Jaxon Smith-Njigba exploded for eight catches, 162 yards, and a TD, anchoring Seattle's offense and transforming it into a dangerous vertical threat on Sundays. He became the engine of the attack, forcing defenses to pick their poison and opening room for other playmakers.

Leading the NFL in receiving yards and averaging 16.6 yards per catch, he pairs with Darnold's revived deep-ball rhythm and Clint Kubiak's balanced approach to lift Seattle to a 4-2 start atop the NFC West. If this level holds, he becomes a top fantasy asset and a league-wide breakout story.

Seattle's defense overwhelmed Jacksonville 20–12, piling up seven sacks and smothering the Jaguars' ground game. The front four dominated the line, collapsing pockets and forcing Trevor Lawrence into constant hurry. A patchwork secondary held firm as depth players stepped in, keeping Seattle on a championship trajectory through early October.

If Devin Witherspoon and Julian Love return healthy, this unit could push toward NFC elite. The blueprint—hybrid fronts, relentless pressure, disciplined gaps—has taken hold, and Seattle's ceiling is rising fast with a resilient, balanced overall team identity.

Devin Lloyd’s calf issue after the Week 6 loss to Seattle has Jacksonville weighing Week 7 against the Rams. Lloyd played the first half, then tightened up at halftime and was pulled for Ventrell Miller, with coaches cautiously testing Lloyd’s readiness for the next test. If Lloyd can’t go, Miller slots into the lineup next to Oluokun, a familiar and productive pairing for run defense and coverage.

Tight ends Brenton Strange and Quintin Morris are both being evaluated for an abductor issue, adding a layer of uncertainty to the Jaguars’ Week 7 plan. With the bye on the horizon, Jacksonville hopes the extra time accelerates healing, but the upcoming game will hinge on Lloyd’s availability and how Miller handles extended responsibilities with a playoff push in mind.
