Look of the Day for Thursday, Nov. 30: Jaxon Smith-Njigba is catching on

Our Look of the Day for Tuesday night fell flat, as Goga Bitadze came 2.5 points + rebounds short of the over and barely played in the fourth quarter because of the blowout. Let's switch gears and target a player prop for this week's "Thursday Night Football" matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Seattle Seahawks. 

Look of the Day: Jaxon Smith-Njigba over 42.5 receiving yards (-110 FanDuel)

It took Jaxon Smith-Njigba a few weeks to establish his role in this Seahawks offense. The rookie recorded just 12 catches for 62 yards over the first four weeks of the season, but he's been much more involved in the passing game since the team's Week 5 bye.

Over Seattle's last seven games, Smith-Njigba has averaged 5.3 targets, 3.7 catches and 49.1 receiving yards per game. JSN has gone for more than 13 yards per catch over that span, and he should see plenty of action on "Thursday Night Football" against the Cowboys.

The Cowboys are 8.5-point favorites against the Seahawks, and with the way Dallas has been playing of late, it wouldn't be surprising if it takes an early lead and plays from ahead all game. That would force the Seahawks to air it out in catch-up mode, which means more pass attempts for Geno Smith and more targets for Smith-Njigba. 

JSN might need only three or four catches to go over this number because of how he's used down the field in the passing game.
