The best receiver I saw on tape last season, Smith-Njigba scored 21.2 fantasy PPG in 2025 (second most among WRs) and led the league with 1,793 receiving yards. A true multilevel target, JSN can uncover at the short-to-intermediate areas of the field, plus he has third-level juice. Last season, Smith-Njigba's 18 receptions and 6.9 fantasy PPG on throws of 20 or more air yards led the league. The unquestioned No. 1 receiving option for QB Sam Darnold, Smith-Njigba gives you consistent volume and playmaking upside.
