Seattle’s big-play offense outgunned Arizona 23-20 as the Seahawks piled up 384 yards with 317 coming on 18 plays of 10+ yards. Seattle stitched together two lengthy drives, including a 90-yard march highlighted by three explosive plays, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba and company exploited a thinning Cardinals secondary. Arizona’s defense, thin at corner, yielded chunk gains and two scoring drives, while the offense failed to generate a telltale fourth-quarter takeaway or a decisive late-score surge.

For fantasy managers, Smith-Njigba’s second-half surge and Walker III’s workload on the decisive drives stand out, as does Darnold’s efficiency in the late drive. Arizona’s pass rush showed signs with Campbell and Sweat recording sacks, but the unit again missed opportunities for takeaways. Special teams had its moments, but a late field-goal miss and a conservative burn-the-clock approach kept this one in Seattle’s favor.

Mac Jones steps in for the 49ers as Purdy is sidelined with a toe issue, and Shanahan confirms Purdy is unlikely to start. Jones flashed efficiency in a Saints win, tossing 3 touchdowns and 279 yards, showing he can run SF’s quick, short-to-intermediate attack. With Bartch out and Colby stepping in at left guard, SF will lean on a compact passing game while Arizona pressures Jones to avoid mistakes.

The Cardinals carry a real pass rush concern, and Jones will need clean pockets to maximize his timing-based approach. SF’s receivers are banged up, with Jennings nursing an ankle and Watkins ruled out, while Martinez could be summoned from the practice squad if Purdy can’t go. This matchup is a crucial fantasy pivot for teams rostering SF skill players.
