Smith-Njigba is fully healthy and heads into a plus matchup, with Arizona surrendering 209 receiving yards per game to wideouts and tight ends. He's Seattle's clear alpha target, coming off an 8-catch, 122-yard, one-TD outing in Week 1. At $8,100 with a 20.5 projection, he's a strong start; a drop-off would require reduced target share or a shift in game script.
