Quarterback
Lamar Jackson: I did not have Jackson posting his worst game of the season on Sunday against the Cardinals.
Even outside of the running game soaking up three of the team touchdowns, Jackson had season-lows in passing yards (157), yards per pass attempt (5.8 Y/A), and rushing yards (17) on Sunday.
It has just been that kind of year for fantasy. Even our best options at the position such as Tua and Patrick Mahomes have provided multiple floor moments. Jackson has been the QB20 or lower three times over the opening eight games, but he has another five top-10 scoring weeks with three weeks as a top-three scorer.
Jackson is a fantasy QB1 week in and out regardless of matchup, but he will face a tougher task this weekend.
Seattle has climbed up to seventh in the league in passing points allowed per attempt (0.348), ranking 13th in yards allowed per pass attempt (6.8 Y/A) and third in touchdown rate (3.0%) allowed.
This will also be a test for that Seattle defense, which is in a similar spot as the Detroit defense was before they went into Baltimore.
I do believe that this Seattle pass defense is lively with Devon Witherspoon and Riq Woolen healthy, and this team just added Leonard Williams to help rush the passer.
But Seattle is also coming off a run of facing Andy Dalton, Daniel Jones, Josh Dobbs, and P.J. Walker surrounding Joe Burrow over their past five games.
Seattle is 26th in rushing yards allowed per game (23.1) to quarterbacks to offer another avenue for Jackson to score fantasy points.
