Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 4-of-5 targets for nine yards in the Seahawks’ Week 18 win against the Rams, adding one rush for four yards.

JSN saved his worst game for last in an otherwise excellent sophomore campaign. After major struggles as a rookie, Smith-Njigba took over as Seattle’s clear-cut No. 1 receiver and caught 100 of 137 targets for 1,130 yards and six touchdowns in a Seahawks offense that was among the NFL’s pass heaviest for most of the year. After playing from the slot on 69 percent of his routes in 2023, Smith-Njigba operated from the slot on 84 percent of his routes in 2024. His average depth of target jumped from 6.4 in 2023 to 9.2 this season. He earned Geno Smith’s trust early on and overtook DK Metcalf as the top target in the Seattle offense while the aged Tyler Lockett became totally irrelevant both in real and fantasy football. No matter who the Seahawks QB is in 2025, JSN should be considered a top-20 fantasy option at worst.
