The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Tennessee Titans in Week 12 thanks to Njigba’s record-setting performance.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has set the Seahawks single-season receiving record in just eleven games, passing DK Metcalf’s previous record of 1,303 yards set in 2020. He is also the NFL’s leader in receiving yards. JSN was humble in acknowledging the record, stating it feels more like a team award.
Finishing the day with eight catches for a season high 167 yards and two touchdowns pushed him into exclusive history. Now, having 75 receiving yards in his 11th straight game, he only trails Marvin Harrison(14) and Cooper Kupp(13) for most such games in NFL history. This day was highlighted by an incredible 63-yard touchdown in which he beat single coverage and backpedalled into the end zone. JSN continues to vault himself into the conversation of being the best wide receiver in the NFL and has built great chemistry with Sam Darnold.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba crossed the 1000 yard mark in the 44-22 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba paced the Seattle Seahawks in receiving with 93 yards and a touchdown. JSN is now at 1,041 yards on the season and continues to be the top option for Sam Darnold.
The game got out of hand quickly which led to JSN being less involved but he has 90+ receiving yards in eight of nine games this season. No other Seattle pass catcher had more than two receptions.
JSN continues his march towards 2000 yards and remains an elite wide receiver for fantasy managers.

Seahawks rookie wideout Tory Horton has a blow up game on Sunday Night Football against the Commanders.
Tory Horton made the most of his post bye week opportunity in the absence of the injured Cooper Kupp. Horton wasted little time by connecting with Sam Darnold on 2 touchdowns.
Horton had a 4-48-2 line while star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba went 8-129 on 9 targets. Heading into Monday Night Football, Horton is the WR7 on the week paired with JSN who is the WR6. This 6-7 combination cannot be stopped! It is looking like Horton will have a significant role in the offense regardless of Kupp’s status.

Njigba leads the Seahawks’ offense to a victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week Six by a score of 20-12
Another week of Jaxon Smith-Njigba cooking defenders, posting 162 yards and a touchdown on eight receptions. That stat line is over 50% of the team’s total yardage.
Smith-Njigba torched Greg Newsome for a 61-yard TD reception on Newsome’s first snap with Jacksonville. “I knew (Newsome was in the game), Smith-Njigba said. “But that was good to take advantage of that look and execute.” The third-year wide receiver is torching the NFL once again and is now widely considered to be a top 5 wide receiver asset.
The Seahawks take on the Houston Texans in Week 7 as Sam Darnold and Smith-Njigba look to continue torching opponents’ secondaries.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers win a high-scoring affair with a field goal as time expires to beat the Seattle Seahawks.
What an absolute slugfest fans were treated to from the Seahawks and Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold aired it out early and often, racking up over 700 yards, six touchdowns, and only one interception thrown by Darnold, which proved costly. With 58 seconds left in the game, Darnold threw a pass that deflected off Logan Hall’s helmet and into the hands of Lavonte David. The Buccaneers would run out the clock and kick the winning field goal with no time remaining to win 38-35.
The two wide receivers out of Ohio State came to play on Sunday and capitalized on the excellent quarterback play. The Buccaneers’ star rookie, Emeka Egbuka, finished the game with seven receptions, 163 yards and a touchdown, gaining more praise from Mayfield. “He’s well-rounded, and not just in football but in life. I think he’s grounded, and I think he’s genuine in everything he does. He’s intentional, and you just don’t see that often.” Mayfield said. Jaxon Smith-Njigba continues to be the wheel that turns the Seahawks’ offense. He ended the day with eight receptions, 132 yards and a touchdown. He is one of the most productive wide receivers in the NFL. Through five games, he has 34 catches, 535 yards and two touchdowns. He is a set-it-and-forget-it fantasy asset.

Cooper Kupp is coming back home to play for the Seattle Seahawks.
Cooper Kupp is moving on from the Los Angeles Rams to play for the Seattle Seahawks. The free agent wideout has signed a deal with the Seahawks for 3 years and $45 million.
Much will be made about what impact this has on Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Njigba was the WR-9 in 2024. He logged 100 receptions, 1,130 receiving yards, and was No.12 in targets with 137. Cooper Kupp is at the stage where he is going to need to be moved around the formation with favorability towards the slot role. This poses a problem for JSN as he was No.1 in slot snaps last season with 701.
This is also a head-scratching move as Kupp will be 32 when the 2025 season starts. From an efficiency standpoint last season, Kupp was 60th in fantasy points per target at 1.75 and 65th in expected points added at +23.5. While Matthew Stafford can support multiple alpha weapons in Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp with optimism towards Stafford supporting Nacua and Davante Adams in 2024, Sam Darnold does not inspire the same level of confidence in supporting both JSN and Cooper Kupp.
As this move is puzzling from a redundancy standpoint at the wide receiver position, it also brings questions about the stage in which the Seahawks are as far as team building towards being a winning team. Adding an aging, oft injured receiver who will be 32 is not ideal. The Rams have won the ‘sign a 32-year-old’ sweepstakes while the Seahawks are running in place.
The Rams and Seahawks are seemingly headed in different directions. While real NFL circumstances are to be noted, take advantage of any dip in JSN’s dynasty stock and best ball ADP by scooping him up anywhere you can!
