BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 61% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: While Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has yet to have a true breakout game in his first NFL season, he's still been providing Seattle with some solid football.
Smith-Njigba has recorded at least 40 receiving yards in four consecutive games as well as six of the last seven. That's definitely demonstrated a solid fantasy floor for the former Ohio State star.
Of course, he hasn't had more than 63 yards in any game this year and has just two touchdowns, which displays the other side of the coin for JSN: he has a relatively low ceiling as well.
Still, he's a talented player who has played at least 60% of Seattle's offensive snaps in seven consecutive games, including posting his second-highest snap rate of the season against the 49ers last week.
While his production hasn't caught up with his talent yet, Smith-Njigba is worth adding in 12-team leagues because he's one of the few players on the waiver wire at this point with his kind of upside. If D.K. Metcalf or Tyler Lockett were to go down at some point this season, Smith-Njigba would instantly be a flex option in 12-team leagues. Sure, he might languish on your bench if the two of them stay healthy, but the upside is worth wasting a bench spot on the rookie.
