Seattle Seahawks DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle, calf) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Arizona Cardinals. However, the 24-year-old may not be out long, with ESPN's Adam Schefter reporting there's a chance he'll be back on the field for the Week 15 encounter against the Green Bay Packers. In the meantime, Zach Charbonnet, who found the end zone versus the Jets in Week 13, has the potential to have his best showing of the 2024-2025 campaign.

Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani was elevated from the team's practice squad ahead of their matchup against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news. With fellow running back Kenneth Walker (ankle, calf) deemed questionable after back-to-back DNPs to end the week, Seattle will elect to go with a bit of insurance in the 24-year-old rookie. The first-year back was a five-year runner at Boise State and was signed by Seattle as an undrafted free agent this past offseason. Holani has been up once before this year but has yet to log a snap in 2024. With Walker seemingly on the wrong end of his designation, backfield mate Zach Charbonnet projects to lead Seattle's ground attack if he can't suit up. Running back Kenny McIntosh hasn't logged a snap since Week 7, so Holani could be the one mixing in behind Charbonnet in their divisional clash.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle, calf) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Walker missed practice every day this week but was initially listed as questionable on Seattle's injury report on Friday. The 24-year-old came out of last Sunday's game with ankle and calf injuries. He played 60% of the snaps, rushing 16 times for 49 yards while catching two of three targets for minus-3 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets. Look for Zach Charbonnet to see an increased workload, with Kenny McIntosh backing him up while Walker is sidelined. Seattle also elevated running back George Holani from the practice squad earlier on Saturday. Charbonnet becomes a mid-range RB2 and should be started in all leagues with six teams on the bye.

When wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling scored his touchdown in Week 13, he joined Donte Stallworth as the only players in Saints history with four receiving touchdowns in their first four games with the franchise. Valdes-Scantling will look for a fifth come Sunday when New Orleans takes on the New York Giants. With Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) sidelined with injuries, MVS has emerged as the Saints' most productive wide receiver. However, with 237 yards and four touchdowns on just eight catches with the team, MVS is as boom-or-bust as they come. As unlikely as it may seem, another boom may be in the works against the Giants. While New York has seen the fewest deep targets (20-plus air yards) in the league, they are allowing the highest completion rate on those passes (20-for-29). MVS has an average depth of target of 22.8 as a Saint and should see a couple of deep shots in Week 14. With six teams on bye, he makes for a high-risk, high-reward flex play.

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock heads into Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints following a mixed performance in his Week 13 start against the Dallas Cowboys. Lock threw for 178 yards on 21 completions with no passing touchdowns, but his 57 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown salvaged a respectable 15.82 fantasy points. Facing a Saints defense ranked 29th against the pass (249.1 yards per game allowed), Lock has a favorable opportunity to rebound as a passer. However, the Saints' unit is still stingy against fantasy QBs, allowing just 15.06 FPPG (10th-best). While Lock's rushing upside boosts his floor, New York's shaky offensive line, which allowed six sacks last week, could limit his ceiling as a fantasy streaming option.
