From the article
Efficiency is always a concern when looking year to year for fantasy football and it's hard to ignore how efficient Jaxon Smith-Njigba was in 2025... Sam Darnold played out of his mind, and the Seahawks ran pure... re-signing Rashid Shaheed to a big contract could allow him more opportunity to be involved.
STACKED’s take
JSN's elite efficiency (2.10 PPR on deep balls) unlikely to repeat; Shaheed and Horton add competition.
Smith-Njigba ranked fifth in targets but was second in receiving yards (1794) in 2025, showing elite efficiency that is hard to sustain. He averaged 2.10 fantasy points per reception on passes 20+ yards downfield with a 60% catch rate on those deep balls—only he and Alec Pierce (2.02) were above 1.80 among wide receivers with 10+ targets 20 yards downfield. Sam Darnold played out of his mind and the Seahawks ran pure. While they haven't added major competition, re-signing Rashid Shaheed to a big contract could allow him more opportunity, and Tory Horton should be healthy after playing only eight games with five receiving touchdowns. The efficiency gains are unlikely to repeat.
