Jaxon Smith-Njigba's Historic Start Draws Randy Moss Comparison

Smith-Njigba seeks a fourth straight 100-yard, touchdown game against the Chargers.

Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has opened the 2026 season with three consecutive games of at least 100 receiving yards and a touchdown, putting him within reach of a record held by Hall of Famer Randy Moss.

What happened

Smith-Njigba caught five passes for 76 yards in Sunday’s 30-23 win over the Chargers, according to RotoWire. While that was his first game without 100 yards or a touchdown, his production over the first three weeks remains historic.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Smith-Njigba had posted 100+ receiving yards and a touchdown in each of Seattle’s first three games. With another such performance against the Chargers, he would have tied Moss’s Super Bowl-era record of four straight games to start a season, set in 2007.

Context

Smith-Njigba entered the Chargers game as Seattle’s leading receiver. In Week 1, he caught eight passes for 122 yards and a touchdown; in Week 2, nine catches for 155 yards and three touchdowns; and in Week 3, 10 catches for 128 yards and two touchdowns. He is the clear LWR1 on the Seahawks’ depth chart and has been healthy all season.

What’s next

The Seahawks’ next opponent was not specified in the sources. Smith-Njigba will look to continue his strong production as the team’s top receiving threat.

Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba has recorded 100+ receiving yards and a touchdown in each of Seattle’s first three games. With another game like today vs. the Chargers, JSN would tie Randy Moss’ Super Bowl-era record of four straight games to start a season, set in 2007.

🏈 Fantasy impact

JSN is locked in as a weekly WR1. His target share and red-zone usage are elite: 36 targets in three games and six touchdowns. Volume is sustainable, though touchdown rate may regress. If you somehow roster him in redraft, do not sell high unless you get a top-tier package. In DFS, his salary likely reflects the matchup, but he remains a strong play in all formats. Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf see fewer targets when JSN is featured, so downgrade them slightly.
