Our guy Jaxon Smith-Njigba is coming off an absolutely monster 2025 season, leading the entire NFL with a ridiculous 1,793 receiving yards, and now he’s right there at the top of the odds for 2026. The Emerald City saw him light up Lumen Field all last year, and the oddsmakers at DraftKings Sportsbook have him listed at +650 to lead the league in receiving yards again. That’s third-best odds in the entire league, showing just how much respect JSN is getting after his breakout year.
The Receiving Yards Race Is Stacked, But JSN Is A Top Dog
This receiving yards race is going to be tight, y’all. Puka Nacua, who finished just behind Jaxon last year with 1,715 yards in one fewer game, is the favorite at +550. Ja’Marr Chase is right there too at +600. But our Jaxon showed everyone in 2025 he’s the real deal, grabbing that top spot. Don’t forget, other stars like Amon-Ra St. Brown (+950), CeeDee Lamb (+1100), and Justin Jefferson (+1400) are also in the mix, with Lamb and Nico Collins looking to bounce back after abbreviated 2025 seasons. Collins had 1,117 yards in 15 games, and Lamb posted 1,077 yards in 14. But Jaxon’s 2025 performance was on another level, proving he can run with anyone in the league.
Touchdown King Potential For Our Star Wideout
It’s not just yards where Jaxon is expected to shine. He’s also got excellent odds to lead the league in receiving touchdowns, sitting at +800. That puts him fourth-best, just behind Ja’Marr Chase (+650), Davante Adams (+700), and Amon-Ra St. Brown (+700). Last season, Jaxon hauled in 10 touchdowns, tying with guys like Amon-Ra St. Brown and Puka Nacua. That’s serious red zone threat capability! While Davante Adams led the league with 14 touchdowns on just 60 catches, JSN’s 10 scores show he’s a consistent weapon when the Hawks get close to the goal line.
What does all this mean for the Hawks? With Jaxon leading the charge and setting the pace for the entire league, our offense is going to be electric. He’s proven he can get it done, and as we kick off the new regular season, seeing JSN as a favorite to dominate both yards and touchdowns has every 12 pumped. Get ready, Seattle, because Jaxon Smith-Njigba is about to give the league another show.
