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.

Updating previous reports on Monday, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that the team thinks wide receiver Puka Nacua (ankle) avoided a "long-term injury" in Sunday's Week 6 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. When deciding on when Nacua can return, McVay mentioned that the receiver's "style of play, the way and the nature at which he plays, that is something that does weigh into this." A report earlier on Monday suggested that Nacua was expected to miss some time, but McVay himself is calling him day-to-day and isn't ruling him out for Week 7 in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Rams have their bye in Week 8, so the most likely scenario is that L.A. will hold Nacua out in Week 7 and hope to have him back for a Week 9 contest against the New Orleans Saints on Nov. 2. Fantasy managers should prepare for Nacua to miss at least one game. If Nacua doesn't play in London, Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell (hamstring) would be the next men up behind Davante Adams in the Rams' passing game.
