Jaxon Smith-Njigba is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for wide receivers. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 7 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba had his best game so far on Sunday, catching four of his five targets for 48 yards. It's been a bit of a rough start to Smith-Njigba's rookie campaign, but anyone who watched him in college knows how dynamic he can be.
With 11 targets over the past two games, it looks like the Seahawks are working to get him the ball more often. He has a chance to be a really solid fantasy player in the second half of the season, though having D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett on the team lowers his ceiling since there are only so many targets to go around.
That said, he can also be viewed as a "handcuff" wide receiver. If Metcalf or Lockett miss any games this season, JSN would immediately become a strong flex consideration. He draws a favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7, so he can be utilized as a desperation flex play immediately.
