FullTime Fantasy Rookie Scouting Profile: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR) Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR) Ohio State Height Weight 40-Time DOB NFL Draft Dynasty ADP NFL Comp 6-1 196 4.52* 02/14/2002 1st 1.02 Amon-Ra St. Brown *Pro Day College Production Another five-star recruit out of Rockwall High School in Texas where he was named the 6A Player of the Year in 2019. Smith-Njiba played sparingly as a freshman, accumulating 49 yards on 10 grabs. Broke out in a huge way in 2021, amassing a Big Ten record 1,606 receiving yards. He also posted a record-breaking Rose Bowl performance with 15 receptions for 347 yards and three touchdowns while teammates Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson opted out of the game. Following 2021, Smith-Njigba earned third-team Big Ten and All-American honors. Smith-Njigba battled a hamstring injury in 2022 and recorded only four grabs. FFWC Dynasty Orphans are now on sale!

Strengths • Versatile inside/outside threat with premier hands and elite route-running capabilities from anywhere. • Outstanding hands catcher who also excels in contested-catch situations. • Gets into and out of breaks at top speed. Knack for finding weaknesses in zone coverage and always finds ways to get open. Tremendous instincts and feel. • Led NCAA in yards per route run in 2001 despite running 88.6% of his routes out of the slot and averaging 9.4 ADOT. • Does most of his damage out of the slot but has the instincts, speed, and route skills to be a formidable downfield weapon. Areas for Improvement • Lack of top-end speed. Posted just a 44th-percentile Speed Score. That may force NFL teams to see JSN as only a slot option. • 122.0 Burst Score is merely average (54th percentile). • Missed most of 2022 season with a hamstring injury and declined to run the 40 at the NFL Scouting Combine. • Had some concentration drops. Fantasy Outlook JSN has long been coveted as a potential PPR beast since his breakout 2021 campaign. Last year was certainly a disappointment but being timed between 4.48 and 4.53 in the 40 at Ohio State’s Pro Day quelled some of the concerns. If Smith-Njigba’s outstanding route-running and ability to exploit coverage gaps transfers to the NFL, he profiles as a potential slot monster in the Amon-Ra St. Brown/Keenan Allen mold. Smith-Njigba is a locked-in first-round talent who has a very good shot at being the first wide receiver selected in the 2022 NFL Draft. That warrants attention as the 1.02 overall in non-Superflex Dynasty Rookie drafts. Other Rookie Profiles Bijan Robinson JOIN OUR MAILING LIST!

Rookie Scouting Profile: Bijan Robinson
FullTime Fantasy 2023 NFL Draft Rookie Scouting Profile: Bijan Robinson Bijan Robinson (RB) Texas Height Weight 40-Time DOB NFL Draft Dynasty ADP NFL Comp 5-11 215 4.46 01/30/2002 1st 1.01 Saquon Barkley College Production A five-star recruit out of Salpoint Catholic (AZ) where he compiled three consecutive seasons with 2000-plus rushing yards and averaged a robust 13.7 yards per tote figure. The Longhorns won the recruiting battle and Robinson starred immediately. Accumulated 705 rushing yards and 15 grabs as a true freshman in 2020. Was named a semi-finalist for the Doak Walker Award, Maxwell Award, and Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award in 2021. Won the Doak Walker in 2022 and garnered unanimous All-American honors as a junior. Leaves Texas as the school’s fourth-highest rusher and scorer (41 touchdowns). The Dynasty Football World Championships Orphans are now on sale!

Strengths • Three-down back with superlative size, power, speed (108.7-speed score), and all-around ability. • Consistently showcased elite vision, power, and decision-making ability. Possesses the strength and agility to be a plus short-yardage and red-zone option as both a runner and receiver. • Led nation in missed tackles forced (104) and boasted the second-highest overall RB grade per PFF. • Has the speed, size, and hands to be a problematic matchup as a receiver out of the backfield. Can stay on the field on all downs and game scripts. • Excellent footwork. Is able to make quick cuts and can fit any scheme. • Durable and tough. Gets stronger with more carries. Bell-cow back that kind take over and close out games without losing effectiveness. • Has the power to run over defensive backs. Can pop out of traffic and has enough long speed to take short gains to the house. Areas for Improvement • 89th-percentile speed score but lacks the elite top gear to separate from faster defensive backs. • Solid receiver but doesn’t always reel in catches with hands. • Can hold his own as a pass-blocker but will need to work to improve against bigger, faster NFL defensive ends and pass rushers. • Will have to learn to let plays develop and rely on blockers when accounting for much faster NFL defenders. Fantasy Outlook Bijan Robinson is poised to join Earl Campbell, Ricky Williams, Cedric Benson, and Jamaal Charles as the next great NFL and fantasy running back. Robinson has the perfect blend of size, speed, and power to excel. Plus, he’s a very good pass catcher who won’t need to come off the field. He’s been considered a can’t-miss prospect since his freshman year and his play has more than warranted the accolades. In early best-ball drafts, Robinson is often being nabbed as a first-round selection and top-three back. Even in SuperFlex dynasty rookie drafts, Bijan is the locked-in 1.01. One of the safest picks in the 2023 NFL Draft, Robinson could sneak into the top 10 but is a lock for Day One. In redrafts, Robinson is already contending for RB1 honors and should command and ADP near the 1/2 turn. There’s risk in being that bold, but the reward makes snagging Robinson tantalizing.
