DRAFT RANK
WR-37
PROJ PTS

ADP
85.3
After the Seahawks' Week 5 bye, he played marginally better, putting up a 68.1 receiving grade and scoring the 38th-most PPR points from Week 6 onward. He contributed consistently, gaining between 40 and 63 receiving yards in nine of the remaining 13 games, though he never exceeded 63 yards in a single game.
The question is whether Smith-Njigba can start playing more in two-receiver sets and, most importantly, overtake Tyler Lockett. Lockett is entering his 10th season with the team and will be 32 years old before mid-season.
For Smith-Njigba to consistently be in fantasy starting lineups, two things need to happen: he needs to play better, and he needs to play more in two-receiver sets. If neither happens, he should remain on fantasy benches unless there's a great matchup. If just one of these factors occurs, he will be a value at his current ADP of WR45. If both happen, he could become a top-20 wide receiver.
