DLF - The Ravens keep taking shots at the position but have yet to find a productive WR1, though 2021 rookie Rashod Bateman still holds promise. JSN didn't run the 40 as he continues to recover from a balky hamstring which essentially cost him all of 2022, but turned in elite times in agility drills, proving to many that he should be this year's top rookie receiver selection. A selection by Baltimore will not sit well with most in dynasty but it would provide immediate starting potential. If he can remain healthy and off the trainer's table, Smith-Njigba has the potential to be an extremely productive receiver in the NFL. He's listed as DLF's WR1 showing that the community fully believes his lingering hamstring issue will not be a long term problem.

DLF - As expected, Smith-Njigba was the first receiver selected, going at #20 overall to Seattle. Many who know Ohio State football believe he's better than both Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson. If that's the case, this is a steal late in round one. There are legitimate questions about JSN and his soft-tissue injuries but if those are in the past, Smith-Njigba is going to create a monster duo with All-World receiver DK Metcalf when Tyler Lockett moves on. Smith-Njigba could be brought along slowly behind Lockett but the upside is real here. Unfortunately, so is the risk. Smith-Njigba is going to be a high-volatility, high-reward pick in the top five of rookie drafts this Spring.
