| #Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who recently underwent surgery to repair a small broken bone in his wrist, is expected to begin the season on the active roster, source said. No word yet on his availability for W1, but avoiding IR/designated to return is a sign he'll play soon. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: While Smith-Njigba's already slim prospects of overtaking DK Metcalf or Tyler Lockett have virtually disappeared with the time he'll miss due to this injury, this news does bode well for him to be relevant in fantasy after Seattle's Week 5 bye. The rookie was reportedly the star of Seahawks' training camp, so expect Seattle to put as much on his plate as he can handle once he is fully healthy. Fantasy managers should not hesitate to buy the dip with him and stash him as a strong WR4 option.
