Jaxon Smith-Njigba

The Seattle Seahawks came out of Super Bowl LX victorious, but it wasn’t due to the production of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who finished the game with four receptions on 10 targets, totalling just 27 yards. The Offensive Player of the Year was shadowed by Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez and allowed more volume to flow through Walker and Kupp.

The lack of production in the big game should not make fantasy managers shy away from drafting Jaxon Smith-Njigba at his current ADP. The Seahawks roster will look very similar heading into the 2026 season, and there’s no reason to think Darnold and JSN would lose their historic chemistry. With a top 5 ADP on both FastDraft and Underdog, drafters should be selecting Smith-Njigba with confidence that he can duplicate his 2025 season and anchor your team to Best Ball success.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba smashed the franchise receiving record for the Seahawks this season, recording 119 receptions for 1793 yards and 10 touchdowns, finishing as the wide receiver two overall in PPR formats. He now becomes the second Seahawk to win the award.

Njigba found instant chemistry with Sam Darnold, was the focal point of the offense, and will once again be the primary driver in the Super Bowl on February 8th. He recorded the most games with over 100 yards in Seahawks history, as well as the most receptions. We saw the breakout happening in 2024, and he blew the doors right off in 2025, showing he has what it takes to be an elite receiver in the NFL for a long time.

The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Los Angeles Rams and book their trip to Super Bowl LX. It was an incredibly competitive game defined by big plays and costly mistakes. A Jaxon Smith-Njigba touchdown with only 20 seconds left in the 2nd quarter gave the Seahawks the lead going into halftime. The first drive of the 3rd quarter ended with a Rams muffed punt that quickly turned into a Jake Bobo receiving touchdown and the Seahawks never looked back.

The Rams nearly mounted a comeback due to a back-breaking taunting penalty on Tariq Woolen, turning what would have been a 4th-and-12 punt, into a 34-yard Puka Nacua touchdown. Those would be the final points scored in the game. There were many games this season where the Seattle defense dominated to the point where the offense wasn’t needed, but with the NFC title on the line, it was Sam Darnold who stepped up, throwing for 346 yards and 3 touchdowns, and most importantly, 0 interceptions.

The Seahawks are set to face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara.

It’s time for the NFL Divisional Round of the playoffs. It also means the latest in injury news to report before the teams release before gametime.

• Today, the No. 6 seed Buffalo Bills head to Mile High Stadium to face the top-seeded Denver Broncos. Josh Allen has many bumps and bruises ailing him, but he will be “full go” for the matchup, absent receivers Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers, who landed on the injured reserve last week, ending their season for an already-depleted wide receiver corps.
• Good news in that department came in the form of Curtis Samuel being activated from the list. He is active for the game and will jump right in as a weapon for Allen.
• Tight end Dalton Kincaid was limited all week (knee, calf) but has been playing through the injury of late. He will do so again on Saturday.
• Placekicker Matt Prater is good to go; it appears his quad injury is completely behind him.
• Running Back Ty Johnson (ankle) was only able to practice once this week, and on a limited basis. Expected to be the Bills’ No. 2 RB over Ray Davis. Johnson is officially out.
• The Denver Broncos have no notable injuries on the offensive side after a week of rest.

• The No. 6-seeded San Francisco 49ers will have to take on their rivals in Seattle without tight end George Kittle against the Seahawks.
• Wide receiver Jacob Cowing (IR) will not be activated before the game.
• Wideout Ricky Pearsall (PCL) is questionable and will be a game-time decision. Pearsall himself admitted a lack of explosiveness thanks to the injury but hopes to be on the field. Kyle Shanahan relayed that if he can play, there will be no snap count restrictions whatsoever.
• Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, already battling a quad injury, aggravated the injury in practice and was forced to cut the session short. Darnold maintains that he is “fine” and is “looking forward to being out there.” Seattle’s backup quarterback is Drew Lock.
• Wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba missed practice on consecutive days this week, but neither absence was injury-related.

6 Buffalo Bills (12-5) at 1 Denver Broncos (14-3) – 4:30 PM ET

6 San Francisco 49ers (12-5) at 1 Seattle Seahawks (14-3) – 8:00 PM ET – Update coming soon

Are you not entertained!? Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Sam Darnold connect on seven receptions, for 92 yards and two touchdowns, as the Seahawks take flight in the second half and lay a beatdown on the Atlanta Falcons.

Njigba bounced back in a big way as he gave managers a dud in Week 13. He scored his first touchdown of the day in the third quarter, catching a pass through the middle and going into the endzone uncontested. Later in the fourth quarter, he saw a quick four-yard pass for the score. He is currently the wide receiver three on the week heading into the Sunday Nighter.
