Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a strong performance in Week 1 against the New England Patriots, totaling eight receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown. He was targeted a game-high 11 times.
The performance was aided by quarterback Drew Lock, who stepped in after Sam Darnold suffered a hip injury after only one drive. Lock was able to connect with Smith-Njigba, helping him exceed 100 receiving yards. The ability of a quarterback to positively impact a receiver’s performance is highlighted, referencing Justin Jefferson’s fantasy value being affected by quarterback play last season.
Despite uncertainty at the quarterback position for Week 2, Smith-Njigba is expected to remain a top fantasy option as a WR1.
