Smith-Njigba will get home whether his QB is playing well or not. If he is, JSN is scoring TDs. If he isn't, then JSN is getting more targets. Last week's 21.5 expected half PPR points on 16 targets is the perfect example of just that. He's the WR1 on WR3 usage this season and is essentially matchup-proof with his RB room looking like one of the worst in the league.

JSN WR1 on WR3 usage; matchup-proof despite facing league's toughest defense.

Smith-Njigba projects for 89.5 receiving yards and is ranked WR1 on WR3 usage, essentially matchup-proof with one of the league's worst RB rooms. Last week's 21.5 expected half PPR points on 16 targets exemplifies his floor: he scores TDs if his QB plays well, gets more targets if not. He draws the league's toughest WR matchup against Kansas City (32nd in half PPR points allowed to WRs across all depth zones), but faces CB1 Mansoor Delane and CB2 Nohl Williams—neither Pro Bowl talents yet—so the advantage remains with JSN. Seattle enters as 2.5-point home favorites with 22.5-point implied total (16th).
