Fantasy Football Spotlight: Jaxon Smith-Njigba earns elite place in Seahawks fantasy lore.

Before the 2025 fantasy football season started, we took a comprehensive look back at the 12 Greatest Seahawks in Team History from fantasy perspectives. Steve Largent was the highest-ranked wide receiver at fourth overall, and Tyler Lockett, Joey Galloway, DK Metcalf and Doug Baldwin all made the list of the Seahawks’ legendary fantasy dozen.

When we revise and update the list, Jaxon Smith-Njigba will already crack the top 12 of all time based on his 2025 season alone. He led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,793 and was fourth in the league in receptions while also catching 10 TD passes. He finished second in total Fantasy Points (345.5) and Fantasy Points Per Game (21.6) through the fantasy football weeks for all wide receivers in 2025, according to stathead.com.

Most fantasy football leagues run for 17 weeks of the NFL regular season, yet if we include all 18 weeks, JSN totaled 359.9 Fantasy Points and averaged 21.2 FFPG, which also ranked second in each category for the 2025 campaign. Overall, Smith-Njigba’s 359.9 total points were the second-most Fantasy Points ever scored in a season by any Seahawks player.

JSN finished less than two points behind Shaun Alexander’s 361.8 Fantasy Points record for the most in a season, recorded during his 2005 NFL MVP campaign. His FFPG numbers rank as fourth-best on the all-time ladder, no matter whether you use his 17 or 18-game totals.

Of course, we must note that JSN’s 17 games played were one more than logged in most other top Seahawks fantasy seasons of all time. His 2025 season was the only one among the top 10 that included a 17-game ledger.

Yet even if we remove the 18th week for pure comparative purposes, Smith-Njigba’s 345.5 Fantasy Points would still rank fifth all-time and would still be the second-best of any non-quarterback. He by far outdistanced the previous best fantasy football wide receiver season recorded by a Seahawks player. DK Metcalf’s 2020 performance, in which he scored 271.3 points, is the only other WR season in the top 25 of franchise history.

Smith-Njigba ascended to the lofty top levels of fantasy football WRs, among the very best in the game. He registered the 19th-best fantasy football season ever among all players at his position. In a few years, JSN might be rocketing up on the all-time Seahawks fantasy countdown, and we already have to consider that he may eventually catch Largent on the all-time list if he remains on his current trajectory.

Looking under the statistical hood as many fantasy players like to do, PlayerProfiler.com notes that Smith-Njigba finished second in Explosive Play Rate at WR (144.2), first in Target Share (35.9 percent), second in Air Yards (107.8 per game) and fourth in Yards After Catch (582). He was also third in Expected Fantasy Points Per Game (19.1) and second in Fantasy Points Per Route (0.75). He also led all players in Fantasy Points Per Target against man coverage (2.23).

According to ESPN.com, Smith-Njigba was the second-most rostered player on 2025 fantasy football teams that won their league championships on their platform, at 25.2 percent. If JSN helped you win a fantasy football title in 2025, you should consider donating to his charity as a way of thanking him for his efforts.

The JSN Family Foundation is dedicated to empowering youth, individuals and communities through a lifestyle of service, guided by resilience, integrity and hard work. Fantasy football players can learn more about the JSN Family Foundation and contact the charity here.

Now we answer the early question about where Jaxon Smith-Njigba should be drafted among the top fantasy football players in 2026.
