STACKED’s take
Seattle's run defense limits McCaffrey's rushing upside; air game remains viable.
McCaffrey's ground-based production doesn't figure to improve against Seattle. The Seahawks' run defense allows the sixth-fewest yards per carry (3.6) and hasn't allowed a single running back to hit 15 fantasy points. McCaffrey has historically struggled on the ground against Seattle, averaging under 3.2 yards per carry across the past three meetings. However, the Seahawks have been generous to running backs through the air, allowing the fourth-most receptions (23) to the position. McCaffrey racked up 20 catches on 23 targets over three prior matchups against Seattle. With Kyle Juszczyk sidelined, McCaffrey could see a bump in target volume, though his lower rushing ceiling means fantasy managers might want to temper expectations.
