Jaxon Smith-Njigba: the thread

[StripesOfKC]

When did this become a redraft forum? I pointed out that 3 of the top 4 WRs from last year's class were fantasy afterthoughts for nearly the entire first half of the season.

It's been 4 weeks into the season and JSN was recovering from a broken hand. Let's see how this plays out all season before we start throwing up red flags.

The same people panicking now probably sold Garrett Wilson for a late 1st, and Christian Watson & Drake London for a second after week 6 last year. Heck, they might've even dropped ASRB halfway through his rookie year.

Sheesh.

Christian Watson yeah but absolutely no one was panicked about Wilson or London after the first 4 weeks of last season---like nobody

In just week 2 they showed how legit they were

Garrett Wilson had basically the same exact month-long stretch that JSN had (10/100 over weeks 4-7 vs 12/70 weeks 1-4 for JSN), I get that he flashed before that, but he also wasn't recovering from a broken hand competing with 2 pro-bowl caliber WRs.

Christian Watson had a whopping 10/94 over his first 6 career games (!).

Drake London had 28 for 278 yards over a freaking 10 game stretch.

All I'm saying is those rookies had really tough times as well and none of them were recovering from a broken hand competing against 2 pro-bowl caliber WRs. They turned out just fine over a much larger sample size because you can't judge a player off of 4 games, let alone the first four of their career given the surrounding circumstances in Seattle.

If week 12 rolls around and JSN is still a part-time player putting up 3/25 stat lines, that's when I'll start to reassess the player.

Signs of life the last couple of games

Nice couple of games for JSN, he's looked the part lately. Obviously helps having Metcalf back, but his usage the seem before was much improved coming out of the bye.

Route participation % is up, aDot is much higher, and he's delivered solid numbers back to back weeks. I don't really see him being consistent this season behind Metcalf & Lockett but its always comforting seeing a player flash when given opportunity. He's probably just a flex/bye week option moving forward but could be a WR 2 if something were to happen to Metcalf or Lockett.

I actually had to put JSN in a lineup in week 7, with JJ on IR and Chase on bye, paid off well.

Anyone still panic selling JSN?

Anyone still panic selling JSN?

I was never panic selling but I still don’t think being a top end dynasty asset is in the cards for him

I sold my one share for Aiyuk and Demario Douglas a couple weeks in which I’m still happy with

If he had done worse these past couple weeks I would have looked to buy for cheap from owners who might have been panicked and thought he was a bad player but that’s not happening now

[Space Cowboy]

JSN vs Puka still going strong

[Cameron Giles]

Usage seems better. YAC skills are popping and he's been on the field a lot more. Downfield usage is growing

Score, and agreed.

How do people view JSN vs. Brandon Aiyuk value wise? There's a 4 year age gap but I think JSN owners would be happy if he turned out to be Aiyuk? Who do you prefer?

I see them ranked next to each other and I’d happily move my shares of JSN for Auyik

Aiyuk is an easy every week starter right now. jSN isn’t, so it depends on you rosters and contention
