Jason Myers - Drills overtime winner Myers connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win versus the Patriots.

Impact Myers hit field goals from 38 and 44 yards during regulation and nailed a 31-yarder in overtime to secure the team's win. The veteran kicker is perfect through two weeks, connecting on eight total field goals and four extra points. He'll look to stay on track in Week 3 versus the Dolphins.

Tyler Lockett - Just two targets in win Lockett totaled 15 yards on two receptions (two targets) in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win versus the Patriots.

Impact Lockett was seemingly left out of the gameplan while DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba combined for 246 yards on 30 targets. There's no doubt Lockett still has a role in this offense, especially considering how he paced the team with 77 receiving yards in the opener. However, Smith-Njigba's emergence in Week 2 has Lockett trending towards the No. 3 wideout role.

Zach Charbonnet - Notches second TD Charbonnet rushed 14 times for 38 yards and a touchdown and caught all five targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win versus the Patriots.

Impact Charbonnet started with Kenneth Walker (oblique) inactive, and he took advantage of the opportunity by scoring his second touchdown of the season while also featuring as a pass-catcher. His inefficiency was concerning, especially after turning eight carries into 12 yards last week, but his volume remains intriguing for fantasy purposes. It's unclear if Walker will be ready for a Week 3 clash against the Dolphins. Charbonnet figures to carry a heavy burden again if Walker's unable to go.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba - First 100-yard game Smith-Njigba recorded 12 receptions on 16 targets for 117 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Patriots.

Impact The Seahawks showed more aggression through the air than in Week 1 and targets condensed around Smith-Njigba and DK Metcalf. Metcalf stole the headlines with a 56-yard touchdown catch, but Smith-Njigba emerged as Geno Smith's favorite target in all areas of the field throughout the day. As a result, he was able to tally receptions of 24, 19, 16 and 14 yards to record the first 100-yard game of his career. The Seahawks' offensive strategy is likely to vary from week to week, but Smith-Njigba has gained the trust of Smith and will be a key part of the team's passing attack.

DK Metcalf - Long TD against Patriots Metcalf recorded 10 receptions on 14 targets for 129 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Patriots.

Impact The Seahawks got aggressive through the air in Sunday's win, and targets were heavily concentrated between Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Metcalf made his mark on the game early on, striking for a deep 56-yard touchdown late in the first quarter. He had several chunk gains from there to turn in his first 100-yard effort of the season, a mark he managed to top only three times across 15 games in 2023.

Pats play well, but fall short in 23-20 OT loss to Seahawks

Coach Jerod Mayo and quarterback Jacoby Brissett believe the New England Patriots were only a few plays away from a 2-0 start to the season not many expected from them

Geno Smith - Big performance against Pats Smith completed 33 of 44 passes for 327 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over New England. He added five rushes for eight yards.

Impact Smith saw some additional volume thanks to overtime, but he was asked to take to the air more than in Week 1. He responded with a strong performance, highlighted by a 56-yard touchdown to DK Metcalf late in the first quarter while also showing strong rapport with Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The downside to his performance was that he found the end zone only once, but it was an encouraging performance heading into a Week 3 matchup against Miami.

Impact Fant sustained a knee injury in Week 1 against the Broncos. He was a DNP in all three practices this week, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 3 against the Dolphins on Sept. 22. With Michael Jerrell (coach's decision) also inactive for Sunday's game, Stone Forsythe will likely step in as the starting right tackle.
