Jaxon Smith-Njigba enters the 2026 regular season as the Seattle Seahawks’ undisputed top wide receiver and focal point of the passing attack after leading the NFL with 1,793 receiving yards and earning Offensive Player of the Year honors in 2025. Through the first three weeks he has posted 27 receptions on 36 targets for 405 yards and six touchdowns, sustaining an elite target share in an offense featuring quarterback Sam Darnold, new coordinator Brian Fleury, and complementary options such as Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed. A massive four-year, $168.6 million extension signed in March further solidifies his role through 2031. Upcoming factors include a tougher remaining schedule, potential defensive adjustments, and the typical regression from an unsustainable early pace that could influence his final reception total.
