Jaxon Smith-Njigba at Denver — Elite Volume Keeps Him Locked In

Smith-Njigba was limited in practice early this week with an ankle injury, though he returned to finish last week's contest with 102 yards and a touchdown. Operating as the primary weapon in Seattle's passing attack alongside Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed, he remains Sam Darnold's preferred target. Be sure to check back for the latest news on his game-day availability.

If active, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats. Our weekly projection lands around 6 receptions for 88 yards and strong touchdown potential (projected for 20.5 fantasy points). Even in an outdoor road matchup with a modest projected total, his historic start and seven touchdowns maintain an elite weekly ceiling.

Kalif Raymond at Atlanta — Low-Volume Slot Role in a Potential Shootout

Operating out of the slot alongside Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, Raymond has seen his involvement dwindle with just five receptions for 12 yards across his last two games. With quarterback Caleb Williams questionable due to a hamstring injury, Chicago's passing consistency faces added uncertainty heading into Atlanta.

Fantasy trust has cooled rapidly, with his start rate dropping to 9% as managers seek higher upside. Our models project Raymond for roughly 3 catches and 31 receiving yards, leaving him with limited standalone appeal despite a high-scoring game environment. He is best left on fantasy benches this week.
