Christian Kirk
Kirk seemingly has a good matchup versus a very porous Seattle defense. Obviously the Seahawks are going to shade coverage towards DeAndre Hopkins, meaning another Cards receiver should have a big game. Whether or not that’s Kirk is to be seen. He’s probably a FLEX starter tonight, but starting a FLEX on Thursday is never a good idea. If you’re light at WR, I would feel confident starting Kirk.
Chase Edmonds
By now we know that Edmonds is going to get a decent amount of burn in the backfield, along side Kenyan Drake. Again, if you’re light at RB I wouldn’t have a problem starting Edmonds. He’s probably going to get 10–12 touches on Thursday night.

Last Minute Pick-Ups ✅
Carlos Hyde
Dee Jay Dallas
With Chris Carson likely out on Thursday night, either Hyde or Dallas will be the main beneficiary. Dallas has been productive enough in his starts, but my hunch is this is a Hyde game. I would lean towards him.
David Moore
This is all about Tyler Lockett, who is banged up. It looks like Lockett is going to play, but if he doesn’t or if reports come out that he will be on a limited snap count, Moore could have a pretty sizable target share.
Props 🎲
- Chase Edmonds over 2.5 receptions
- Chase Edmonds over 21.5 receiving yards
- Greg Olsen under under 23.5 receiving yards
- Jacob Hollister over 8.5 receiving yards
- 1st TD: Hollister, Wilson, Edmonds, Fitzgerald
Gambling Angle 💰
This is an absolute must win for the Seahawks coming off two straight losses and three of their last four. Situationally, this is a good spot for Seattle, coming off of those losses and the Cardinals coming off the highest of highs in the form of the hail mary against Buffalo.
What is concerning for Seattle is that the Cardinals have absolutely dominated Russell Wilson in Seattle — something no other team can really say. Wilson has had his worst game of the year vs. Cardinals in Seattle in three of his last five seasons, per QBR.
Still, I think this is probably a get right spot for Seattle and I think they’ll play a slow-ish game for them. I like the first half under 28 points and the Seahawks ML, but I will also be playing the -3.
Official pick: Seahawks -3
