his real-time ADP puts him at WR30, but he's also likely to be the cheat code to fantasy this season... earned a near 25% target rate and posted a 2.2 yards per route run number that placed him 15th in the league... ended up 15th in points per routes run... it's hard to imagine he doesn't replicate his numbers in the fantasy playoffs, where he was the WR7 on just 1 touchdown from Weeks 14-17.

Smith-Njigba at WR30 ADP offers cheat-code upside with proven 25% target rate.

Smith-Njigba's WR30 ADP is a value opportunity despite being positioned as a potential cheat code this season. In his first year in Liam Coen's scheme, he earned a near 25% target rate and posted 2.2 yards per route run (15th in league), dominated versus man and zone coverage, and finished 15th in points per routes run. Though his usage was initially driven by injuries, with Travis Hunter now focused on defense and Smith-Njigba excelling in camp, he's positioned to replicate his fantasy playoff performance (WR7 from Weeks 14-17 on just 1 touchdown).
