  • Don't be surprised if ... JSN makes history, Baker Mayfield has a stellar Week 8

    Don't be surprised if Jaxon Smith-Njigba makes NFL history, don't underestimate Baker Mayfield and more bold predictions.

    ESPN · 2d ago

  • Smith-Njigba caught nine of 12 targets for 150 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Chiefs.

    After leading the league in catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns through Week 6, Smith-Njigba increased his pace with a season-high 163 scrimmage yards Sunday night. JSN scored his eighth touchdown of the season on a 28-yard catch in the second quarter, with four apiece having been thrown by Sam Darnold and Drew Lock. Smith-Njigba became the sixth player in NFL history to reach 100 receiving yards in six of his team's first seven regular-season games. He led the league in receiving yards last regular season and is showing no signs of slowing down heading into a Week 8 home game against the Bears on MNF.

  • Smith-Njigba brought in 12 of 16 targets for 134 yards in the Seahawks' 17-14 overtime loss to the Broncos on Thursday.

    Despite the Broncos being down Pat Surtain (ankle) and Talanoa Hufanga (ankle), Smith-Njigba and the Seahawks' air attack as a whole couldn't get much going through the first half-plus of play. The All-Pro receiver turned it on in the later portion of the contest, however, and he ultimately finished with season highs in receptions and targets, along with his second-highest amount of receiving yards. Smith-Njigba already has five 100-yard efforts in his first six games of the season, and his tendency to dominate Sam Darnold's attention once again will make him an elite option in all formats during a Week 7 Sunday night home showdown against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 25.

  • Smith-Njigba (ankle) practiced fully Wednesday and doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game in Denver, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

    The Seahawks listed Smith-Njigba as limited on practice estimates Monday and Tuesday due to an ankle issue, but it didn't hold him back Wednesday, and he thus is in the clear for Week 6 action. He'll be looking to build upon the massive 37-583-7 line on 50 targets that he's amassed through five contests to start the campaign.

    RotoWire via ESPN · Oct 14

  • Smith-Njigba (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

    The Seahawks did not practice Tuesday for a second straight day, and as was the case Monday, Smith-Njigba was estimated as a limited participant. He will have one more day to get some work in before Thursday's game against the Broncos.
