Draft note

by John Paulsen

Smith-Njigba took a massive leap in his second season, finishing as the WR8 after a modest WR46 rookie campaign. JSN seized a featured role in the Seahawks’ passing attack, posting 100 catches for 1,130 yards and six touchdowns. His efficiency was solid as well—he ranked 38th in yards per route run and 35th in YAC per reception (among 110 qualified receivers), both above average marks that reflect his route polish and ability after the catch. Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf are both gone, and Cooper Kupp joins the receiver room, but at this stage of his career, he doesn’t profile as the high-volume option he once was. JSN should lead the way in targets, and with Sam Darnold under center, the passing offense should remain steady. There’s enough passing volume in Klint Kubiak's system to support another high-end WR2 season—or possibly a repeat WR1 finish.

WR Cooper Kupp signs with Seahawks on three-year deal

Seahawks are giving Cooper Kupp a three-year deal, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

JSN's career slot rate is sitting at 77.3%, while Kupp has been mostly featured out of the slot as well, which could signal some more out-wide usage for the youngster. Smith-Njiba is undoubtedly still the WR1 in Seattle, so they will absolutely figure it out, but the two are more interchangeable than it would have been with JSN + DK Metcalf. Continue to consider Smith-Njigba a high-end WR2, while we could see Kupp on the WR2/3 fringe if he is at full health.

SEA WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Chicago Bears

Jaxon Smith-Njigba's emergence as the dominant force in the Seahawks passing attack has been a true success story in the 2024 season. Smith-Njigba has racked up at least 69 yards in each of his last eight games and has cleared 13 Half-PPR points in six of his last seven. He can be trusted as a low-end WR1 against the Bears, who rank 14th in aFPA to wide receivers in 2024.
