BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR26
ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has had a solid sophomore season after an up-and-down rookie year. The former Ohio State star is the WR40 over the first month, averaging 8.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He hasn’t found the end zone in the first four contests. Yet, the second-year pro has had some massive fantasy performances.
Smith-Njigba had five targets in the Week 1 and Week 3 contests. However, he had 16 targets in Week 2 and 12 last week. The second-year pro has averaged 10 receptions for 84 receiving yards and 13.4 fantasy points per game in those two high-targeted contests.

Meanwhile, the Seahawks face the New York Giants in Week 5. The matchup shouldn't be a close contest, with the Giants missing Malik Nabers (concussion). Furthermore, Devin Singletary (groin) likely won’t play. Therefore, this game could be over quickly.
However, fantasy players should expect solid production from Smith-Njigba before the game becomes a blowout. New York has surrendered 136 receiving yards, 1.5 touchdowns, and 30.3 fantasy points per game to wide receivers over the past two weeks.
