Smith-Njigba's 2025 efficiency unlikely to repeat with Darnold regression and WR competition.
Jaxon Smith-NjigbaWR
Smith-Njigba ranked fifth in targets but was second in receiving yards (1,794) in 2025, posting absurd efficiency. However, efficiency is always a concern year to year. Four of his touchdowns came on passes of 20+ yards downfield, on which he had a 60% catch rate and averaged 2.10 fantasy points per reception—unsustainable levels. Sam Darnold played out of his mind, and the Seahawks ran pure; regression is likely. Additionally, re-signing Rashid Shaheed to a big contract could give him more opportunity, and Tory Horton should be healthy after finishing with five receiving touchdowns despite playing only eight games.
