  "account": "Fantasy Sports on SI’s Gray Devo has suggested that Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the ideal player to draft with the No. 6 overall pick in 12-man fantasy football PPR league drafts. According to Devo, Smith-Njigba had 119 receptions for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2025. The article states that there is potential for Smith-Njigba to have an even better fantasy season in 2026, given that Seattle is set to lose RB Kenneth Walker III in the offseason. This would likely increase the offensive burden on Smith-Njigba. The article also mentions other top draft picks, including Saquon Barkley, Malik Nabers, Breece Hall, Mike Evans, TreVeyon Henderson, and Brock Purdy, all of whom were selected for rounds 2-7 respectively. Smith-Njigba’s potential to be the most productive player in PPR leagues next season makes him a strong pick for the No. 6 overall choice, even if he is viewed as a first-round star. This report was originally published on Seahawks Wire.",
