3) Jaxon Smith-Njigba refuses to slow down
Jaxon Smith-Njigba – 948 receiving yards in 2025 – has raced out to a 117-yard lead over the rest of the NFL entering Week 10 despite having only played eight games due to the Seahawks Week 8 bye. He’s racked up at least 75 receiving yards in all eight of those games, and with another such performance in Week 10, he’ll join Hall of Famer Michael Irvin in 1995 and Antonio Brown in 2014 as the only players to reach the mark in each of their first nine games of a season.
With 93 receiving yards against the Cardinals on Sunday, Smith-Njigba can pass 2018 Julio Jones – with 1,040 yards – for the fifth most by a player in their team’s first nine games of a season in the Super Bowl era. Each of the top four spots are within striking distance for the Seattle superstar as well, owned by Tyreek Hill‘s 1,104 yards in 2022 and 1,076 yards in 2023, Hall of Famer Isaac Bruce‘s 1,073 yards in 1995 and Justin Jefferson with 1,060 in 2022.
Smith-Njigba has tallied 100 receiving yards in six of his first eight games this season, which is already tied for the Seahawks single-season franchise record. If he reaches the century mark one more time, he’ll break that six game record set by Hall of Famer Steve Largent in 1979.
