Seahawks Beat: Jaxon Smith-Njigba lining up everywhere

Michael-Shawn Dugar on X

Aug 05, 2025 · 9:07 PM EDT

Jaxon Smith-Njigba plays everywhere. More importantly, he’s targeted from everywhere.

Related players: Cooper Kupp, Tory Horton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling

Fantasy Impact:

The author added that there is a notable distinction between lining up everywhere and getting targeted everywhere - "because sometimes you can line up guys everywhere for the sake of calling your players versatile, but they’re not really a threat to the defense," Dugar said. 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. He's 14th among WRs in our rankings.

Seahawks WR Tory Horton working in three receiver sets

Seattle Times

Aug 05, 2025 · 9:35 AM EDT

“[Tory Horton is] making multiple plays every day,” coach Mike Macdonald said after Saturday’s practice.

Enough to make a climb on the team’s depth chart.

In Saturday’s open practice at Lumen Field, Horton typically worked as the starter in three-receiver sets along with veterans Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp and ahead of veteran free agent signee Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Fantasy Impact:

Teammates of Horton have already been impressed and are calling him the "steal of the draft," which is the basis of the story. Our friends at Dynasty League Football have said to target Horton in dynasty league drafts, at least in the middle rounds. As for redraft leagues, he still has some climbing to do on the depth chart to have value in typical leagues, but it's not totally out of the question he could end up passing Kupp, who struggled last year and has been hit with injuries as well. Horton will be someone to keep and eye on in camp and preseason games.

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.

WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling signs one-year deal with Seahawks

Veteran WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling is signing with the Seahawks on a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million, per sources.

Related Players: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jake Bobo, Dareke Young

Fantasy Impact:

This adds a little bit of depth to the wide receiver room and gives Sam Darnold a much-needed deep threat. Valdes-Scantling himself isn't much of a fantasy target himself though, as the 30-year-old will now be on his fourth team since the 2023 season.
