Bo Nix

NegativeProjection4:14

Bo Nix is considered fantasy-irrelevant due to consistently poor play and a lack of athleticism following an ankle injury, which has severely limited his rushing upside and overall effectiveness. His poor performance renders the entire Denver Broncos offense effectively unusable for fantasy purposes.

Insight page

Emanuel Wilson

NegativeUsage1:44

Emanuel Wilson is not a startable fantasy option in the Seattle backfield; despite recording 14 carries, he is part of a committee that includes George Holani stealing goal-line work and rushing touchdowns. Fantasy managers are advised to avoid starting him.

Insight page

George Holani

NegativeUsage1:57

George Holani is involved in the Seattle backfield rotation and successfully stole a rushing touchdown from Emanuel Wilson, but he remains part of a committee that makes him and his teammates unstartable for fantasy purposes.

Insight page

J.K. Dobbins

NegativeUsage6:48

JK Dobbins is a touchdown-or-bust running back who lacks the explosive juice of his earlier career and is rarely involved in the passing game, making him unexciting for fantasy.

Insight page

Jaxon Smith-Njigba

PositiveBreakout3:19

Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the only startable pass catcher in Seattle. He is viewed as a high-end fantasy asset with fewer injury concerns than Puka Nacua.

Insight page

Jaylen Waddle

NegativeUsage4:54

Jaylen Waddle leads the team with a 25% target share, but his fantasy viability is severely capped by the poor performance of quarterback Bo Nix. He is only considered a potential flex option in favorable matchups.

Insight page

RJ Harvey

NegativeUsage6:45

RJ Harvey is a difficult player to trust for fantasy as he is pigeonholed into a satellite/pass-catching role in Denver, with his ceiling further capped by the impending return of Jonah Coleman.

Insight page

Zach Charbonnet

PositiveRole2:15

Zach Charbonnet is the only Seattle running back with future fantasy relevance. He is expected to return around week seven and is projected to eventually work into a starting role after an initial committee period.

0:00Yeah, this game was horrific. It was
0:03very boring from a fantasy football
0:06perspective. And there were a few
0:08takeaways that we have with both
0:10offenses. Starting off with Seattle, my
0:13expectations were, yeah, you're going to
0:14get a ton of Darnold passing volume
0:16because they have no running backs. And
0:18Darnold threw the ball 51 times. Now,
0:20obviously inflated due to overtime, but
0:22Darnold looked terrific. Like Darnold
0:25was bad from the very jump. Whether you
0:28want to blame, it doesn't matter who you
0:30blame. The fact of the matter was Sam
0:32Darnold's
0:35horribly inefficient. 51 passing
0:37attempts, zero touchdowns, multiple
0:39interceptions, only 278 passing yards
0:41off this type of passing volume.
0:45I don't want to overreact too much
0:46because Denver does have a good defense,
0:48but keep in mind a couple of their best
0:50defenders, including Patrick Certain,
0:52was out of this game as well. Now, don't
0:54need to talk too too much about Darnold,
0:56though, because frankly, you're never
0:58starting Darnold in fantasy. The only
1:00thing that's relevant with Darnold is if
1:02he can support the weapons. The running
1:04backs, Emanuel Wilson does have 14
1:07carries, but Vis Jones was getting
1:10involved at the beginning of the game.
1:12This was like a wide receiver that I'm
1:13pretty sure was drafted by the Bears in
1:15the second round,
1:17and George Alani got involved late, and
1:19George Alani stole the rushing touchdown
1:21from Emanuel Wilson. Now, after seeing
1:25George Alani still be involved after the
1:27fumbles last week, I think it's pretty
1:30safe to say that no running back is
1:33startable here in Seattle until we get
1:35Zack Charmin back in week seven. Now, it
1:37does seem like there's a good chance
1:40that Charbs will be back for the
1:42Seahawks next week. And I probably would
1:45expect it to be a running back by
1:47committee for the first few weeks and
1:49then Charbanet over the course of a
1:50month will probably eventually work into
1:52being a starting running back here. But
1:54you can't start a single Seattle Seahawk
1:56running back at this point.
1:59Going over to the pass catchers while
2:02JSN goes nuclear. It was pretty scary
2:05where he didn't really do anything at
2:06the beginning of the game. But obviously
2:08JSN, he was my wide receiver one in
2:11fantasy football coming into this. He's
2:13still my wide receiver one in fantasy
2:15football afterwards. I mean, in my
2:18weekly rankings, Puka is probably going
2:19to be ahead of a lot of the time, but
2:21JSN, you don't have the same injury
2:22concerns that you do with Puka.
2:25Now,
2:27uh I don't really want to talk about
2:28Cooper Cup Shahed too much. Like Shahed
2:32had some really bad moments. Obviously
2:34had the two-point conversion. He had a
2:36big 42 yard reception as well. Cooper
2:38Cup was getting peppered with targets,
2:40especially early. The only guy you can
2:42start in Seattle until further notice is
2:45JSN and Charbanet probably in like a
2:47month, but I'd expect Sharps to be back
2:50this week or next week and turn this
2:51into a committee. Now, going over to the
2:54Denver side, Bo Nicks looked horrific.
2:58Horrific. Like unbelievably bad.
3:0327 pass attempts,
3:06107 passing yards.
3:10Now, yes, it was a tough matchup going
3:13up against Seattle, but this is the
3:15continued trend of Bo Knicks looking
3:18horrible last week, the week before.
3:20Like, Bo Knicks has not looked good at
3:23any point this season. I actually made
3:26like a YouTube short, Tik Tok, Instagram
3:28reel, whatever the hell you want to talk
3:29about. um I'm sorry, call it talking
3:32down on Bo Knicks saying that he hasn't
3:35been the same quarterback because he
3:36doesn't have the mobility, doesn't have
3:38the speed since the ankle injury and he
3:40was only averaging seven rushing yards
3:42per game coming into this. He has two
3:44rushing yards in this game. Like they
3:46were at some points they were calling
3:47like designed runs for Bo Nicks and he
3:50looked like he was running in mud. He he
3:52has no athleticism left. So obviously Bo
3:56Nick's very similar to Darnold. You're
3:57never starting him. The only thing
4:00that's relevant is can he support the
4:03weapons,
4:05the running back split, it continues to
4:07be RJ Harvey as the pass catcher, JK
4:09Dobbins on first and second down. Both
4:12running backs score a touchdown in this
4:13game, but frankly, I still think neither
4:17running back's exciting.
4:19Like Dobbins typically is not getting
4:21involved as a receiver. He's a touchdown
4:23or bus running back that at this point
4:25of his NFL career doesn't have the
4:26juice. And RJ Harvey is uh really tough
4:31player to trust starting because again
4:33with Dobbins healthy, Harvey's just the
4:35satellite back and Jonah Coleman's about
4:37to come back to this backfield soon as
4:40well which will lead to
4:43like the ceiling being capped for Harvey
4:46where even if Dobbins were to go down
4:48with an injury, he's still just going to
4:49be pigeonhold into being the third down
4:51running back here in Denver. So the
4:53running backs you can't start. Going
4:54over to the receivers, Wadd does have
4:57seven targets, which leads the team out
4:59of 27 or 24 potential targets. So, I
5:03mean, it's a solid 25% team target
5:05share. But it doesn't matter if Bo
5:08Knicks is this bad.
5:11Like at this point it looks like there
5:13is not a single Denver Bronco that's
5:15startable outside of maybe Jaylen Wadd
5:18if he plays in a really good matchup
5:20which obviously
5:24this wasn't a good matchup against the
5:26Seattle Seahawks but these offenses look
5:29atrocious.
5:30Again I understand the offenses
5:34were going up against tough defenses. I
5:36want to give less of a break for Seattle
5:39though in that because you did have a
5:41ton of key defensive injuries here at
5:44the same time
5:47for this Denver Broncos secondary. So,
5:49you would think that Seattle could have
5:52been more effective at moving the ball
5:53down the field and Darnold would have
5:55looked better, but it just didn't
5:56happen. But, um, I think that's it for
6:00the overall game recap. I I know it's a
6:03brief one, but what the hell is there to
6:06talk about? You're not starting a tight
6:07end either of these offenses
6:11and they're pretty much just unusable
6:12all around. It was a disgusting game
6:14between two disgusting offenses at this
6:16point. It's the JSN show in Seattle and
6:18maybe Wadd is flexible um in better
6:21matchups. But y'all know on Thursday
6:24nights after the game, we get to go and
6:27open up a couple Arena Club packs. Help
6:30me get some more cards on my wall. I
6:32actually did get two cards in the mail
6:34today, which I was very excited to add
6:35to the wall. But anyway, let's go ahead
6:38and let's pull this up. If you don't
6:40know what Arena Club is, these are slab
6:43packs
6:45where you can go ahead open. You
6:47actually see the list of cards that are
6:50available here for it. Like there are
6:52the Grail cards like the Tom Brady,
6:53Panini, Prism, Color Blast. We also have
6:57um the Chase cards. And then you have
6:58the lineup and you can see the exact
7:00probability of pulling anything. For me,
7:03I typically just resell anything
7:05immediately that is a player that I did
7:10not watch in fantasy growing up um or
7:14anybody on the defensive side. But for
7:17me, I mean, I have probably over a
7:19hundred cards at this point. I
7:21absolutely love it and I primarily or
7:25really exclusively
7:27only have cards in my collection of
7:28players that I watch personally and are
7:32also on the offensive side of the ball
7:33and fantasy relevant at one point. Let
7:36me go ahead and get this first pack
7:39here. This is going to be an emerald
7:41pack and let's hopefully get something
7:44good. I know we have kabooms available
7:47with this which would be incredible.
7:50We get a J Mo. This is actually perfect.
7:52This is a rookie patch auto out of 25.
7:55This may be the best card that we've
7:57pulled out of an Emerald pack.
8:00I am freaking pumped about that. There
8:02is a 0% chance that I'm selling that one
8:05probably because again, um I have J Mo
8:08on my own fantasy team. That would be
8:10incredible. I actually have another
8:11Jameson Williams downtown card, but it's
8:14definitely not a rookie auto. Um,
8:18I'm surprised that
8:21we got that. I'm surprised it's also
8:23only
8:26like $350 something dollars, but let me
8:31go ahead and see if we can get a another
8:33one here,
8:37please. Another offensive player,
8:39preferably on my fantasy team.
8:42We get a Caleb. I have so many Caleb.
8:45This is a rookie, Caleb. I don't know
8:48what the pop is on this. We're going to
8:50decide on what to do with that later. I
8:54have like five or six Caleb Williams
8:56rookie cards already that I really do
8:58like. But let's open up our last one
9:02here. This is going to be the massive
9:05one. Um, this is not the emerald. I
9:10believe this is going to be the diamond.
9:14But we get to open up one of these every
9:16Thursday. And I'm gonna be honest, I've
9:18been going to um see what's available
9:22pretty much every day at this point. And
9:25the rookie ticket, Josh Allen, would be
9:28clearly the best thing we could possibly
9:30get. But let me see. Let me I have to do
9:34this off the screen because I have to
9:35put in my address for the card, which is
9:37a little annoying, but it is what it is.
9:41Okay, perfect.
9:43We are in and let's see what we get.
9:51Okay, there's
9:54Drake May downtown. I do not have a
9:56Drake May downtown and I love the
9:58downtowns. I am for sure going to be
10:01keeping this May again. Um I also have
10:05Drake May on my fantasy team so that's
10:06literally perfect. But I'll leave the
10:08link to Arena Club in the description
10:11comment section if you wanted to check
10:13out any packs. Code flock gets you 20%
10:15off your first one. But much love,
10:17ladies and gentlemen. Really appreciate
10:19you. Hopefully you did not start any of
10:22the Seattle running backs like Emanuel
10:24Wilson. And I'll see you out in
10:25tomorrow's
