Smith-Njigba was the first of 32 receivers selected in the 2023 NFL Draft, but he finished seventh among rookie wideouts in receptions (63) and eighth in yards (628) while scoring four times. While those are decent numbers, there were plenty of fantasy owners disappointed by the former Buckeye's efforts in Year 1. Look for things to improve in 2024. JSN was a standout in OTAs and minicamps, drawing praise from the coaching staff and those that cover the organization. Granted, we're talking non-contact work, but the arrow appears to be pointing up.
His ascension isn't a slam dunk, however, as he'll need to overtake Lockett to really start making a statistical impact week to week. We're also into uncharted territory with the new coaching staff and what they'll look to emphasize, not to mention the possible upheaval at quarterback if things start to go south for the Seahawks. Fantasy owners can be a fickle lot, and doubtless many will feel burned after they overdrafted Smith-Njigba a year ago. Don't fall into that trap. Given his talent, and the glowing reports about his offseason work, you can draft JSN as a WR4 with decent upside.

 DK Metcalf diagnosed with minor MCL sprain
Considered week-to-week
By: Doug Orth | Mon Oct 21, 7:00 pm
|  | Seahawks WR DK Metcalf - who left Sunday’s win over Atlanta with a knee injury - suffered a Grade 1 sprained MCL and now will be considered “week to week”, per source. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: It's a bummer for one of the league's more durable receivers, but the good news is that he may not miss any games. (Rome Odunze played through a similar injury earlier this season.) With that said, Metcalf's specific injury usually carries a recovery timeline of 1-3 weeks. As such, Seattle could easily decide to sit him for the next two games leading into its Week 10 bye to give him almost a month to get right. Jake Bobo is expected to step into his role in the offense, although Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett should be considered strong WR3 options at worst in his absence.
