Seattle @ Washington
Team Totals: Seahawks 25.5, Commanders 22.5
Even in traveling cross-country for this matchup, Sam Darnold ranks as a high-floor QB2 for Seattle’s 25.5-point team total, equivalent to Buffalo’s (in the matchup of the week) and Arizona’s (against the league’s worst defense). Commanders HC Dan Quinn has schemed 48% (fourth) of the team’s defensive snaps from man coverage, which Darnold has flamed for a 65% completion rate (fifth) and 9.0 yards per attempt (second). Jayden Daniels’ availability on the other side should push the Seahawks through the air. … There is no worse feeling in fantasy than being forced to start either Kenneth Walker III or Zach Charbonnet, understanding they’re in a neck-and-neck timeshare with Charbs having the higher ceiling for out-carrying KWIII 8-2 (for four TDs) inside the 5. If purely banking on Walker to spike a long score, there’s hope: Washington’s permitted 2.4 yards after contact per run (eighth) and, before facing Kansas City’s sluggish backs, ceded 6.1 yards per carry to both Dallas and Chicago.
