Seattle Seahawks superstar wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba continues to lead the NFL in receiving yards following the Week 9 slate of games that passed on Sunday.
Smith-Njigba now has 1,036 receiving yards on the season after finishing with seven receptions for 51 yards in the Seahawks’ 17-3 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. He became the first receiver in the NFL to surpass 1,000 yards this year following the win. His consistent production has established him as the league's leading receiver heading into Week 10.
Despite remaining No. 1 on the leaderboard, Smith-Njigba is no longer projected to break Calvin Johnson's single-season receiving yards record of 1,964, set in 2012. Based on his current production, Smith-Njigba is on pace
to finish with approximately 1,956.8 yards, falling just short of the historic mark.
Rounding out the top five on the league’s leaderboard are Dallas Cowboys star WR CeeDee Lamb with 904 yards, Green Bay Packers star WR Christian Watson with 879, Packers WR Matthew Golden with 783 and Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins with 758.
