Jaxon Smith-Njigba enters the 2026 NFL season as the Seahawks' clear alpha wide receiver following his 2025 Offensive Player of the Year campaign of 1,793 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. Through two weeks, the 24-year-old has already posted four receiving touchdowns on 17 catches for 277 yards, including a career-high three scores in a Week 2 win over the Cardinals. He commands roughly 44% of Seattle's targets and air yards despite a new offensive coordinator in Brian Fleury and quarterback uncertainty between Sam Darnold and Drew Lock. Early dominance against softer secondaries, plus a favorable Week 3 matchup at Washington, supports elevated expectations for another high-volume season across 17 games, though regression from this torrid start remains possible as defenses adjust.
