Seattle Seahawks DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has found a lot of recent success. He has scored double-digit fantasy points in three of his last four games. Myers has not missed a field goal since Week 5, which has allowed him to avoid incurring negative points. The Seahawks will face a solid defense in the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. The Packers could make it difficult for the Seahawks to get into scoring positions, but the Seahawks defense has succeeded in giving them a lot of short fields lately. The offensive efficiency has been solid since the team's Week 10 bye so Myers should at least be in a position to kick field goals. With his accuracy and big leg, Myers has an excellent chance to reach 10 fantasy points in Week 15. 10 points from your kicker is a significant boost during the fantasy playoffs. As such, if you need potential upside, Myers is a solid kicker streamer this week.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet could deliver another top 10 week with starter Kenneth Walker III (calf) doubtful this week. Charbonnet has now seen extended duty due to Walker's injuries on three occasions this season. He has averaged 27.3 PPR fantasy points in those games. His most recent big performance came in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals. The most encouraging part about that game was that Charbonnet was efficient as a runner and heavily involved as a receiver. His prior games in relief of Walker were buoyed by excellent pass-catching and touchdowns despite poor rushing efficiency. If Walker can keep up the efficiency in Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers, then the sky is the limit. Green Bay is No. 21 against opposing running backs in fantasy. Charbonnet is all but guaranteed an excellent passing game role so he has a chance to do a lot of damage on the ground as well. Charbonnet could be exactly what your fantasy team needs to get through the first-round of the playoffs.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba will play the No. 9 defense against opposing wide receivers when the Seahawks host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. Smith-Njigba has delivered as a high-end WR2 to low-end WR1 of late. He currently sits as the WR6 in fantasy with four games to go. Smith-Njigba is being anchored by target volume. He is consistently leading or coming in second on the team in targets each week. He has squarely taken over wide receiver Tyler Lockett's role in the offense. He has even been more productive than DK Metcalf (shoulder) over the last few weeks. With Seattle providing a balanced offensive attack, the passing game has become far more efficient. Although Smith-Njigba is not scoring many touchdowns, he should earn plenty of receptions and yards in this game. Keep him confidently in your lineup.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling's recent run of fantasy relevance appears to be over. Over the Saints' three games from Week 10 to Week 13 (bye Week 12), he compiled 232 receiving yards and four touchdowns on just seven receptions. The party came to an end in Week 14, though. Not only was MVS held out of the end zone, but his quarterback, Derek Carr (concussion, hand), left the game due to injury and will cede the Week 15 start against the Commanders to Jake Haener. Haener has appeared in seven games this season, going a combined 14-for-29 for 177 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. With Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) still on IR and Bub Means (ankle) declared out, Valdes-Scantling is still the de facto WR1 for the Saints. However, with the inexperienced Haener under center, MVS should be kept out of lineups for the first round of the fantasy playoffs.

According to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. Walker was unable to suit up last weekend and has been unable to return to practice this week. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the weekend but should plan on finding an alternative option as the Michigan State product is facing an uphill battle to suit up. Last weekend, Zach Charbonnet was given the starting nod and performed exceptionally well, tallying 134 yards and two scores on 22 attempts. He added 59 yards on seven receptions through the air. If Walker cannot suit up, fantasy managers should view Charbonnet as a consensus top-12 option facing a Green Bay defense that has allowed the 12th-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season.
