Yahoo Fantasy Football on Jaxon Smith-Njigba

JSN's Week 1 target share beat his 2025 season-high; elite talent in well-designed offense.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba dominated in Week 1 despite Sam Darnold's early exit, catching 8 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown with 95 yards after contact over expected. He ran 14 routes from 11 personnel with balanced deployment (43% slot, 43% wide, 14% backfield), getting favorable matchups away from Christian Gonzalez. His Week 1 target share exceeded his 2025 season-high 35.8% mark. Harmon emphasized that supporting players like Rashid Shaheed remain merely supporting actors in orbit around JSN, and even with a backup QB, Smith-Njigba's elite talent and well-designed offense ensure he gets plenty of layups.
