STACKED’s take

Positive signalBust

JSN's elite efficiency metrics are unlikely to be sustained in 2026.

JJ Zachariason notes that Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 2025 efficiency, including an 11 yards-per-target rate and +11% catch rate over expected, is unsustainable. Historically, players with these metrics see significant dips in both efficiency and PPR points per game the following season.
