ESPN ranked Smith-Njigba No. 3 overall in their superflex fantasy football player rankings
for points per reception leagues ahead of the upcoming slate of games, with his consistency and ability to deliver explosive performances making him a premier option for fantasy managers to look to in such formats.Smith-Njigba and the Seahawks will face the Chicago Bears in Week 8. JSN leads the league in receiving yards with 867 and receiving touchdowns with eight heading into the matchup, giving fantasy managers plenty of reasons to expect another strong performance from him against
Chicago’s defense.
The Bears’ ability to limit opposing passing attacks will be tested against one of the NFL’s most dangerous receiving threats. Chicago has allowed the eighth-most passing yards to opposing teams in the NFL this season with 1,784, though they’ve allowed the fourth-fewest receiving touchdowns with seven, providing an important measure of the challenge that Smith-Njigba will face against the Bears defense.
Smith-Njigba has recorded more than 100 receiving yards in six of seven games played this season, including five games with more than 120, and is on a historic pace in the receiving yards department. Following a dominant Week 7 showing, in which he recorded 150 REC yards and a REC TD against the Kansas City Chiefs, he enters the upcoming matchup with momentum firmly on his side. His remarkable production, consistency and touchdown potential make him one of the most elite superflex options available in Week 8, with the potential to deliver another difference-making performance for team managers.
