. He is a set-and-forget WR1 at this point in the season.
Sep 24, 2025 9:01 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued his tremendous start to the 2025 season in his team's 44-13 Week 3 win over the New Orleans Saints. Smith-Njigba hauled in five catches on six targets for 96 yards and a touchdown, bringing his season totals to 22 catches, 323 yards, and one score. The 23-year-old was a late addition to Seattle's injury report leading into Sunday due to an illness, but he still managed to dominate. Smith-Njigba is a must-start fantasy wide receiver and may be establishing himself as one of the league's truly elite players at the position.
Sep 21, 2025 9:43 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (illness) is officially active for his team's Week 3 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Smith-Njigba was a late addition to the team's injury report heading into Sunday due to an illness, but it appears he'll still be able to suit up. Smith-Njigba has 17 catches for 227 yards on 23 targets through his first two games of 2025. He may see a slightly reduced snap share if he's still under the weather. Still, Smith-Njigba is a must-start fantasy wide receiver in Week 3.
Sep 21, 2025 3:00 PM EST
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba (illness) is expected to play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The star receiver was added to the injury report due to the ailment and is listed as questionable, but Schefter reported that the team wanted to see how he felt, hence the late addition. Now that it seems like Smith-Njigba will play, fantasy managers can rest assured that a WR1 candidate can be locked into starting lineups.
