"With nearly 300 receiving yards over the past two games, Smith-Njigba, in his third season out of Ohio State, leads the NFL with 696 receiving yards, a pace for a cool 1,972 yards. Some might question whether Smith-Njigba, who finished 12th with 1,130 receiving yards last season, can continue this excellent start with QB Sam Darnold overachieving, with two solid running backs and with Kupp a factor in the passing game. The answer is yes, he can."
"Seattle Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp, no longer among the top options in fantasy football, once caught 1,947 yards worth of passes for the 2021 Los Angeles Rams. He just missed the all-time, single-season mark of 1,964 receiving yards achieved by Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson during the 2012 season. Others have threatened to reach 2,000 receiving yards in recent seasons, including Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson and Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill. Cincinnati Bengals star Ja'Marr Chase led the league with 1,708 receiving yards."
Each NFL week brings surprises that affect fantasy decisions. All fantasy point references are for PPR formats. Cooper Kupp recorded 1,947 receiving yards in 2021, narrowly missing Calvin Johnson's single-season record of 1,964 in 2012. Justin Jefferson and Tyreek Hill have also threatened 2,000-yard seasons in recent years, while Ja'Marr Chase led the league with 1,708 receiving yards last season. Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads the NFL with 696 receiving yards and projects to 1,972 yards on current pace. Questions exist about Sam Darnold's performance, a crowded offense and Kupp's role, but continuation of Smith-Njigba's pace is deemed possible.
