Duplicate thread here: CRITICAL: Niagara Effects Not Working In Level Sequence As Of v42.00

Just writing to confirm we also see this and connecting that thread which seems to have more engagement (helping to paint the picture of how many might be impacted).

As of 26.09.18, there is still a bug where playing Niagara in Sequencer does not play properly! As of this date, has the bug not been fixed yet? When will 43.00 be updated?

As a work around before this gets patched, you can add a system life cycle track and Niagara should play in sequencer.
