  • Seattle games are a league-high 1-9-1 (90%) towards the Under this season.
  • The Seahawks have run their fewest offensive plays through 11 games (54.1 per game) of a season since 1982 (53.5).
  • This is the first time Seattle has run fewer than 50 offensive plays in back-to-back games since 2008.
  • San Francisco has scored on 59.3% (16-of-27) drives over the past three weeks (fourth) after 39.5% (18th) prior.
  • The 49ers have scored a touchdown on 29.3% of their red zone plays, the highest rate in the league.
  • Elijah Mitchell ranks fourth among all running backs with 100 or more carries in rate of runs to gain 10 or more yards (16.1%).

Trust = spike production for that player

Quarterback

Russell Wilson: Wilson pulled out 19.5 fantasy points on Monday (QB9), but it was another rough go in a slog for the Seattle offense as Wilson needed a 96-yard drive and 32-yard touchdown pass on the final drive of the game to get there.

Since returning to action, Wilson ranks 34th among 39 qualifying quarterbacks in success rate (39.0%), 37th in expected completion rate (62.4%), and 34th in EPA per play (-0.152). 

A matchup with Washington helped out on Monday as well. San Francisco has been a lot better defensively, allowing 13.6 passing points per game (sixth), 6.9 yards per attempt (ninth), and 10.4 yards per completion (eighth). When these teams met in Week 4, Wilson was just 16-of-23 passing for 149 yards but managed to throw two touchdowns while rushing for 26 yards and another touchdown. 

I would love to believe that Seattle cannot keep running their offense at such a play disadvantage, but we are 11 games in and there have been no signs of recovery, leaving Wilson as a better option in 2QB formats.
