Leaving the Pack Behind

R-E-L-A-X was the soundbite from quarterback Aaron Rodgers in 2014 when the Packers started badly in their season, but in Green Bay now he has to be thinking that was a warm distant memory. Since that season there has been a huge amount of upheaval, and that is reflected in the fantasy output of Green […]

Bobby Wagner Seals Game With Pick-Six

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner did it all on Sunday. He racked up 12 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, and then, just to top it off, he took an interception 98 yards for a touchdown to finish off San Francisco. Wagner is once again in the running for Defensive Player of the Year, though […]

Sebastian Janikowski Struggles In Win

Seattle Seahawks kicker Sebastian Janikowski was perfect on extra points coming into Sunday’s game, but that didn’t last long. SeaBass missed the very first extra point opportunity he got on the day, and then he went on to miss a second one later in the game as well. Granted, Janikowski was called on for a […]

Doug Baldwin Brings In A Touchdown Against SF

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin only caught two passes on Sunday, but one was for a one-yard score. Baldwin tied for the team lead in targets with just four, but he was thrown at twice in the red zone. This game is a hard one to use as a judge of future performance since […]

David Moore Shut Out Against 49ers

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore was held without a single target against the 49ers on Sunday. Moore has been a revelation this season, so the lack of usage was surprising, but Seattle also only threw the ball 17 times on the day. Moore did get to play a role in the team’s best end […]

Jaron Brown Snags Two Touchdowns In Win

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaron Brown has been a ghost for weeks, but as a reminder to all fantasy owners that Seattle’s receiving corps is actually quite deep, he was targeted for a pair of touchdowns this week. In his first targets in a month, Brown hauled in three passes for 67 yards and two […]

Tyler Lockett Scores Another TD

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett was at it again on Sunday when he caught just one pass in the game but took that one to the house. Lockett was one of the game’s early trendsetters by hauling in a 52-yard touchdown on the team’s first drive in the second quarter. The score brings Lockett’s […]

Rashaad Penny Runs Wild

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny got the chance to show his skills against San Francisco, and he made good on the opportunity. With starter Chris Carson exiting early due to a finger injury, Penny carried the ball seven times for 65 yards and a touchdown. While the 49ers defense isn’t very good against the […]

Russell Wilson Shellacks San Francisco

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson sliced up San Francisco’s defense like it was no big thing on Sunday. Wilson started the game by having his first four completed passes go for three touchdowns and 102 yards. He would go on to fire another touchdown later in the game, and he finished the day with a […]

Chris Carson Suffers Dislocated Finger

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that running back Chris Carson (finger) suffered a dislocated finger in the Week 13 win over the 49ers, but Carroll said Carson "should be OK." The good news is that Carson has an extra day to recover, with the team playing the Vikings in Week 14 on Monday […]

Forget ADP - Bench These Players If You Can

Most leagues will be wrapping up their regular season in Week 13. For others, the playoffs have already begun. Whatever the case may be, this is very much in win-or-go-home territory. There's no room for error in making lineup decisions. That's why you need to bail on underperforming "studs" if you haven't already. No reason […]

C.J. Prosise's Season Is Over

The Seattle Seahawks placed running back C.J. Prosise (abdomen) on Injured Reserve on Saturday, ending his season. Prosise just hasn't been able to stay healthy in his career and will end the 2018 season with just one carry for minus-three yards and three catches for 22 yards in five games for Seattle. He's still only […]

Week 13 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions

Week 13 is here with a bang! We are past all the byes and we are back to just having the one game on a Thursday. Unfortunately the Saints high flying offense was somewhat lost to the week against a very good Dallas defense. The good news is that other high flying offenses in the […]

Bobby Wagner Continues To Anchor Defense

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner is once again getting some consideration for Defensive Player of the Year as he leads Seattle's defensive core. Wagner tallied 13 tackles against the Panthers last week, giving him 13 tackles in three of his last four games, and he's been the one constant while the entire rest of the […]

Doug Baldwin Not On Injury Report

Though he was limited in practice all week due to his lingering groin injury, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin will not have an injury designation heading into Sunday's game. Baldwin has clearly been hampered by the injury throughout the season, but he's pushed through it to still stay on the field as much as […]

David Moore Looking For More Big Plays

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore just always seems to be in the right place at the right time for a big play, and he should have no problem continuing that trend against a weak secondary this week. SF's defense is one of the most generous in the league for wide receivers, and Moore's knack […]

Tyler Lockett In For A Big Game

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has been the team's most productive wide receiver all season, and that will likely continue on Sunday against the rival 49ers. Lockett was huge last week against the Panthers, and with a soft San Francisco secondary in his future, expect Lockett to hit pay dirt once again. Lockett has […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 13): NFL DFS Lineups

We once again have a quality Sunday slate to look at in Week 13. Unfortunately, we do lose the New Orleans Saints from the slate but with the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams back we receive a big boost in talent. In addition, we have some questionable pass defenses facing each other in […]

Chris Carson Is Still The Primary Back

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson hasn't been tasked with the workload many other primary backs have seen, but he's still clearly the primary choice for Pete Carroll's offense. While Mike Davis and Rashaad Penny have hovered nearby and gotten more than a handful of carries this season, Carson has logged considerably more than both. […]

Russell Wilson A Solid QB1 Against SF

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson looked excellent on the game-winning drive against Carolina last week, and he should continue his dominance over the 49ers this week at home. Wilson is 10-2 in his career against San Francisco, and Seattle is a heavy favorite to top them once again. Wilson is also in the midst of […]

C.J. Prosise An Injured Reserve Candidate

Seattle Seahawks head coach Peter Carroll said running back C.J. Prosise (abdomen, groin) has been dealing with his injury for a while, and there is no timetable for his return. He is currently week-to-week and could be a candidate for Injured Reserve if the team needs a roster spot. Prosise has just one carry for […]

Rashaad Penny To Have Bigger Role This Week?

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer hinted that rookie running back Rashaad Penny would have a bigger role in the offense in Week 13 against the 49ers. Penny was used frequently in Weeks 10 and 11 with Chris Carson banged up, but he carried the ball just four times for four yards and played only […]

J.D. McKissic Activated From Injured Reserve

The Seattle Seahawks activated running back J.D. McKissic (foot) from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. McKissic hasn't played at all this year after fracturing a bone on the outside of his foot in the preseason. His fracture was a Jones fracture. He had 453 combined yards in 2017 but will be buried on the depth chart […]
