If Smith-Njigba Misses Time

Next man up: Montorie Foster JR.

Montorie Foster JR. is next on the Seahawks depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Smith-Njigba misses time.

Who else it affects

His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Drew Lock would lose one of his main options.
