New York Giants
Rookie wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. seems to be the only one clicking on offense for the Giants right now. The team got blown out by the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9, but Beckham's fantasy owners may not have cared. He caught 8 of 11 targets for a career-high 156 receiving yards in the game. Beckham couldn't work his way into the end zone, but that was more a result of inconsistency on behalf of quarterback Eli Manning than it was a result of anything on Beckham's part. The future is bright for the young rookie and fantasy owners should have this guy in the lineup on Sunday.
With Rashad Jennings (knee) listed as doubtful for the game against the Seahawks, the only other Giants offensive player worth having in fantasy lineups is their other top wide receiver, Rueben Randle. Randle still has time to keep up with Beckham and maintain his spot as the team’s number one receiver for the second half of the season, but that window is definitely getting smaller as the weeks go by. Though that may be the case, Randle has still been targeted at least nine times in each of the last five weeks, making him a good fantasy play in deep leagues purely based on volume of looks.
Seattle Seahawks
The defending Super Bowl champions haven't been playing like they are that in the last few weeks and as much as Russell Wilson is one of the league's most versatile quarterbacks, the truth is he has no one to throw to now that Percy Harvin is with the New York Jets. Wilson was held without a touchdown pass for just the second time this season last week against the Oakland Raiders. The performance also marked the third time this year he was held under 200 passing yards. Normally those low numbers would be offset by his rushing totals, but Wilson only managed 31 yards on the ground last week. He will without a doubt need to be better if the Seahawks plan to keep winning games in the second half of the season.
If he does struggle to scramble for yardage when he's forced to move his feet for positive gains, running back Marshawn Lynch will be counted on alongside him to keep the ball moving. Lynch had gone four straight games without finding the end zone on the ground, but last week he managed to score twice against Oakland. He's only rushed for 100 or more yards once this season and that's unlikely to change this week, but outside of Wilson is the most consistent player the team has on the offensive side of the football.
