From the article
Jaxon Smith-Njigba (vs. NE) - 82.5 proj. receiving yards. JSN versus CB1 Christian Gonzalez is the biggest matchup of Week 1, and it happens on the NFL season opener.
STACKED’s take
JSN faces elite CB Christian Gonzalez; Patriots held WRs 24 yards below average.
JSN versus CB1 Christian Gonzalez is the biggest matchup of Week 1. Gonzalez traveled with JSN in the Super Bowl, running 32 routes before JSN left injured; JSN had 27 yards on nine targets. Gonzalez also semi-shadowed Courtland Sutton in the AFC Conference Championship. WR rooms facing the Patriots last year averaged 24 fewer receiving yards than their season-long average. The Patriots held Courtland Sutton to 17 yards, Quentin Johnston to 20 yards, and Jayden Higgins (without Nico Collins) to 59 yards during their playoff run. This is a challenging opener for JSN. He's still projected for 82.5 receiving yards by the betting markets, which is a real discount to his 100-yard average from 2025. The Seahawks are projected for 23.75 points (11th) at home with a first-time play-caller.
