Re-Shaping NFL Depth Charts with Week 1 Snap Count Data

A common complaint heading into Week 1 was that some NFL teams had posted depth charts that felt a little...off. Some teams didn't have 11 starters. Some had guys who we knew were in for big roles not listed as starters. Things were not clear. After one week of actual play, we have a clearer […]

Greg Olsen Can Be Avoided In Week 2

D.K. Metcalf Presents Upside In Week 2

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf isn't the shiftiest receiver in the NFL, but he's quickly developing into one of the league's best threats on the outside. He averages 16.0 yards per reception, and it's difficult to slow down a guy with his combination of size and speed. He caught four of his eight targets […]

Tyler Lockett Is A Lock For Week 2

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is rapidly developing into one of the best fantasy receivers in the NFL. In Week 1, he caught all eight of his targets to continue his excellent chemistry with quarterback Russell Wilson. In Week 2, the matchup is much more difficult against the New England Patriots, but you still […]

Chris Carson Should Be Started In Week 2

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson was the RB7 in Week 1 thanks to a pair of receiving touchdowns. In Week 2, it's unlikely that he'll be able to perform to that level again, but you almost have to have him in your lineups. The Seahawks have quickly developed one of the best offenses in […]

Russell Wilson Has To Be Started In Week 2

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was nearly perfect in Week 1. In Week 2, his matchup is much more difficult against the New England Patriots, but you have to keep him in your lineups.

Carlos Hyde Finds The End Zone In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde didn't see a ton of volume with just seven carries for 23 yards, but he did manage to get into the end zone on a one-yard run. With the other injuries in the running back room, it's likely that Hyde will get some work on an every-week basis. However, […]

Greg Olsen Snags A Touchdown In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen did not have the greatest matchup in Week 1, but he managed to finish with some fantasy value. He caught all four of his targets for 24 yards and a touchdown. In PPR, that would give him a 12 point day, and you'll take that all day long considering […]

Tyler Lockett Is Efficient In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett picked up right where he left off last year in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons. He caught all eight of his targets for 92 yards.

D.K. Metcalf Goes Long In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf doesn't catch every target thrown his way, but he makes big plays happen when he does catch them.

Chris Carson Salvages His Day Through The Air

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson couldn't get much going on the ground, but he was able to salvage his day through the air. He finished his day with six carries for 21 yards to go with six catches for 45 yards and two touchdowns. Carson and the rest of the running backs just couldn't […]

Russell Wilson Lights It Up In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson might have put together the best week of his career in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons. He completed 31-of-35 passes for 322 yards and four touchdowns. He also added three carries on the ground for 29 yards, which made him the team's leading rusher. The Seahawks got out to […]

DeeJay Dallas, Phillip Dorsett II Inactive In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks running back DeeJay Dallas is a healthy scratch in Week 1 against the Falcons, while wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II (foot) won't play either. Neither player was expected to be a fantasy option this week, so in the short term, these decisions don't mean much. But Dallas being inactive does suggest he's not […]
