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.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Puka Nacua (ankle) will not practice on Wednesday, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Nacua is being considered day-to-day after injuring his left ankle in the team's Week 6 win over the Baltimore Ravens, but he is firmly up in the air to play in London in Week 7 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The fact that the 24-year-old isn't practicing on Wednesday is not a great sign, but he still has two days to get back on the field. It seems more likely that the Rams will hold the star wideout out of this weekend's game, with their bye coming in Week 8. We will continue to closely monitor Nacua's status, but fantasy managers should be preparing as if he won't suit up for their international game. If Nacua is out, Davante Adams will operate as the WR1, with Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell (hamstring) seeing an uptick in targets, too.
