Jaxon Smith-Njigba Receiving Yards Prop Bet for Seahawks vs. Chiefs

Jaxon Smith-Njigba O 93.5 Receiving Yards (-111)

After winning Offensive Player of the Year last season, Smith-Njigba has been brilliant to begin this season, leading the NFL with 717 yards. The wideout has topped 100 yards in 5-of-6 games, including 12 catches for 134 yards vs. the Broncos last week, which was a very impressive performance, considering Denver is allowing the fifth-fewest yards per pass this season (5.8).

Smith-Njigba is in another tough spot tonight vs. the Chiefs, as Kansas City is giving up the sixth-fewest yards per pass (5.9), but as we saw last week vs. the Broncos, Smith-Njigba is a matchup-proof player and the superstar should exceed 93.5 yards in this matchup.

Smith-Njigba is leading the NFL with a 32.3% target share while running a route on 86% of his team’s dropbacks. The receiver is averaging 3.79 YPPR, which ranks third among the players who have run 20+ routes. Smith-Njigba has seen 10 targets over 20 yards and he has a knack for thriving in primetime games.

When competing in a night slot game the last two seasons, Smith-Njigba is averaging 98.3 yards per game and he has cleared 93.5 yards in 5-of-8 games.
