Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is in an excellent position to succeed in Week 16. The Seahawks are hosting the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings have been one of the worst teams at stopping opposing passing games in fantasy this season. Part of that is due to the fact that the Vikings are so adept at stopping the run. However, their struggles in the passing game are very real. Smith-Njigba has slid into the No. 1 wide receiver role in Seattle's offense this season. He is six yards away from his first 1,000-yard season and he has scored five touchdowns. Smith-Njigba should see plenty of volume this week. The Seahawks are likely going to have to air it out to keep up with the Vikings and avoid their run defense. Smith-Njigba has WR1 upside as a result.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 10 of 12 targets for 83 yards in a Week 15 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Smith-Njigba was one of the lone bright spots for the Seahawks in this game. He was the only pass catcher to record more than three receptions or 28 receiving yards. The performance indicated that Smith-Njigba may be moving into more of a No. 1 wide receiver role rather than a No. 2 in this offense. He has consistently outperformed wide receiver DK Metcalf over the last several weeks. Additionally, he earned nine more targets than Metcalf in Week 15. Smith-Njigba's role is steady at this point and the only thing that could hurt his fantasy output is if quarterback Geno Smith (knee) is forced to miss time. Sam Howell replaced Smith in the second half of Sunday's game and did not look ready for the moment. For now, Smith-Njigba managers must monitor Smith's status as we approach another week of the fantasy playoffs.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba will play the No. 9 defense against opposing wide receivers when the Seahawks host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. Smith-Njigba has delivered as a high-end WR2 to low-end WR1 of late. He currently sits as the WR6 in fantasy with four games to go. Smith-Njigba is being anchored by target volume. He is consistently leading or coming in second on the team in targets each week. He has squarely taken over wide receiver Tyler Lockett's role in the offense. He has even been more productive than DK Metcalf (shoulder) over the last few weeks. With Seattle providing a balanced offensive attack, the passing game has become far more efficient. Although Smith-Njigba is not scoring many touchdowns, he should earn plenty of receptions and yards in this game. Keep him confidently in your lineup.
