Jaxon Smith-Njigba News
Friday, September 18, 6:33 AM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba should be considered a WR1 in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals despite Drew Lock starting at quarterback for the injured Sam Darnold (glute). Smith-Njigba demonstrated that he can be quarterback-proof, with Lock supporting a massive 26.2-point outing from him in Week 1. Lock dialed in with his No. 1 wide receiver and continually fed him the rock. That figures to remain the same in Week 2. Hopefully, Seattle will be playing more in control against an inferior Arizona Cardinals opponent on Sunday. That should allow the offense to dictate more, which could create lanes in which JSN can operate. Smith-Njigba's 11 targets in Week 1 were par for the course. He should push for double-digit targets once again in a plus-matchup in Week 2. The Cardinals just allowed Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ribs) to go wild against them in Week 1. As such, you should stay the course with JSN.

Malik Nabers News
Saturday, September 19, 6:45 PM
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers was active despite questions about his status throughout the offseason. Despite limited snaps, Nabers was productive, hauling in six of nine targets for 69 yards in the 28-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The third-year receiver played 36 snaps (third among Giants' receivers) and had a target on every 2.7 routes, the highest rate in the NFL last season. He faces a Los Angeles Rams defense that allowed the 12th most fantasy points to wide receivers last season and struggled against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1. Unfortunately, his snap count will likely remain low as he continues to recover from the torn ACL he suffered during the 2025 season. Fantasy managers should keep expectations in check for the star receiver until he returns to his full-time role.
