The team also remains too dependent on JSN in the passing game. Horton did not receive a target and played a limited role, Shaheed caught only two passes, and Arroyo had just his second target of the season. There are too many weapons being left out of the offense for Seattle to remain this predictable. Fleury needs to find ways to involve the other receivers without sacrificing Smith-Njigba's production.

JSN remains elite but Seattle's offense is too dependent on him in the passing game.

JSN remains an elite weapon and the team's primary passing-game target, but Seattle's offense is too dependent on him; Horton did not receive a target and played a limited role, Shaheed caught only two passes, and Arroyo had just his second target of the season. The source argues that Fleury needs to find ways to involve the other receivers without sacrificing Smith-Njigba's production by creating concepts that make the defense defend the entire formation and give Darnold clear reads, rather than forcing the ball to every player to distribute targets evenly.
