2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Historic Pace, Clear WR1
Smith-Njigba continues to be the WR1 on the season, producing 28.0 PPR points per game, which is 5.3 points higher than the next closest WR.
If the season ended today, Smith-Njigba would have the highest PPR per game mark ever by a WR.
That’s even more impressive considering he’s done it while catching passes from both QB Sam Darnold and backup QB Drew Lock in an offense that ranks 17th in passing yards.
There isn’t a WR who’s compiled more weeks with at least a 25% target share than Smith-Njigba has on his way to posting a 35.1% target share that leads all WRs.
The matchup-proof WR still projects as a high-end WR1 taking on a Bears defense in Week 8 that’s reducing WR production by 4.9%.
