After bringing in eight catches and finding the end zone twice in Week 2, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett had a dud of a game in Week 3. The 31-year-old caught just three of his seven targets for 34 yards in Seattle's win over the Carolina Panthers. Perhaps the final line was the result of adjustments made to the game plan at halftime, as all but three of Geno Smith's pass attempts in the second half went to tight ends or running backs. While it didn't count as an official reception, Lockett fought off safety Jeremy Chinn to catch the pass that sealed Seattle's two-point conversion in the fourth quarter. Even after a down week, Lockett is worthy of WR3/FLEX consideration for Seattle's Week 4 game against the New York Giants.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf led the team with six catches and 112 receiving yards against the Carolina Panthers in Week 3. Metcalf's first four receptions came in the first half and all went for 19 yards or longer. After making two more catches on the Seahawks' opening drive of the third quarter, the fifth-year veteran was not thrown to again. In the second half, Seattle's offensive game plan leaned heavily on the run game and relied on the tight ends to make gains through the air. Metcalf's two catches, along with Jake Bobo's fourth-quarter touchdown, represented the only wide receiver targets after halftime, so maybe a change was made to the game plan during the break. Seattle takes on the New York Giants in Week 4, where Metcalf can be trusted to put up WR2 numbers as long as he can keep himself in the game.
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III had his second two-touchdown game in as many weeks in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Carolina Panthers. In the Week 3 matchup, Walker carried the ball 18 times for 97 yards and added 59 more yards through the air on his three catches, leading the team with 166 scrimmage yards. The 22-year-old displayed incredible elusiveness on multiple plays to add extra yards on the ground and in the air. On one play in the second quarter, Walker froze defensive back Troy Hill with a juke that resulted in a 36-yard gain that set Jason Myers up for the third of his five field goals. Next week the Seahawks play against the Giants, who have allowed a rushing touchdown to each starting running back they have faced so far in 2023. Walker is primed for another big game in Week 4.
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith came up four yards shy of his second 300-yard game in as many weeks in Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. In Week 3, he went 23-for-36 for 296 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Smith made things work from behind a makeshift offensive line, though Carolina's defensive front kept the quarterback on his toes and registered two sacks. Next week, the Seahawks take on the New York Giants in a Monday night matchup. The Giants allowed Brock Purdy to throw for 310 yards and two touchdowns on Thursday night in Week 3. Look for Smith to keep building on his recent success in Week 4 and push his way into QB1 territory again.
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Tre Brown (head) left Sunday's meeting with the Carolina Panthers. He won't return. The 26-year-old, who led the team with one interception heading into Week 3, didn't appear on the box score before his premature departure due to a concussion. Fortunately, Seattle won't play until Monday in Week 4, so Brown might be back for that one. In the meantime, third-string corner Michael Jackson came in for relief.
