2025 Fantasy Outlook

Role & Volume

• Led the Seahawks in targets, receptions, and yards in 2024

• With Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf, and Geno Smith gone, projects to retain or grow in target share

• Expected to play a mix of slot and outside receiver under new offensive scheme

Efficiency & Metrics

• High fantasy efficiency from Week 9 onward in 2024

• PPR-friendly profile due to reliable short/intermediate route success

• One of the most productive slot receivers in football

Risk Factors

• Modest touchdown production (6 TDs) limits ceiling unless red-zone usage increases

• Offensive change under new OC and Sam Darnold at QB could lead to variable efficiency

• Addition of Cooper Kupp may impact target dominance if Kupp returns to form

Headliner Take

Jaxon Smith-Njigba enters the 2025 season as the clear top receiving option for the Seahawks after a breakout 2024 campaign in which he recorded 100 receptions for 1,130 yards and 6 touchdowns. His strong target share, consistent slot production, and ability to rack up catches in PPR formats make him a reliable WR2 option with upside. With key veteran departures in the offense and the addition of Kupp, Smith-Njigba is positioned for heavy volume again, though his modest touchdown total from last season highlights a potential cap on ceiling unless red-zone opportunities increase.
