"..."	"Washington will stick around Atlanta after spending the entirety of the season with the team's practice squad, earning one elevation to the active roster in Week 1 against the Buccaneers. The running back played 10 snaps on special teams in the contest, failing to record any stats. With Tyler Allgeier set to become a free agent in the offseason, Washington could compete for the top reserve role behind Bijan Robinson in 2026."

Trends

"Smith-Njigba is entering his third NFL season following a breakout 2024 in which he ranked top 10 among wide receivers in routes, receptions, yardage and fantasy points (19th in PPG). Operating primarily in a short-area role, "JSN" was, however, limited to six TDs and ranked 16th in end zone targets (11). The 2023 first-round pick got more downfield opportunities in 2024 than he did as a rookie and perhaps will get even more in 2025 with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett out and Cooper Kupp in as his wide receiver running mate. Smith-Njigba will also have a new playcaller (Klint Kubiak) and quarterback (Sam Darnold), which adds some uncertainty, but the bottom line is he's an emerging star and, at 23 years old, younger than some incoming rookies. Smith-Njigba is a WR2 who could crack the top 10 with another leap forward."

"The Seahawks played from ahead and were satisfied with relying on their run game, meaning Sam Darnold attempted only 26 passes. Smith-Njigba still managed a solid eight targets, double the amount of any other Seattle pass catcher. Half of his six receptions also went for over 15 yards, helping him top 80 receiving yards for the fourth time in his last five games. With the performance, Smith-Njigba ends the regular season with 118 receptions for 1,793 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns."
