Jaxon Smith-Njigba's outlook for the 2025 fantasy football season appears grim, largely due to a shifting landscape in Seattle's offense. With the departure of Geno Smith and the arrival of Sam Darnold, expectations for high passing volume have plummeted. The Seahawks' new offensive coordinator, Klint Kubiak, emphasizes a run-heavy scheme, countering last year's pass-heavy approach that helped JSN achieve WR15 status in half-PPR rankings.

Adding to the challenges, Seattle has also signed Cooper Kupp, further complicating Smith-Njigba's slot involvement. The reduced target share coupled with a likely decline in the offense's overall efficiency makes JSN a riskier draft pick. Concern over Darnold's performance under pressure and the team's offensive line's struggles enhance the potential for disappointment this season.
