Seahawks vs Lions prediction, picks and fantasy outlook feat. Kenneth Walker III
Kenneth Walker III's 3-0 Seattle Seahawks will face the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football in one of the most anticipated matchups of Week 4. Jared Goff has a history of playing against the Seahawks when he was with the Los Angeles Rams, which adds another angle to the important matchup.
The winner of the game will get a tie-breaker that helps determine seeding between the NFC heavyweights, making it a must-win on both sides. Here's a look at both teams as well as the fantasy implications of the game.
Seahawks vs Lions prediction
The Seattle Seahawks come into the game expecting to see Walker III play for the first time since Week 1. Already rolling, the Seahawks face the Lions in Detroit at nearly full strength on offense. However, they are battling some injuries on defense with eight players questionable or out for the game.
The Lions will have home-field advantage in the contest and appear mostly healthy, with most injuries already well-known in advance. The biggest piece out of the picture is center Frank Ragnow, which could be a problem for Jared Goff.
Despite this, the Lions are expected to win as the Seahawks come into the game with a perfect record, but all three wins come against teams at .500 or below. This will be the biggest test yet for the Seahawks and between the rookie coach, defensive injuries, and Goff's comfort in facing the Seahawks jerseys, the Lions are expected to win.
Seahawks vs Lions fantasy picks
The Seahawks' best fantasy workhorses are likely to be Geno Smith, Kenneth Walker III, DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Ngiba. However, Zach Charbonnet owners might still get some decent production out of the backup running back as the Seahawks attempt to ease in Walker III.
David Montgomery, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, and Jahmyr Gibbs are the best options for the Lions. Tim Patrick and Jameson Williams could also see plenty of work if the Seahawks blanket Amon-Ra St. Brown enough to open things up for them.
