Speaking Friday, Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said he’s a “true believer in you want to roll with the hot hand” when discussing the running back situation betweenJavonte Williams and Melvin Gordon. “One guy gets going, you want to be sure to keep feeding that person,” Hackett continued. “But I think they’re going to be great compliments to each other.” Reports have been all over the place when it comes to how the Broncos want to handle the backfield. OC Justin Outten said both Williams and Gordon will be on a “pitch count” all season, while some believe Williams will have a 65-35 split advantage and others think it’s much closer to 55-45. We’ll find out Monday night. Both backs will be playable in a dream matchup against the Seahawks.
Seattle Seahawks DFS Spin
Geno Smith completed 10-of-15 passes for 101 yards and rushed twice for nine yards and one touchdown in the Seahawks’ preseason opener Saturday. Smith got the start and played the entire first half before giving way to Drew Lock for the second half. Smith led a field-goal drive and then rushed for a two-yard score. He played pretty flawlessly, even if he didn’t wow, and was hurt by some drops. Lock was 11-of-15 through the air for 102 yards and a pair of scores against Pittsburgh’s deeper reserves. Neither quarterback particularly distanced himself from the other, and Smith is still viewed as the favorite to start Week 1. Both quarterbacks are going to play this year.

Broncos vs. Seahawks Prediction:
The Broncos covered in five of their previous six games played in September, are 4-1-2 against the spread in their last seven games played in Week 1 and figure to receive a major boost tonight when Wilson faces his former team. As much as it’s tempting to back the home dog on national television, the Seahawks’ roster is devoid of talent top to bottom. We’re about to get confirmation how much Wilson covered up the Seahawks’ weaknesses over the last few years.
