Drew Lock

Walker was targeted three times but only brought in one of them for a one-yard loss. He continued to operate as the team's top back this week, but a massive lead in the second half allowed Mike Macdonald to give his starters some rest down the stretch. Walker gave up two carries to Zach Charbonnet and four to Velus Jones on the Seahawks' final drive. Drew Lock had taken over for Sam Darnold, marking this drive as a true garbage time scenario. Walker is the clear lead back for Seattle, but there are several ways for him to let fantasy managers down, given how much work he cedes to Charbonnet. With game script likely working in his favor next week, Walker will cling to an RB2 ranking versus the Colts in Week 15.

Charbonnet operated as the clear RB2 for Seattle in this game, with most of his touches coming in or near garbage time. He picked up two carries and one reception on Sam Darnold's final drive of the game. Then, when the team brought in Drew Lock for clean-up duties, Charbonnet opened the drive with a pair of carries. He then gave way to Velus Jones. The Seahawks should be able to establish their ground game versus the Colts, who will be without Daniel Jones, next week. That will keep Charbonnet in the RB4 mix as a touchdown-or-bust fantasy bet.

Darnold got off to a disastrous start in the first quarter. His first drive ended after three plays via a sack. His third drive ended in just as many plays with an interception. Throwing on the run, Darnold targeted a thoroughly covered Elijah Arroyo. The pass was easily deflected and fell into the hands of Mike Hughes. Tied 6-6 coming out of halftime, things were looking astonishingly bleak. Rashid Shaheed then gave the team a shot in the arm with a kick-return touchdown and the Seahawks were off to the races. Darnold would go on to score three touchdowns and a field goal on his next four drives. Atlanta did not stop Darnold from scoring once during the second half. Seattle's final drive ended with a punt, but Drew Lock had taken over by that time. After a rocky start, Darnold exorcised some demons against the Atlanta secondary in the second half. He will remain on the QB1/2 border for his date with the Colts next week.
