New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks DFS Start´Em, Sit´Em | September 8, 2024

In this article, we´ll take a look at which players to start, sit, and monitor for this upcoming game.

Noah Fant TE, Seattle Seahawks (DraftKings: $3.8, Fan Duel: $4.8)

Noah Fant has been a versatile and dynamic presence in the Seahawks’ offense. Fant is the TE1 and will look to become a mismatch for the Patriots defense, which will be vulnerable to pass-catching TEs. Fant´s ability to contribute in both blocking and receiving games makes him a strong start, especially in PPR leagues.

Ja´Lynn Polk WR, New England Patriots (DraftKings: $3.8K, Fan Duel: $4.7K)

Ja´Lynn Polk is emerging as a reliable target in the Patriots’ passing game. With Jacoby Brissett continuing to develop and build chemistry with his receivers, Polk can be a fresh option. Against a Seahawks defense that had a great defensive performance last week, the Patriots could turn to Polk for offensive performance.

Rhamondre Stevenson RB, New England Patriots (DraftKings: $6.2K, Fan Duel: $6.9K)

Even though Rhamondre Stevenson had an amazing week 1 showing, it doesn´t seem likely that the Patriots RB can continue with such production. His role can be inconsistent, particularly when sharing touches with other backs. Against the Seahawks, who have a solid front seven, Stevenson may struggle to find running lanes.

Tyler Lockett WR, Seattle Seahawks (DraftKings: $5.3K, Fan Duel: $6K)

Tyler Lockett’s fantasy value can be unpredictable. Even though his performance in Week 1 was the best among Seahawks WRs, one can imagine more production will be going to D.K. Metcalf and Smith-Njigba. With the Patriots likely to focus on containing Lockett and limiting big plays, he might struggle to get open and make an impact.

Geno Smith QB, Seattle Seahawks (DraftKings: $5.5K, Fan Duel: $7.3K)

Geno Smith has been consistent these past few seasons and will have the chance to exact his revenge on the Patriot’s defense for all those games he suffered as a Jet. Smith can take advantage of both passing and rushing situations to make an impact. His ability to distribute the ball effectively and capitalize on favorable matchups makes him a strong start for Week 2.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Seattle Seahawks (DraftKings: $4.9K, Fan Duel: $5.4K)

Jaxon Smith-Njigba had an underwhelming week 1 performance and is dealing with a lot of competition in the Seahawks’ offense. With Lockett and Metcalf emerging as a reliable target and a solid Pats secondary, he could have a tough day.
