Seattle rebounds against Arizona
The Seattle Seahawks improved to 5-4 with a 17-3 win over the Arizona Cardinals at Lumen Field in Week 9. Seattle has held opponents to three points in each of its past two victories, with a 34-17 loss to Chicago between them. The Seahawks have scored 202 points and allowed 162 through nine games. That plus-40 differential gives Seattle a stronger scoring margin than its narrow edge above .500 might suggest.
Recent results alternate
Seattle has split its past four games, alternating losses and wins. A 17-14 defeat at Denver in Week 6 preceded a 20-3 victory over Kansas City. The Seahawks then lost to Chicago before responding against Arizona. The contrast is sharp: Seattle allowed six total points in those two wins and 51 in the two losses. The Arizona result restored momentum, but the Seahawks have yet to string together consecutive victories during that four-game stretch.
Smith-Njigba leads the fantasy picture
Jaxon Smith-Njigba remains Seattle’s clear season-long fantasy leader with 232.1 PPR points. Sam Darnold follows with 88.3, ahead of Emanuel Wilson at 74.8, Jason Myers at 74.0 and AJ Barner at 62.8. Barner led Seattle’s Week 9 fantasy performers with 15.0 PPR points. Drew Lock posted 12.6, Smith-Njigba added 12.1, Jadarian Price scored 11.8 and Zach Charbonnet finished with 9.6. Smith-Njigba’s season total stands well apart from the rest of the group, while Barner supplied the strongest weekly return against Arizona.
Next stop: Las Vegas
Seattle visits the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium in Week 10. Kickoff is scheduled for Nov. 15 at 4:05 p.m. ET. The Seahawks will look to turn their rebound against Arizona into consecutive wins after a four-game run in which each victory followed a loss.
