Matchups We Love

Jalen Hurts (QB, PHI)

The Eagles concluded their murderer's row schedule by failing to score an offensive touchdown in an embarrassing beatdown in Dallas. Hurts was a flop for the first time all year, but that's bound to change against the Seahawks, whose defense was roasted by the 49ers and Cowboys in back-to-back weeks. Hurts did surprisingly miss practice on Saturday with an illness, but is fully expected to play on Monday night.

Eagles WRs

Despite no trips to the end zone, A.J. Brown came through with nine receptions for 94 yards while DeVonta Smith was five for 73. They also combined for a ridiculous 85% target share. In the first game with Dallas Goedert back, Smith ran a route on 100% of Hurts's dropbacks as usual, had a season-high 36% targets per route run rate, earned a season-high 38% target share, and was the only player targeted in the end zone. It's only a one-week sample, but so far so good for Smith. Seattle is allowing the sixth-most points to receivers over the past six weeks, keeping both in your lineup this week.

Seahawks WRs

Drew Lock did his best to keep them afloat in Week 14 while getting the start for an injured Geno Smith, and he succeeded early. They were even up by three after the first quarter against the Niners. Unfortunately, they scored just six points in the remaining three quarters in a blowout loss. As we draw closer to Monday night, it looks more and more likely as if Lock will again be under center for Seattle. DK Metcalf was part of that early success, finding the end zone, but finished with only two catches. Meanwhile, Tyler Lockett revived his role with six grabs for 89 yards despite the rookie, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, leading the team in targets with seven. The matchup is fantastic, but the ceiling is capped if it's Lock at the helm again. Metcalf can be considered a top-20 wideout with Smith-Njigba and Lockett in the top 36.

Matchups We Hate

Seahawks RBs

Both backs returned to action with Kenneth Walker III resuming his role as the starter. He had a slight edge in snaps, routes run, and targets while Zach Charbonnet saw more carries and played more of the long distance downs. Neither did well against the 49ers' stout run defense with Walker's 54 total yards as the better of the two. It's another difficult spot against the Eagles, so both fall outside the top 24 with Walker as the preferred tailback.

Other Matchups

Dallas Goedert (TE, PHI)

As we outlined above, there was nothing left for anyone else after the dynamic duo at receiver took theirs. Goedert had a season-high in route participation but his target share was down. It's a good matchup against Seattle and it's his second contest back from injury, so he's a top-12 tight end.

D'Andre Swift (RB, PHI)

The hope for Swift was that he'd be utilized as a receiver given the negative game script. Zero targets say otherwise. It ended up hurting his production because they were down so much they started using Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott more. The matchup is there for a bounce-back performance. The Seahawks rank second-to-last in rushing yards per attempt allowed over the past three weeks, third-to-last in EPA per rush allowed, and are giving up the second-most fantasy points to RBs over the past six weeks. He stays in the top 24 for what should be an easy win.
