What happened: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has recorded 64 receptions for 985 yards through eight games in 2026. The former first-round pick has also caught nine touchdown passes during that span.

Why it matters: The production follows a four-year, $168.6 million contract extension agreed to in March 2026. His scoring pace and yardage establish him as the primary target in the offense during the 2026 campaign.

What to watch: Seattle continues regular-season play as Smith-Njigba approaches the 1,000-yard receiving threshold.
