Jaxon Smith-Njigba - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Season low in receiving yards Smith-Njigba reeled in seven of 10 targets for 51 yards during Sunday's 17-3 win against the Cardinals.

Impact Smith-Njigba was working with backup QB Drew Lock for the third time this season, as the latter was filling in for Sam Darnold (quadriceps/rib). The result was a season low in receiving yards, which was only the second time this season in which Smith-Njigba failed to reach the century mark. Despite the subpar outing for him, he surpassed 1,000 yards on the campaign for a third straight season, with eight games still to go. Darnold may also be sidelined next Sunday at Las Vegas, which again could impact Smith-Njigba's chances to produce as he has most weeks in 2026.

2026 NFL OPOY Odds: Jahmyr Gibbs Favored; Jaxon Smith-Njigba Closing In

Another 100-yard effort in loss Smith-Njigba brought in six of 11 targets for 118 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks' 34-17 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Impact Smith-Njigba was in his usual position of leading the Seahawks across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and he crossed the 100-yard mark for the seventh time in eight games this season with a pair of catches on Seattle's final drive of the night. Smith-Njigba's target total was also his sixth double-digit tally of the campaign, and the absence of Rashid Shaheed (knee) helped reinforce JSN's downfield role even further. Smith-Njigba will now head into a Week 9 home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday just 15 yards short of his third consecutive 1,000-yard campaign and only a touchdown shy of tying the career-high 10 he recorded over 17 regular-season games last season.

Racks up 150 rec yards, TD in Week 7 Smith-Njigba caught nine of 12 targets for 150 yards and a touchdown while rushing twice for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Chiefs.

Impact After leading the league in catches, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns through Week 6, Smith-Njigba picked up the pace with a season-high 163 scrimmage yards Sunday night. JSN scored his eighth touchdown of the season on a 28-yard catch in the second quarter, with four apiece having been thrown by Sam Darnold and Drew Lock. Smith-Njigba became the sixth player in NFL history to reach 100 receiving yards in six of his team's first seven regular-season games. He led the league in receiving yards last regular season and is showing no signs of slowing down heading into a Week 8 home game against the Bears on MNF.
