LINEUP STRATEGY:
STEVE:
I think this game will be a bit closer, but once again the Giants are in some serious trouble without their star running back. Seattle is very stingy on the ground as it is, so I don’t see Breida and Brightwell having much success. Daniel Jones might be able to break a couple of scrambles, but mainly I think he only gets there through the air, against a weak Seahawks secondary.
Darius Slayton is my favorite Giants player, but I do like Darren Waller as a play as well this week. Both should see plenty of targets and can get chunk yards. Paris Campbell Jr. is okay as a cheaper option, and Graham Gano is always in consideration, but that is the extent of my Giants’ exposure.
On the Seahawks side, I’m pretty much all in on Kenneth Walker this week, as he will be my highest-owned captain and total-owned player. I do want to have a line-up or two with both Seahawks RBs since that could be a bit more unique and the Giants have struggled versus the run this season. I think Geno Smith, D.K. Metcalf, and Tyler Lockett are all solid plays, but none are clear locks. What is going to be interesting is how the TEs are used for Seattle. Both Fant and Dissly are Questionable, leaving an $800 Colby Parkinson as a viable option. Even if all 3 TEs play, it can be worth taking a shot on Parkinson given his price.
