Seattle Seahawks vs Atlanta Falcons
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Marshawn Lynch
#6 Ranked RB
Lynch had a bounce back week with 13 fantasy points. No, it wasn’t 20-some points, but you can’t be upset with double digits. The Falcons have a middle of the pack rush attack so expect about the same number of points this week.
Russell Wilson
#9 Ranked QB
It was a tough win against the Bucs but Russell Wilson and the Seahawks pulled it out. Russell was sacked a ton and threw 2 INTs, but he also threw for 217 yards and 2TDs scoring you 21 fantasy points. That was the 7th highest QB score of the week and he has now moved his way into the 9th highest scoring QB for the season. With Aaron Rodgers injured, this bumps Wilson up into the starting QB realm. Congrats.
Seattle DEF
#2 Ranked DEF
So the Seattle DEF really let you down last week, but they are still one of the best DEFs in the league and they play against the Falcons who haven’t exactly been an offensive powerhouse this year.
Gut Calls
We don’t really have any gut calls. You know who you are playing and you know who you are benching. Pretty basic with this team at the moment.
Bench Warmers
Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse
#42 Ranked WR and #58 Ranked WR
Don’t look at Doug Baldwin’s numbers last week and think it will happen again this week. He might have a decent week, as the Falcons have a pretty poor secondary, but he only averages 5.9 fantasy points per game and the two weeks prior to last week’s game he only scored 1 point. Same goes for Kearse. Last week was great, but he only averages 3.2 points per game. You have better options.
