The Seahawks made some big changes to their receiver group this offseason and they led to Jaxon Smith-Njigba moving up to the No. 1 job in the offense.

Smith-Njigba’s made that look like a very wise decision so far this season. Smith-Njigba leads the league in receiving yards despite playing in one fewer game than many of his peers and his three October appearances have a lot to do with that.

Smith-Njigba caught 24 passes for 417 yards and three touchdowns while helping the Seahawks to a 2-1 record.
