What happened: Jaxon Smith-Njigba is projected for 136 receptions, 2,093 receiving yards, and 19 touchdowns over a full 17-game slate. In 2026 through 7 games, he has caught 58 passes for 867 yards and 8 touchdowns for Seattle. Smith-Njigba has topped 100 receiving yards in six of seven games this season.

Why it matters: Reaching 2,093 receiving yards would surpass the NFL single-season record of 1,964 yards. The sustained volume establishes Smith-Njigba as the premier focal point in Seattle's aerial attack. Maintaining that production keeps the offense operating at an elite pace through the second half of the schedule.

What to watch: Seattle heads into Week 9 aiming to sustain Smith-Njigba's target share against shifting defensive coverages.
