STACKED’s take
Smith-Njigba on pace for 2,106 yards; first receiver ever to reach 2,000-yard season.
Smith-Njigba has 867 receiving yards in seven games (123.9 yards per contest), on pace for 2,106 yards and 19 TDs on 141 catches from 189 targets. He is the first player with 850 receiving yards and eight touchdowns through seven games since Lance Alworth 61 years ago. The source projects he could become the first receiver ever to reach 2,000 receiving yards, surpassing Calvin Johnson's 1,964-yard record from 2012. Unlike Tyreek Hill's 2023 Week 8 start (903 yards, fell to 1,799), Smith-Njigba faces favorable defenses ahead: Chicago Bears, Arizona Cardinals, Las Vegas Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles, and Dallas Cowboys—none will stop him. Only injury is a realistic threat to the 2,000-yard milestone.
