Smith-Njigba caught 12 of 16 targets for 134 yards in Thursday's overtime loss to Denver.

By Cole Hartwell

Jaxon Smith-Njigba brought in 12 of 16 targets for 134 yards in the Seahawks’ 17-14 overtime loss to the Broncos on Thursday, according to RotoWire.

Context

Through five games, Smith-Njigba has 139.5 PPR points, 50 targets, 37 receptions, 583 receiving yards, and 7 receiving touchdowns. He is playing 83% of Seattle’s snaps. In Week 5, he caught 5 of 8 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown. In Week 4, he had 5 catches for 76 yards on 6 targets.

Timeline

On Oct. 15, Fantasy Football Desk reported that Smith-Njigba was off the Seahawks’ injury report for Week 6 against the Broncos. He was listed as a full participant in Wednesday’s practice after being limited earlier in the week with an ankle injury. On Oct. 8, Fantasy Football Desk reported he did not practice on Oct. 7 with a non-injury designation. On Oct. 5, Fantasy Football Desk reported he caught five of six targets for 76 yards in a win over the Chargers and had 100+ receiving yards and a touchdown in each of Seattle’s first three games.

🏈 Fantasy impact

JSN continues to dominate targets and production. He now has 50 targets, 37 catches, and 583 yards through five games, with 7 touchdowns. His Week 6 line of 12 catches for 134 yards on 16 targets reinforces his elite fantasy status. He remains a locked-in WR1 every week. The Seahawks’ passing game runs through him. Rashid Shaheed and Cooper Kupp are the next receivers on the depth chart, but neither has come close to Smith-Njigba’s volume or production.
