Jaxon Smith-Njigba Limited By Knee Injury

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Limited By Knee Injury

11 months ago

Seattle Seahawks wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba (knee) and Jake Bobo (knee) were both limited in Wednesday's practice due to knee injuries. Smith-Njigba, a first-round pick back in the spring, has been pretty steady in his first NFL season as the No. 3 wideout behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, catching 59 of his 86 targets for 602 yards and three touchdowns. He's only had one game of double-digit targets, though, and hasn't exceeded 63 receiving yards in a single game. Metcalf and Lockett are healthy heading into Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, too, so no added targets should be expected this weekend. As long as JSN doesn't have a setback with his knee injury at practice later this week, he should play on Sunday and serve as a WR3/flex for fantasy managers still chasing hardware in their league.
