Tyler Lockett Has Another Modest Game In Week 4

Tuesday, October 3, 1:42 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett led the team in receptions, catching four passes for 54 yards. He, along with rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba, also saw the most targets on the team with six. Seattle's Week 4 victory over the New York Giants owed more to the defense than what the offense could produce. Not counting the two-play drive that started on the Giants' seven-yard line following a fumble recovery and resulted in a touchdown thrown to DK Metcalf, five of the Seahawks' 11 series lasted four plays or fewer and only two series lasted longer than three minutes. The Seahawks have a bye in Week 5 which may help the offense gel before heading to Cincinnati in Week 6.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Still Looking For Breakout

Saturday, September 23, 4:56 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was targeted five times in Week 1 and six times in Week 2, but he is not yet threatening the workloads of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. The 21-year-old has only been on the field for 58% of snaps and the targets he has seen are at an average depth of just 1.9 yards. In Week 3 against the Panthers, Smith-Njigba will line up against Jimmy Chinn or Troy Hill, who have managed most of the slot corner snaps for Carolina in the first two weeks of the season. Smith-Njigba is definitely worth holding but the only reason to start him in Week 3 is if Metcalf (ribs) is ruled out.
