Positive signalProjection

Smith-Njigba's 44% target share and 77% catch rate sustain elite production with backup QB.

Smith-Njigba's 44.0% target share through two weeks exceeds his 2025 season-leading 35.8%, and the source expects it to remain well above 36% going forward. He has caught 77% of targets (higher than his 73% from last season) while averaging 139 receiving yards per game, all with backup QB Drew Lock filling in for Sam Darnold. The source notes 'everything continues to look identical to 2025,' suggesting sustained elite production. Rashid Shaheed's offseason hype has bumped his target share to 18%, but it hasn't diminished Smith-Njigba's volume.
