BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Jaxon Smith-Njigba didn't have the greatest rookie campaign, but he has plenty of room for growth in 2024 and could surpass Tyler Lockett in the pecking order fairly quickly for Seattle.
As a rookie, Smith-Njigba was targeted 93 times, catching 63 passes for 628 yards and four touchdowns. He never had a particularly explosive game, but the former Ohio State star finished with 50 or more receiving yards five times.
Assuming the talk about Smith-Njigba being used more down the field turns out to be true, the Seahawks wideout should be in for a leap in production this season.

Still, fantasy managers should be cautious in Week 1 with Smith-Njigba against the Denver Broncos. He's playable in deep leagues as a flex option, but there's too much risk in shallow leagues until after we see what his 2024 usage looks like.
