Fantasy Football Player Notes

Zach Charbonnet took the lead in the running game with Kenneth Walker out, earning 19 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown. DeeJay Dallas had a single carry for 6 yards (2 targets). Charbonnet also contributed in the passing game with a 39-yard reception (2 targets) falling just short of a second TD on a 61% snap share. The RBs split usage running routes. However should be noted Charbs left the game late with an injury. That explains the lower snap rate from the rookie, who was close to the 80% range the last 2 games.

The schedule doesn't get much better for Seattle RBs. The Seahawks take on SF (again), Philly, Tennessee and Pittsburgh to close out the season. More shootouts and favorable passing matchups are on deck for this Seahawks unit.

Rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba led Seattle in targets with 11 (29% target share), converting them into 7 receptions for 62 yards. He also had a TD catch that was overturned. Saw considerable playing time with 46 snaps (67%). Also ran a route on 74% of the dropbacks.

The first-round rookie WR is starting to break out before our eyes. He is making plays left and right and seems like he is finally back from that preseason injury that stunted his production to open the year.

The 11 targets are an impressive number. But when you count plays nullified by penalties, Smith-Njigba actually saw a whopping 14 targets on Thursday night.

And JSN has now posted 40-plus receiving yards in 7 of his last 8 games since the bye week.
