Jaxon Smith-Njigba In A Great Position In Week 8 With DK Metcalf Doubtful
4 weeks ago

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba could be the Seahawks' No. 1 wide receiver in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. With top wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) doubtful for this game, fantasy managers may get a good look at what Smith-Njigba can really do. Smith-Njigba has been frustrating for fantasy managers waiting for a potential breakout. He showed flashes of his potential in Week 2 when he caught 12 passes for 117 yards. He has otherwise had to compete with Tyler Lockett for targets behind Metcalf. With Metcalf likely out of the lineup, expect the Seahawks to consolidate targets between Smith-Njigba and Lockett. Given how top-heavy the Seahawks' wide receiver room is, there is not really anyone who projects to eat into a significant chunk of Smith-Njigba's volume. This game projects to be very high-scoring which should give Smith-Njigba a chance at double-digit targets. He should be in your lineup in Week 8.
