What happened: Jaxon Smith-Njigba has shouldered the bulk of Seattle's passing offense through the early weeks. The Seahawks have faced persistent questions regarding depth and consistent production behind their top target.

Why it matters: A concentrated target share leaves the offense vulnerable if defensive coverages shift to neutralize Smith-Njigba. Establishing a reliable secondary receiving option remains critical for Seattle to sustain balance across the offense.

What to watch: Watch how Seattle distributes targets and whether complementary options emerge in the passing attack.
