JSN's 27.5 PPG pace would set Super Bowl era record; 46% first-read target share.
Smith-Njigba is in a league of his own, operating at a level no receiver has achieved in the past decade. His WOPR of 90 is unmatched; no other receiver has even come close. He's on the receiving end of 46 percent of the Seahawks' first-read targets, a mark no other receiver reaches even at 40 percent. Smith-Njigba is averaging 27.5 PPR points per game, which would set the Super Bowl era record by a comfortable margin if it holds.
