Seattle's defense, a big reason for the team's success last season when the Seahawks won the Super Bowl, leads the NFL this year in allowing 233.9 yards per game... Williams' Footballguys projection calls for a QB9 finish with 18.9 points. I say he fails to hit that QB9 finish.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Williams faces elite Seattle defense; expected to miss QB9 projection.

Williams has thrown for 300+ yards in back-to-back games since returning from hamstring injury, including 308 yards and two TDs last week against New England. However, he faces Seattle's elite defense in primetime, which leads the NFL in fewest passing yards allowed (144.4 per game) and ranks fourth in fewest points allowed (17.9 per game). Seattle has allowed only one QB to score more than 9.8 fantasy points at home, holding Drake Maye and Patrick Mahomes II (6.0 points) well below 10. Only Marcus Mariota scored 20+ points against Seattle. Williams' Footballguys projection is QB9 with 18.9 points; the source predicts he will fail to hit that QB9 finish.
