Cardinals' zone-heavy approach limited JSN to 51 yards in Week 9; Raiders plan similar strategy.

Smith-Njigba's lowest output of the season came in Week 9 against Arizona (10 targets, 7 receptions, 51 yards, 0 TDs), when the Cardinals deployed zone-heavy, two-high safety looks that bracketed him over the top and forced him into shorter underneath routes. The Raiders are studying this defensive approach and plan to employ similar zone-heavy coverage to mitigate his deep and intermediate route damage, where he does most of his work.
