Jaxon Smith-Njigba Leads Seahawks In Receiving

Sunday, October 27, 8:27 PM

With Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) out of the lineup, wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba stepped into the No. 1 wide receiver role. In a low-volume passing day from the Seahawks offense, Smith-Njigba led the team in targets with seven. He caught six passes for 69 yards. Considering that the Seahawks offense was anemic for most of the game, Smith-Njigba's output was respectable. It is clear that he is the No. 2 wide receiver behind Metcalf at this point, but we still have yet to see a string of full breakout performances. With Metcalf possibly back in Week 9, Smith-Njigba could be relegated to his usual role in the offense. However, if Metcalf were to miss another game, Smith-Njigba would be a solid start again next week. The Rams are a much worse defense than the Bills and the Seahawks should have a much easier time moving the ball. If this offense could find some level of consistency, then better days are headed for all of the skill players.

C.J. Stroud Rebounds In Win Against Colts

Sunday, October 27, 5:19 PM

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud returned to his efficient ways on Sunday against Indianapolis, completing 25 of 37 attempts for 285 yards and a touchdown in a 23-20 victory. The Ohio State product had no turnovers and completed passes to eight different receivers for Houston. Unfortunately, Stroud may be without another member of his talented receiver corps, as Stefon Diggs (knee) departed the game with a non-contact injury. Top target Nico Collins (hamstring) will be on injured reserve for at least another week. The second-year quarterback and the Texans will travel to play the New York Jets in Week 9.
