Seattle Seahawks DFS Spin
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Drew Lock could play “at least three quarters” in Friday’s preseason finale against the Cowboys. 11-of-15 for 102 yards and two touchdowns in the Seahawks’ preseason opener against the Steelers, Lock missed exhibition contest No. 2 with the coronavirus. Yet to put much pressure on Geno Smith in the Seahawks’ sorry quarterback competition, this will probably be Lock’s last chance to change the coaching staff’s mind. It’s mostly immaterial for fantasy purposes, as neither Smith nor Lock are going to be an elevator for their supporting cast. Neither quarterback seems to have any untapped upside remaining.
Dallas Cowboys DFS Spin
Cowboys LT Tyron Smith will undergo surgery on his injured left knee Friday. “Dallas is proceeding on the assumption that Smith will be able to return late in the season,” Moore reports. Smith’s operation is to “re-attach the hamstring to the knee.” Considering the severity of the issue and Smith’s recent injury history, we wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up missing the entire year. All eyes are now on toolsy-but-raw first-rounder Tyler Smith. He is a high-upside but disastrously-low downside option in (Tyron) Smith’s place. How he fares could determine the fate of the Cowboys’ season. Dak Prescott has a number of concerning variables heading into his 2022 campaign.

Seahawks vs. Cowboys Prediction:
If the preseason is any indication, life without Russell Wilson is going to be a rough transition for Seattle. The Seahawks dropped their preseason opener 32-25 to the Steelers in Pittsburgh, then looked lifeless in their second game – a 27-11 home loss to the Bears as a 3.5-point favorite. And now we’re supposed to lay 7 points tonight with the Seahawks? Why, because Lock figures to play most of the game and is a former starter with the Broncos? No thanks. Give me Dallas.
