Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: New quarterback in 2025
Jaxon Smith-Njigba will catch passes from a new quarterback in 2025 after the Seattle Seahawks traded Geno Smith to the Raiders on Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.The turbulent week in Seattle continues, as previously the Seahawks released WR Tyler Lockett before fellow WR DK Metcalf requested a trade. Last season, Smith-Njigba led all Seahawks receivers in receptions (100), receiving yards (1,130), and touchdowns (six). While potentially losing Metcalf would force defenses to key in on Smith-Njigba even further, the 2023 first-round pick was superb across two games without Metcalf last year, generating 249 yards and two touchdowns. The bigger concern for Smith-Njigba's fantasy value in 2025 is the quarterback, though he should be a target hog once again considering his role in the slot -- where he played 75 percent of snaps last year -- is secure.

Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Quiet finish to stellar campaign
Jaxon Smith-Njigba corralled four of five targets for nine yards while taking his only carry for four yards in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Rams.Smith-Njigba had an unusually quiet finale to what was a true breakout fantasy season in 2024. The 22-year-old still hit a milestone despite Sunday's paltry yardage total, reaching 100 receptions for the first time in just his second season in the NFL. The Ohio State product's 100-1,130-6 receiving line led all Seattle receivers, and he could be in store for even more in 2025 if impending UDFA DK Metcalf decides to part ways with his longtime club after falling into JSN's shadow. Whatever the case, Smith-Njigba is shaping up to make a huge jump in ADP next season after putting up WR1 numbers as a sophomore.
