Why it matters: Selected 20th overall out of Ohio State in the 2023 draft, he has become the undisputed focal point of the aerial attack. His sustained volume provides crucial stability as teams jockey for playoff position in November.

By the numbers: Through eight games in 2026, Smith-Njigba has logged 64 receptions for 985 yards and nine touchdowns.

What to watch: Defenses are expected to increase bracket coverage against him in upcoming regular-season contests.
