In Week 7 in Seattle, the Seahawks host the 5-0 Kansas City Chiefs as a preview sets out three key matchup predictions involving Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.
The Story
The Seattle Seahawks will host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7 after Seattle lost in overtime to the Denver Broncos the previous week, according to the preview.
The Chiefs enter the matchup 5-0 and are fifth in points while sitting second in defensive scoring.
The preview’s first bold call is that Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba reaches 150 receiving yards. It notes that Kansas City has not allowed 100 yards to a pass-catcher through its first five games, with Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers the closest at 86 yards on six receptions, and that Josh Downs of the Indianapolis Colts led the way among others with 72 yards on seven catches. The preview also says Smith-Njigba has recorded at least 100 receiving yards in five of six games, and calls for him to top 150 yards for the second time this season.
A second bold prediction in the preview is that Seattle holds Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III to fewer than 100 rushing yards. It says Walker has topped 100 rushing yards four times in five games, with his lowest output coming in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins when he had 70 yards on 18 attempts. The preview adds that Seattle is 10th in the league in rush defense and has held opponents to fewer than 100 total rushing yards three times, setting up the prediction that Walker is limited to double digits.
The final bold prediction is that Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is available and scores two rushing touchdowns. The preview says Charbonnet could make his return after being moved to the active roster, and it links the team’s need to his return to a ground-game drop-off after Jadarian Price was injured. It then calls for Charbonnet to contribute in the red zone, predicting two touchdowns and tying the expectation to his production from 2025.
