Smith-Njigba's 122-yard Week 1 forces Arizona into aggressive man coverage, creating upside opportunities.

Smith-Njigba posted an eight-catch, 122-yard performance against New England in Week 1. The source notes that Arizona cannot sit in soft zone coverage and allow Lock to take easy completions underneath, meaning the Cardinals must employ man coverage to contain Smith-Njigba. This aggressive coverage approach should create opportunities for Smith-Njigba to win on the outside, particularly on third downs and in the red zone where Arizona will likely deploy man-to-man schemes.
