Overview
- Through three games Smith‑Njigba leads the NFL with 27 catches for 405 yards and six touchdowns, recording at least 100 receiving yards and a score in each outing.
- If he posts 100+ yards and a touchdown in Week 4 versus the Chargers he will tie Randy Moss’s Super Bowl‑era record of four straight games to open a season with those marks.
- NFL Next Gen Stats show Smith‑Njigba has been especially productive when aligned out wide, with team data crediting 22 catches, 365 yards and five scores from that alignment.
- Chargers coaches have publicly singled him out for his speed, footwork and route instincts, but analysts warn three games is a small sample and opponent adjustments will test the pace.
- Smith‑Njigba’s run follows his 2025 Offensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl campaign, raising award and legacy talk and making his Week 4 performance key to both Seattle’s rebound chances and how defenses will plan going forward.
