Smith-Njigba was the best receiver in football last season, but some think he might regress a little in 2026.
The 2025 season for Seattle Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was superb, as he helped propel the NFC West franchise to a Super Bowl.
In the regular season, Smith-Njigba posted 1,793 yards and 10 TDs from 119 receptions to be the most dominant receiver in football.
And that form continued into the postseason as he would rack up 199 yards and 2 TDs from 17 receptions in three games.
In truth, there wasn't anything that Jaxon didn't do.
As a result, Smith-Njigba won Offensive Player of the Year to add to his Super Bowl ring in what was an extremely productive year for the third-year receiver.
But now perhaps the biggest question now is what does Jaxson have as an encore?
And more importantly, what do others view Smith-Njigba's 2026 season as being?
The oddsmakers have released the over/unders for Smith-Njigba's receiving yards total for the 2026 season, and in truth, it's a little embarrassing.
According to DraftKings via Fox Sports, Smith-Njigba's over/under total is set at just 999.5 yards, with odds of -110 for the All-Pro to be over or under that mark.
For a player coming off a season where he surpassed 1,700 yards, to then have the following years total to be under 1,000 yards is a little odd.
In two of Jaxon's three NFL seasons, he's surpassed 1,000 yards, and you can bet that in Brian Fleury's system, he'll once again be the go-to guy for Sam Darnold.
Of course, after his incredible 2025 season, defenses will try to lock down No. 11 so he isn't the one constantly torching them in the passing game. This is where Seattle's other weapons in Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp, Tory Holton, and Jake Bobo will have to step up.
Because if they can't get open and for the defense to account for them, then Smith-Njigba will get doubled, and Darnold will be forced to beat them with his "lesser" weapons.
Still, when it comes to trying to predict what Smith-Njigba will do on the field in 2026, it can be tough.
Will he have a 1,700+ yard season in back-to-back years? Not likely.
But what about 1,300-yard year from the All-Pro? That, I can see happening.
