Overview
- Smith‑Njigba recorded 10 catches for 128 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday and now leads the NFL through three games with 405 receiving yards, six receiving TDs and 27 receptions.
- Seahawks PR and team reporting say he became the fourth player in the Super Bowl era with six TDs in the first three games and he set a Seattle mark for most catches in his first four seasons.
- ESPN Insights notes he joins Jerry Rice as the only players with 120+ yards and a touchdown in each of a team’s first three games, placing his start alongside all‑time receiving seasons.
- Media outlets and insiders have projected long‑season paces and elevated his fantasy and MVP profiles, including a 2,295‑yard 17‑game projection and top weekly fantasy rankings, but analysts warn three games is a small sample.
- His volume has continued despite changes at quarterback and a Week 3 loss, raising questions about how sustainable the pace is and what it will mean for Seahawks wins, awards voting and defensive game plans going forward.
