The big story of Sunday Night Football was supposed to be Kenneth Walker III returning to the Pacific Northwest to face his former team. I say supposed to be because Jaxon Smith-Njigba served notice that any time he’s on the field, he’s the story.
JSN went off for 150 yards and a TD on nine receptions (including 129 yards in the first half) en route to a 20-3 victory over the Chiefs, which knocked KC from the ranks of the unbeaten. The showcase performance on primetime is just the latest exclamation point on what is quickly becoming a historic season for the Seahawks’ No. 1 weapon.
JSN is 1 of 1!
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the 1st player in the Super Bowl Era (since 1966) with at least 850 Rec yds and 8 Rec TD in his team’s first 7 games of the season! https://t.co/iWXRYwipsj

So JSN showed up and showed out in Seattle on Sunday night. But what does this mean for some of JSN’s markets on DraftKings Predictions?
Here’s a look at where Jaxon Smith-Njigba stands coming off another stellar performance in Week 7.
Top NFL Offensive Player of the Year Futures
Pricing reflects market sentiment and is subject to change.
As of Monday morning, JSN sits second behind Jahmyr Gibbs in the Offensive Player of the Year markets. Gibbs rushed for 116 yards on 29 carries and added five catches for 27 yards in a win over the Packers. The Detroit running back leads the NFL in total touchdowns with nine, with JSN tied for second at eight. Gibbs is also first in rushing first downs (42), third in scrimmage yards (890), third in rushing yards per game (103.3), and fourth in rushing yards (620). So JSN has his work cut out for him, but don’t count him out just yet.
Most Regular Season Receiving Yards Futures
Pricing reflects market sentiment and is subject to change.
JSN takes a back seat to no one when it comes to the Most Regular Season Receiving Yards markets. His 867 receiving yards leads the NFL and his next closest competitor (Chris Olave) sits 231 yards behind the Seattle wide out. It’s also worth noting that JSN’s 867 yards are just over half of Seattle’s 1,726 receiving yards.
Most Regular Season Receiving Touchdowns Futures
Pricing reflects market sentiment and is subject to change.
JSN also leads the field when it comes to the Most Regular Season Receiving Touchdowns futures markets. As noted above, JSN is second in the NFL in total touchdowns and leads in receiving touchdowns. His eight touchdown catches also account for two-thirds of the Seahawks’ 12 passing scores.
Here’s a look at some key stats for JSN that could factor in his futures markets on DraftKings Predictions.
