Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a complete dud in the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Smith-Njigba finished with three receptions for nine yards. He also completed a pass for 35 yards. While he did have six targets, Smith-Njigba's lack of air yards was disappointing for fantasy managers and reminiscent of his rookie season in 2023. Smith-Njigba was coming off three straight games with double-digit fantasy points, so his Week 7 dud was out of character. It did not help that quarterback Geno Smith only threw for 207 yards after hovering at, or over, 300 yards in the past five games. Smith-Njigba continues to be a difficult fantasy asset to trust in 2024. It would appear that a full-on breakout may not be in the cards for the second-year wide receiver. The Seahawks offense runs through wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) and running back Kenneth Walker III. Everyone else in the offense is secondary and the ball tends to be spread around.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba enters the Seahawks' Week 7 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons coming off of three straight games with double-digit fantasy points. While that is nothing to write home about, he has earned 28 targets over that time span. Smith-Njigba's target volume has been huge as the Seahawks have to throw to keep up in games. Fellow wide receiver DK Metcalf is entrenched as the No. 1 option in this offense and Tyler Lockett continues to play a possession role. Given the Seahawks' passing volume, there is room for another player to step into a huge role alongside Metcalf. With Smith-Njigba receiving ridiculous target volume, it feels like it is only a matter of time before that translates to great fantasy success. This Week 7 matchup against the Falcons is not scary. Atlanta is No. 21 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy in 2024. This game should be a high-scoring affair giving Smith-Njigba a safe floor and a potentially high ceiling.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba's target share continues to remain high. He seems to have found some consistency as Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers marked his third straight with at least seven targets. He has consistently kept pace with the targets earned by DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. Smith-Njigba's only issue is that he has not scored many touchdowns. Quarterback Geno Smith has only thrown six touchdowns on the season and has thrown exactly one in every game so there have not been a lot of touchdowns to go around. Still, Seattle's offense continues to have to throw at a high rate to keep up with more challenging opponents as the season progresses. That will bode well for Smith-Njigba's volume throughout 2024.
