What the Cowboys did week 6 in Seattle was more than beat the Seahawks at home, they deflated the magic balloon that surrounded them. THEY ARE BEATABLE. Take that in, accept it and realize the defense you drafted maybe in the 6th, 7th, 8th round is not what you thought you were getting. The Seahawks as a defensive/special teams unit has scored a total of 17 points.

Week 1 - 8

Week 2 - -3

Week 3 - 5

Week 4 - Bye

Week 5 - 2

Week 6 - 9

Week 7 - -4

17 whopping points. That breaks down to less then 3 points per week from the once legion of boom. 

There are 18 defenses available on my waiver wire. Two of them, one of which was on bye week 7 leaving only one team that scored less points then the Seattle Seahawks in week 7. Read that again if need be and soak it up. 18 teams available, 16 defenses scored more points than the Seahawks week 7. Any other position, any other defense and the answer is a swift drop. No questions asked, drop. Not the Seahawks though at least not for me. If I drop the Hawks, one of the 9 other teams in my league will pick up them up no doubt in my mind. If that's the case then I have to think trade. 

What's the value of the Seattle Seahawks defense? Anything? A little something? Do I need to package something in to get something back? How about Seattle defense and Jordan Mathews for Darren McFadden?

McFadden’s line is 1,12,5,7,bye,8,10.  A tad over 7 points a week average. 

Seattle let's call it 3 points a week for easy sake. Mathews 3,1,17,2,3,5 for an average of 5. 

Looks like Seattle + 3 and Mathews + 5 for McFadden +7 is a pretty fair deal. 

What if Seattle gets it together though? They play at SF week 13, at Philadelphia week 14, back home for SF week 15, at AriZona week 16 finishing with St. Louis at home. That's nasty. Listen to me know, put out a couple feelers on Seattle straight up for something or package with someone and get away from the Seahawks. Make a trade fast. 

Become a defensive streamer. Grab the Colts and actually score some points from your defense. Hope that the other owners in your league haven’t' read this ( I'm almost positive no one has) and make a move, NOW.

Jets Fighting Until The End

While The Patriots beat the Bengals and Bills in weeks previous, outscoring them 80-39, they struggled against the 1-6 Jets. Geno Smith played his best game of the season, throwing for 226 yards and one touchdown to zero picks. Chris Ivory picked up the slack too, recording his highest yards total this year while also scoring the team's first touchdown. The Jets came within a blocked field goal of winning the game, and a two-point conversion from going into overtime.

Could The Cardinals Be The Best In The West

The Seahawks and 49ers are a combined 7-6, while winning just one in the past two weeks, while the Rams, 2-4, have struggled to consistently hold up. The Cardinals are atop the division at 5-1, and have Carson Palmer back in the lineup. This is a very potent division, but the Cardinals are the only one with a reliability on both sides of the football.

Chargers Lost After Just Edging Out The Raiders Last Week

The Chargers have been strong all season, but there was some question after their 31-28 win against the 0-6 Raiders. The Chiefs were coming off of a disappointing loss in San Francisco, but they were as efficient as ever against the Chargers. Both Alex Smith and Jamaal Charles had nice days, while Philip Rivers, an MVP candidate, struggled to move the ball.

Bengals Shut Down, Falling Far

After winning by a combined 47 points in their first three games, but Bengals have gone 0-2-1. The Bengals were beat down the Patriots in Week 5, while struggling against the Panthers last week, but they were not able to do anything against the Colts. Andy Dalton averaged just 3.3 yards per attempt, while his offense just converted one of 13 third downs. On defense, they struggled mightily, as the Colts were able to consistently move the ball and put up points.

Do The Jaguars Have Themselves A Team

The Browns were thought to be a playoff team after starting off 3-2 and losing by a combined five points, but they fell to the previously winless Jaguars 24-6. The Jaguars had yet to top 17 points, and allowed four teams to put up 30+ points. Brian Hoyer and Ben Tate, a 1-2 punch that worked extremely well last week, did not play well at all. Hoyer completed just 39% of his passes and threw an interception, while Tate averaged just 2.25 yards a carry. Denard Robinson, who had just 160 rushing yards off of 48 attempts prior to Sunday, had a career day against the Browns. Robinson nearly doubled his career total in rushing yards, while scoring his first touchdown in the NFL.

Do you play Fantasy Football? If the answer is yes, this week is the most exciting opportunity in the history of the game. Win a MILLION DOLLARS playing Fantasy Football this week only! Go to www.FFChamps.com/million and get in on the action.

Stacking players from one team is horrible fantasy football strategy when it comes to a full 16 week slate. Thankfully the $1 MILLION contest at DraftKings is daily fantasy football and all that matters is the Week 5 match ups. So if you see a team with a great match up then it's perfectly acceptable, and often times a great idea, to stack up on players from said team.

The team this week to use if you want to stack up players is the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks have a few factors in their favor for week 5 that makes them a sexy team to stack players from. First of all the Seahawks are coming off their bye week. An extra week to rest, heal, and prepare for the next battle at hand is often times key. Coach Pete Carroll is 2-2 coming off the bye in Seattle but both losses came by 3 points. He's going to have this team ready for their contest in Washington. Next, the aforementioned Redskins. The Redskins were exposed last Thursday by the New York Giants. A Giants team that is just beginning to click on offense while the Seahawks are already a strong offensive unit and seem to just keep getting strong. Don't forget about the opposite side of the ball, that Seattle D taking on Kirk Cousins who looked like a complete mess last week. Finally, we all know the Seahawks are completely dominant at home, and on the road they are just 10-8 (including playoffs) since Russell Wilson became their quarterback. However in those 8 losses the Seahawks never lost by more than a touchdown and had list those games by an average of 3.75 points. Wilson's yards both passing (3591 to 3535) and rushing (528 to 587) are nearly identical both home and away while he boasts a 2:1 touchdown to interception ratio on the road. 

Now onto the players! 

QUARTERBACK:

Player: Russell Wilson

Cost: $7,600 (9th among QBs)

Wilson is one of the best values you can have in your line up this week when you're on your way to $1 MILLION. He is taking on a Redskins team that allowed the Giants' Eli Manning to throw for 300 yards and 4 touchdowns while rushing for another. The Redskins are one of the worst at stopping opposing quarterbacks. They've allowed 9 passing touchdowns (3rd most in the league), and are giving up just under 21 points/game. Wilson is averaging 18 points/game while getting stronger as the weeks go by. He's increased his passing yards steadily weeks 1-3 while throwing 2 touchdowns each game against just 1 interception on the entire season. The only other time Wilson played the Redskins was in the playoffs in 2012 and he put up 18 points that day. Excellent value for an excellent quarterback.

RUNNING BACK:

Player: Marshawn Lynch

Cost: $7,200 (7th among RBs)

The Redskins do one thing well, and that's stop running backs. They have, however, given up a 100 yard rusher (Arian Foster), and let the Giants' Andre Williams and Rashad Jennings combine for 121 yards and the first touchdown scored on them all year. Marshawn Lynch is a different kind of beast ... Literally. If we went back and redrafted our leagues today Lynch would be a top 3 pick easily after being a mid to late round 1 pick when the season started. This is where daily fantasy football kicks ass. You missed out on Lynch in your standard league, then use him this week! Lynch puts up an average of 24 points/game. He's scored at least 1 touchdown in ever single game this year. In Lynch's 1 career match up with Washington he totaled 131 yard and a touchdown. While the Skins can stop running backs, they won't be able to stop Lynch they can only hope to contain him.

WIDE RECEIVER:

Player: Percy Harvin

Cost: $6,100 (10th among WRs)

Player: Doug Baldwin

Cost: $3,500 (30th among WRs)

The Redskins let quarterbacks put up a ton of points each week. That means someone has to catch those passes, and opposing wide receivers also put up a ton of points on the Redskins as well. They are giving up the 4th most receptions (57) and letting wide outs score 40 fantasy points/game on them. Now when it come to Seahawks receivers I'd only trust Percy Harvin or Doug Baldwin in a line up trying to win me $1 MILLION. Both Baldwin and Harvin are virtually identical in targets (16 to 17), receptions (10 to 15), and yards (105 to 106) and neither has scored a touchdown yet. That no touchdown nonsense has to come to an end and this will be the week for at least one of them but very well could for both. You're getting good value for Baldwin, but you're getting tremendous value with Harvin. He is the team's top wide out and he also can run with the ball. He has 6 rushes for 86 yards and a touchdown already this season so don't be surprised to see some end arounds with Harvin. He's their best playmaker and they need to put the ball in his hands any chance they can. Harvin has 3 career games vs the Redskins in which he averaged 82 yards and has scored 2 total touchdowns.

 
TIGHT END:

Player: Zach Miller

Cost: $3,000 (17th among TEs)

Don't touch Miller. He gets 2 targets per game, and at $3,000 he's the cheapest tight end. Travis Kelce is $3,000 too. He gets 6 targets per game. I shouldn't have to say anything else. Go elsewhere for a tight end.

DEFENSE:

Cost: $4,200 (2nd among defenses)

A lot of people tend to use a cheaper defense and that is a totally understandable strategy, however defenses can net you negative points and you can't afford to lose potential points when playing for $1 MILLION. While you may be spending a little extra on a defense by taking the Seahawks, they are well with it given the match up. Are the Redskins on of the worst teams at giving up points to opposing defenses? Check, 3rd worst to be exact. Did Kirk Cousins just get had by the Giants defense last week? Check. To the tune of 5 turnover and a pathetic 5 fantasy points. Is the Legion of Boom still the best secondary in the NFL? You bet your ass it is! They are 6th best in the league giving up just 66 total points this season while facing 3 of the best offenses in Green Bay, San Diego, and Denver. Washington is not on the same level as those three teams. The Seahawks also have forced 3 turnovers (1 per game), 5 sacks, and a safety.  Kirk Cousins has thrown at least 1 pick in the 2 games he's started too. 

Personally I would stack Wilson and Harvin on most of my line ups, and try to work Lynch into a few. But having 3 players who average 78 combined points/game going for you on Monday Night with $1 MILLION on the line will definitely get your heart rate up! Stack the Seahawks with confidence and good luck to all!

Doug Baldwin was signed by the Seattle Seahawks in 2011 as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Stanford. At 5\'10" 189 pounds Doug Baldwin is not the biggest of wide receivers in the NFL, But Baldwin could find himself in a big role for the Seahawks in 2014.

Last season, Baldwin was the second leading receiver on the Hawks, Golden Tate was the teams leading receiver, but he is in Detroit now and Sidney Rice has retired so Doug Baldwin will move from the slot position to the Number 2 wide receiver on the depth chart at the start of the season. Over the years Doug Baldwin has become a fiesty receiver with a great set of hands. Baldwin has displayed some toughness and has become the go to guy for Russell Wilson when they need that crucial catch.

In May, Baldwin signed a 2 year 13 million dollar extension and if Percy Harvin can stay healthy it should open things up for Baldwin and give him a chance to earn every penny of that 13 million dollar contract. Doug Baldwin has been given an opportunity to become a rock for the Seahawks and could possibly emerge as a leader among the wide receivers for Seattle. The Seahawks have given Baldwin the chance to really shine for them this season and Baldwin has gladly accepted. Doug Baldwin could end this season as the Seattle Seahawks leading receiver. Expect Doug Baldwin to have a breakout year for the Seahawks in 2014.
