The Athletic's Dianna Russini hears that, "there is a strong belief in the building that the Commanders have found their franchise quarterback in Sam Howell, and now it’s about building for 2024." Howell has taken too many sacks this season but has completed 67% of his passes at a decent 7.0 yards per attempt. He's certainly not a finished product, but it sounds like Howell has shown enough to at least be Washington's starter in 2024. He's a solid hold in dynasty leagues.
Seahawks WRs D.K. Metcalf (hip) and Tyler Lockett (hamstring) are off the final Week 9 injury report. Both guys were full participants in Friday’s practice and should be ready for their usual roles in this weekend’s game vs. the Ravens.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (hip) did not practice on Thursday. That follows a full practice on Wednesday. It's unclear if Metcalf just got the day or suffered a setback. Check back tomorrow to see how Metcalf is listed on the final injury report for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens.
Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. It's an upgrade over last week, when he didn't practice at all on Thursday. Lockett should be ready for his usual role in this weekend's game vs. the Ravens.
Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He didn't practice last Wednesday or Thursday before returning to a full practice on Friday and then posting an 8-81-1 line in the win over the Browns. Lockett should be fine for this weekend's game against Baltimore.
The Giants are trading DL Leonard Williams to the Seahawks for a second-round pick in 2024 and a fifth-rounder in 2025. Williams certainly helps a Seattle D-line that recently lost Uchenna Nwosu for the season. There's probably not much fantasy impact here, though. Williams sits outside the top 80 D-linemen in fantasy points so far and ranks 19th among interior D-linemen in Pro Football Focus pass-rushing grade.
Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett caught 8 of 11 targets for a team-leading 81 yards and a TD in Week 8’s victory over the Browns. His teammate D.K. Metcalf was not nearly as efficient on his looks, logging just 5 catches on 14 targets for 67 yards. Rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba, however, made good use of his opportunities by catching 3 passes for 36 yards and a score in the contest. This trio of WRs combined for 75% of the Seahawks’ targets. It’s pretty clear who QB Geno Smith will look for in Week 9 vs. the Ravens.
Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III received 8 carries for 66 rushing yards in Week 8’s win vs. the Browns. His teammate Zach Charbonnet siphoned off a decent amount of work and performed well in the contest, totaling 53 rushing yards on 5 carries with 2 catches for 11 yards as a receiver. Unfortunately for both plays, WR Jake Bobo sniped a rushing TD on a 3-yard run on Sunday. Next week, Walker III will have an opportunity to bounce back against the Ravens.
Seahawks QB Geno Smith completed 23 of 37 passes for 254 yards with 2 TDs and 2 INTs in Week 8’s win vs. the Browns. Even had it not been for the pair of turnovers, Smith’s fantasy relevance wouldn’t have been on a week-winning level. He now sits as the QB23 on the season and Week 9’s matchup vs. the Ravens won’t be an easy task for Smith, either. The veteran is nothing more than a superflex starter until further notice.
Browns QB P.J. Walker completed 15 of 31 passes for 248 yards with 1 TD and 2 INTs in Week 8’s loss vs. the Seahawks. The backup also added 27 rushing yards on the ground in the contest. Despite his issues with turnovers, Walker was able to crack double-digit fantasy points. It remains to be seen whether or not he or QB Deshaun Watson will be under center in Week 9 vs. the Cardinals.
Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice and should be ready to play his usual role today.

HC Pete Carroll confirmed on Friday that Lockett will play vs. Cleveland. The hamstring issue adds a bit of risk, but we’re expecting Lockett in a full-time role on Sunday.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker (calf) is not listed on the final Week 8 injury report. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice after sitting out the previous two days. It looks like Seattle was just giving Walker some mid-week rest after his 28-touch outing vs. the Cardinals. Walker will be ready to go for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns. RB Zach Charbonnet (hamstring) will also return for that one after putting in a full week of practice. The rookie figures to mix in for a handful of touches behind Walker.
Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (hamstring) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He played through this injury last week, but Lockett's availability for Sunday's game vs. the Browns can't be taken for granted. Check back tomorrow for another update.

Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That should have the rookie trending toward returning for this weekend's game vs. the Browns. Charbonnet should take a few touches off RB Ken Walker's plate but would be a desperation fantasy play.
