Jaxon Smith-Njigba News
Tuesday, August 11, 7:52 PM
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was almost unstoppable at training camp last week as the team prepares for the Super Bowl defense in 2026. Smith-Njigba caught multiple touchdown passes from Sam Darnold and received praise from head coach Mike Macdonald, who said, "It was great to see him come alive. Some of those in high-leverage situations, too. There's defensive attention on where he's at all times, too, so for him to be able to make those plays, it's great for the Seahawks, great for him." The reigning AP Offensive Player of the Year is looking to repeat his 2025 performance, when he had 119 catches for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns. With a new play caller, things could look schematically different in Seattle, but fantasy managers should expect another big year from Smith-Njigba.

Marvin Harrison Jr. News
Friday, August 14, 8:25 AM
Sports Illustrated's Donnie Druin named Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. a "winner" after the team's preseason victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night. Harrison's drops and mistakes have been amplified in training camp this summer, and although he wasn't on the field for long on Thursday, he made two impact plays and found the end zone. His first impact play was drawing a pass-interference penalty, which noticeably came from the slot. Harrison's second big play was his touchdown reception in double coverage. Druin writes that the former first-rounder "silenced some of the noise" of his struggles in camp, and he reminded everyone that he's still a very talented receiver for the Cardinals. The 24-year-old appeared in only 12 games in 2025 in his second year in the league and caught 41 passes for 608 yards and four touchdowns. Harrison has failed to live up to the sky-high expectations he had coming into the league as the fourth overall pick from Ohio State, but he's fully healthy going into the 2026 season and should still see plenty of targets from veteran QB Jacoby Brissett. Harrison is worth targeting as a WR3/flex value pick in fantasy drafts this fall.
