Jaxon Smith-Njigba just landed as the #7 overall player in the latest 2026 Full PPR fantasy football rankings, and if you haven’t seen it yet, you better brace yourself. With NFL training camps and the preseason now in full swing this August, these rankings are way more than just numbers, folks; they’re a massive signal of what’s coming, and our guy JSN is right there in the elite tier. This isn’t just some random fantasy blip; it’s a huge shout-out to the receiving talent we’ve got brewing right here in Seattle. It tells you everything you need to know about the kind of impact he’s projected to have this regular season.
Our Guy JSN is an Untouchable Top-Tier Target
Being ranked #7 overall in a league packed with hundreds of playmakers means Jaxon Smith-Njigba is being projected as an absolute game-wrecker, a true superstar. For us loyal fans in the Emerald City, this is massive for the Hawks’ offensive outlook. In a PPR league where you get a full point for every single catch, a player like JSN is pure gold. Think about what this means for our offense: our receiving corps, with Smith-Njigba leading the charge alongside Rashid Shaheed and Cooper Kupp, looks like it could be absolutely electric under OC Brian Fleury. This ranking screams that JSN is ready to be a primary focal point, catching everything Sam Darnold throws his way and turning it into serious yardage, down after down. Every smart fantasy manager knows the draft is just the start, but having a foundational piece like JSN locked in at #7? That’s how you build a championship roster, both in your fantasy league and out there on Lumen Field.
The KW3 Shift and a New Hawk Emerges
Now, for the part that might just sting a little: Kenneth Walker III is ranked #14 overall, which is fantastic, but he’s explicitly listed as an RB for Kansas City. Yeah, you read that right. It’s always a tough pill to swallow to see a guy with that kind of talent playing for another team, especially when he’s still projected to be so high-performing. He’s clearly still a top-tier fantasy back, just not for us anymore. But hold up, the Hawks aren’t left out of the running back conversation! Jadarian Price, our own RB here in Seattle, slides in at #66 on the list. This tells you our backfield still has some serious potential and depth, and Price is definitely a guy you need to keep an eye on. While Kw3 might be making waves elsewhere, the fact that Price is on this list means Coach Mike Macdonald and OC Fleury have another potent weapon they can unleash on opposing defenses.
As we move deeper into the preseason and inch closer to kickoff, keep these rankings handy. Comparing them to your fantasy platform’s system can show you exactly who to target and who to maybe pass on. But more importantly, for us, it gives a clear glimpse into the national perception of our players and how the pieces on the field might just fit together. We’re talking real football here, not just fantasy predictions, and the massive potential for JSN to absolutely light up the stat sheet means an incredibly exciting regular season is right around the corner. Get ready, 12s. Go Hawks!
