I sounded several alarms -- all the alarms I have -- last week about Seattle's secondary wrecking opposing slot guys. Through two weeks the Hawks have given up a meager 68 yards on slot targets, the fourth highest total in the league. QBs are averaging a truly unreal 0.1 fantasy points per drop back when throwing to slot receivers against Seattle.

Diggs faces Seattle's elite slot coverage; Noel seeks alternatives in Week 3.

Diggs faces a tough Week 3 matchup against Seattle's elite slot coverage. He has run from the slot at a team-high 66 percent rate. Seattle has given up only 68 yards on slot targets through two weeks (fourth highest total in the league) and QBs are averaging just 0.1 fantasy points per drop back when throwing to slot receivers against the Hawks. Washington's likely decrease in pass volume and Marcus Mariota's propensity to throw downfield compound the matchup concerns. Jaylin Noel is looking for reasons to play someone else in Week 3, though acknowledges you may not be in a position to bench Diggs.
