Jaxon Smith-Njigba has a breakout game
Put a linebacker or safety on Jaxon Smith-Njigba and he will go DeVonta Smith on someone. Good luck with that… https://t.co/b5U0DI6y7q

When you have two guys named Olave and Wilson on the team, touches as a wide receiver can be hard to come by. But this week, slot receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is going to be a big part of the game plan. The Ducks will try to take away both future potential NFL first-round options, leaving Njigba with some nice matchups to go to work.
He’ll shake open on linebackers and slower safeties and slot personnel and get targeted a lot more than last week. It’ll all add up at least four catches, 75 yards or more, and a touchdown.
