Seattle Seahawks DFS Spin
Geno Smith completed 23-of-28 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns in the Seahawks’ 17-16, Week 1 win over the Broncos Monday night. Smith was on an absolute heater out of the gates in this one, facing the quarterback whose job he was given when Russell Wilson was traded in the offseason. Smith completed his first 13 passes of the night and found TEs Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson for 38- and 25-yard touchdowns. He was just 6-of-10 for 31 yards after halftime, as the Broncos really beat themselves rather than Smith doing the work, but he at least mostly took care of the football, losing just one fumble on a strip-sack. Smith isn’t on the fantasy radar for Week 2 at San Francisco.
San Francisco 49ers DFS Spin
Trey Lance completed 13-of-28 passes for 164 yards in the 49ers’ 19-10, Week 1 loss to the Bears, adding 13 carries for an additional 54 yards. Trying to keep it together in a water-logged Solider Field, Lance was the Niners’ leading rusher after Elijah Mitchell departed with a second quarter knee injury. Lance was called on in a few important-and-short running situations, but it was Deebo Samuel who got the ground score, the Niners’ only touchdown of the game. As a passer, Lance looked better than he did during his limited 2021 action, though he overthrew what was likely a sure Tyler Kroft touchdown in the first half. Lance lost what little remained of his accuracy late when already-poor conditions devolved into an outright monsoon. It was frankly difficult to have any serious takeaways about Lance’s passing considering the weather. Week 2 should be a different story when the Niners host Seattle in Santa Clara. Especially with Mitchell seeming likely to be sidelined, Lance’s rushing upside will keep him locked in as a low-end QB1 while he works on his throwing.
