Fantasy football projections, Week 3: Broncos vs. Seahawks featuring Peyton Manning, Julius Thomas, Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch

We break down the Week 2 fantasy matchup between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks.

Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports

The Week 3 matchup between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks presents a high-profile rematch of last years' Super Bowl teams. We've got all of the fantasy projections for you, courtesy of NumberFire.

Denver Broncos

Quarterback Peyton Manning and the rest of the Broncos offense should once again have their hands full against a stout Seattle defense. Running back Montee Ball has gotten off to a slower fantasy start than owners would like and it would be surprising to see him breakout this week. Manning should still be started as a QB1 but owners shouldn't be surprised to see him post some lower numbers this week. Seattle presents one of the toughest defensive matchups the Broncos will see all year.

The same goes for wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, who figures to see a healthy dose of shutdown cornerback Richard Sherman. Emmanuel Sanders remains a quality start as a borderline WR1/WR2 play. Tight end Julius Thomas has already caught four touchdowns in the first two weeks of the season and remains fantasy's No. 2 overall tight end.

Seattle Seahawks

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is entrenched as a mid-range QB1 and his season average of 196.5 yards passing and two touchdowns is a reasonable expectation for production. Seattle is one of the league's most run-heavy offense and Marshawn Lynch owners should expect to see him back in his usual feature-back role. Last week's ten touches could easily go down as his lowest workload throughout the season.

Wide receiver Percy Harvin has already proven his value as a versatile weapon and is Seattle's most explosive receiving threat. While he only received three touches last week, he manage to turn those into 50 total yards which included an electrifying 51-yard touchdown run. Look for Harvin to be featured as the focal point of Seattle's passing attack this week.
