Seattle Seahawks DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has been volatile all season. However, he is a possible fantasy play with six teams on bye in Week 14. Myers' issue this season is that he has not kicked a lot of field goals. He has hit 85% of his attempts but he only has 20 attempts on the season. The Cardinals and Seahawks were locked in a defensive slugfest the last time they met in Week 12. That could bode well for Myers if Seattle's drives stall in the red zone. Myers had a solid outing in Week 13 against the New York Jets in the swirling winds of MetLife Stadium. He will likely welcome the climate-controlled environment in Arizona's stadium. If you need a kicker to start this week, then Myers has a decent floor.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba looks like he may be the Seahawks' best fantasy option at wide receiver once again in Week 14. Smith-Njigba has been on a tear lately that has him sitting at WR9 on the season. He has not recorded less than 69 receiving yards since Week 7, and he has already matched his rookie season touchdown total of four. If Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith could increase his touchdown output, Smith-Njigba would be unstoppable in fantasy. The Seahawks will travel to Arizona to play the Cardinals in Week 14. The Cardinals are No. 17 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. While they are not a pushover defense, they should not scare anyone. The last time these teams met, Seattle only scored 16 points. However, Smith-Njigba caught six passes for 77 yards and a touchdown. He should be able to match that output in Week 14.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle, calf) was downgraded to a non-participant in Thursday's practice after being limited the day before. Not only is a mid-week downgrade bad news for Walker, but these are both new injuries for him this year after previous battling through an oblique ailment earlier in 2024. Fantasy managers that have the 24-year-old rostered should be looking to add Zach Charbonnet if he's available on the waiver wire just in case Walker cannot get the green light to play against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals in the desert in Week 14. In the two game that Charbonnet started in Weeks 2 and 3 with Walker unavailable, he had 32 carries for 129 yards and three touchdowns as Seattle's lead back. The volume increase alone would make Charbonnet at least an RB2 in fantasy if Walker is out this weekend.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle, calf) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice with multiple injuries. It could help explain why backup Zach Charbonnet played 45% of the offensive snaps in the Week 13 win over the New York Jets, his highest snap share since Week 8. Walker was in on 61% of the offensive snaps and handled 16 carries for only 49 rushing yards while catching two passes for a loss of three yards. It was the second straight game Walker had under 50 rushing yards, and now he's dealing with two injury concerns heading into a Week 14 divisional clash in the desert against the Arizona Cardinals. The 24-year-old is a must-start RB when healthy as Seattle's lead back, though, as he's averaging 19.3 touches per game and has six TDs in 10 games. Fantasy managers in need of a RB this week might want to check on Charbonnet's availability, though.

The New York Giants are planning to give quarterback Drew Lock a second straight start this Sunday in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints, according to head coach Brian Daboll. Tommy DeVito (forearm) will be limited in practice on Wednesday. Lock got the start over the injured DeVito in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys last Thursday and didn't impress at all in his first start for the G-Men, going 21-for-32 for 178 yards, no touchdowns, an interception (pick-six) and a fumble. However, he did carry the ball four times for 57 yards and a rushing TD to save his fantasy stat line. The 28-year-old might just be keeping the seat warm under center until DeVito gets past his right-forearm injury. Against the Saints defense this weekend, Lock will be nothing more than a low-end QB2 for fantasy managers in superflex leagues.
