ESPN Fantasy Football on Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Smith-Njigba matched Kupp's 16 games of 13+ points; elite consistency with Darnold.

Smith-Njigba is the optimal Round 1 pick for the 5-slot team. He scored 13 or more fantasy points on 16 occasions last season, matching Cooper Kupp (2021) for the most such games in NFL history. That's difficult to match, even for a player like Amon-Ra St. Brown. Smith-Njigba put up a career year in 2025, his first season with Sam Darnold at quarterback. He's part of the four-player wide receiver Tier 1 and offers more weekly consistency than Puka Nacua, though Nacua has a higher ceiling.
