Add a league for Mock Drafting, Draft War Room & In-season sync
The Athletic’s Mike Dugar expects Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba to line up outside the numbers more often this season. JSN has run 77% of his routes from the slot through two NFL seasons. But the addition of WR Cooper Kupp, who's also a primary slot receiver, will alter Smith-Njigba's deployment this year.
Smith-Njigba ran 83.6% of his routes and scored 84.4% of his PPR points from the slot last year. He averaged 1.91 yards per route from the slot vs. just 1.30 from the outside. He was also primarily a slot receiver at Ohio State.
Smith-Njigba has the route-running ability to win from the outside, but we have enough data to suggest that he's likely better in the slot.
We'll look for more clues this summer about exactly how much JSN will be kicked to the outside. For now, consider this a slight ding on his 2025 fantasy outlook.
