Jaxon Smith-Njigba fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 4 (2024). Should you start or sit Jaxon Smith-Njigba for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/Flex
ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers should still consider starting Jaxon Smith-Njigba in their lineup this week against the Detroit Lions, given his recent surge in production and consistent involvement in the Seahawks' offense.
Even though Smith-Njigba had just three catches for 39 yards in Week 3, he did have a strong performance of 12 catches for 117 yards in Week 2, and it's clear that Smith-Njigba is carving out a significant role as a reliable target for quarterback Geno Smith.
His ability to consistently catch passes and make plays after the catch makes him a valuable asset, particularly in PPR formats, where his reception volume can lead to solid fantasy points.
Just watched every Geno Smith Week 3 dropback.

The matchup against the Lions presents a favorable opportunity for Smith-Njigba to continue his upward trend. The Lions have sometimes struggled to defend against the pass, especially against dynamic slot receivers like Smith-Njigba.
With the Seahawks likely to look to exploit defensive weaknesses, Smith-Njigba could see increased target share, mainly if opposing defenses focus more on containing DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
This combination of recent performance and a favorable matchup makes Smith-Njigba a worthy start for fantasy managers looking to maximize their scoring potential this week. Fantasy managers can view Smith-Njigba as a WR3 or Flex option in Week 4.
