        Jaxon Smith-Njigba on Track for ALL the Targets

        If you drafted Jaxon Smith-Njigba this summer hoping to watch him Hoover up all the targets in a limited Seattle passing offense, then Week 1 delivered. JSN racked up 13 targets among just 23 Seahawks passing attempts, a whopping 56.5% share. He caught nine of them for 124 yards. That mean's Smith-Njigba accounted for 56.3% of the team's receptions and 82.7% of the receiving yards for the game. NFL Next Gen Stats also credited him with 91% of Seattle's targeted air yards. (Malik Nabers ranks second among Week 1 receivers at 74.3%.)

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        Let's start with the obvious: Smith-Njigba's not going to occupy that large a share of Seattle's pass offense regularly. He might not even see usage at that level again this season.

        If the Seahawks continued at anywhere near that pace, then defenses would have little else to game plan against and thus start limiting him pretty quickly.

        But we're betting JSN will remain among the league leaders in target share throughout the season. Seattle's unimpressive pass offense -- Sam Darnold threw for 150 yards Sunday at 6.5 yards per attempt -- will lead to some down weeks even in that role.

        But Week 1 showed that the wideout's upside can be strong even when his surroundings aren't.

        We'll obviously keep tracking Seattle's weekly target distribution, but be happy that you appear to be getting what you paid for if you drafted JSN.
