There hasn't been a more productive receiver in the NFL this season than the Seattle Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Entering Week 18, Smith-Njigba leads the league in receiving yards with 1,709, and also ranks in the top five in receptions (113) and touchdowns (10).

Though Smith-Njigba is having a historic season, he's off to a quiet start in Seattle's Week 18 game versus the San Francisco 49ers.
