Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Massive numbers after slow start
Jaxon Smith-Njigba brought in 12 of 16 targets for 134 yards in the Seattle 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 latter 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. JSN already has five 100-yard efforts in his first six games of the season, and his tendency to dominate Sam Darnold's attention will once again make him an elite option in all formats during a Week 7 Sunday night home showdown against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Oct. 25.

Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Limited on first Week 6 report
Jaxon Smith-Njigba was estimated as a limited practice participant Monday due to an ankle injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.Per Gregg Bell of Sports Radio 93.3 KJR Seattle, Smith-Njigba appeared to get dinged up on a 16-yard lateral run early in the second quarter of Sunday's 32-29 loss to the 49ers. The injury didn't end up costing the star wideout any significant playing time, but it could result in his practice activity being monitored closely in Week 6 while the Seattle Seahawks face a quick turnaround with a Thursday game versus the Broncos. At this stage of the week, the expectation is that Smith-Njigba will be able to play without any restrictions.

Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Brilliant again except for late drop
Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught five of eight targets for 102 yards and a touchdown while adding a 16-yard rush in Sunday's 32-29 loss to the 49ers.Smith-Njigba topped 100 receiving yards for the fourth time in five games and scored his seventh touchdown of the season on a 16-yard catch in the third quarter, but his heroics weren't enough as the Seattle Seahawks fell to 3-2. Seattle's four turnovers bear most of the blame for the loss, though JSN had an uncharacteristic drop on the Seahawks' penultimate offensive play, which would have put Seattle in position for a game-tying field goal had he caught it. Smith-Njigba will have a short turnaround before Thursday's home game against the Broncos, in which the star receiver will have a chance to add to his season total of 583 receiving yards.

Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Notches 76 receiving yards
Jaxon Smith-Njigba gathered in five of six targets for 76 yards during Sunday's 30-23 win against the Chargers.Smith-Njigba's 27-405-6 line on 36 targets through three games to kick off the campaign perhaps wasn't sustainable, but his Week 4 performance was nothing to sniff at considering he paced the Seattle Seahawks in targets among QB Sam Darnold's 22 pass attempts. Smith-Njigba put up at least as many receiving yards in 15 of his 17 regular-season appearances in 2025 as he did Sunday, so a bounceback seems likely when he next takes the field next Sunday versus the 49ers.

Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Another massive performance Sunday
Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 10 of 14 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Commanders.Having Sam Darnold back under center instead of Drew Lock did nothing to slow Smith-Njigba's momentum. The superstar wideout recorded his third straight game with more than 120 receiving yards while hauling in his fifth and sixth TDs of the season, catching a one-yard toss in the second quarter and an 11-yard strike in the fourth. Smith-Njigba will take an eye-popping 27-405-6 line on 36 targets into a Week 4 clash at home against the Chargers.

Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Cranks it up in second half
Jaxon Smith-Njigba brought in eight of 11 targets for 122 yards and a touchdown in the Seattle Seahawks' 13-10 win over the Patriots on Wednesday.The reigning Offensive Player of the Year endured a relatively difficult first half after making a 13-yard catch on the second play from scrimmage, losing starting quarterback Sam Darnold to a hip injury after the first drive of the game and experiencing some trouble separating from Patriots star cornerback Christian Gonzalez. However, JSN picked up the pace significantly as No. 2 signal-caller Drew Lock got into a rhythm, recording key third-down catches on consecutive second-quarter possessions and then delivering a dynamic 45-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the fourth quarter following Drake Maye's first interception. Smith-Njigba also subsequently managed a timely 11-yard grab on the drive that culminated with Jason Myers' go-ahead field goal that served as the final points for either side, and the star receiver ultimately delivered game-high totals in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Any extended absence on Darnold's part would stand to affect Smith-Njigba's week-to-week upside, but the standout receiver's chemistry with Lock as Wednesday's game unfolded was encouraging.
