Now let's eat.

Caleb Williams gets a favorable matchup against a Seattle defense that generates plenty of pressure and allows opposing quarterbacks to use their legs.

• Seattle allows 4.3 rushing attempts per game to QBs, 5th-most in the NFL
• Williams has recorded 5+ carries in 3 of 4 games, averaging 6 per game
• Seattle generates pressure on 35.2% of dropbacks, 4th-highest, while Williams scrambles on 14.1% of pressured dropbacks, 8th-highest among QBs

Seattle's aggressive pass rush should create additional scrambling opportunities for Williams, who has already shown consistent rushing involvement. OddsJam's +EV tool is highlighting value on his rushing attempts projection, and the matchup supports another game with at least five carries.

D'Andre Swift gets an excellent matchup against a Seattle defense that allows plenty of receiving production to running backs.

• Seattle allows 5.4 receptions per game to RBs, 6th-most in the NFL, while Swift has caught 4 passes in each of his last 3 games
• Seattle allows 28.6% of all receptions to RBs, 2nd-highest in the league, while Swift has caught 22 of 25 targets this season
• Seattle plays zone coverage on 82% of snaps, the most in the NFL, while Williams leads all QBs with a 20.2% checkdown rate

Swift's reliable hands and consistent receiving volume make him a natural fit against Seattle's zone-heavy defense. With Williams frequently checking the ball down, Swift has another strong opportunity to reach three catches.

Rome Odunze faces one of the toughest receiving matchups in football against a Seattle defense that's been excellent at limiting wide receivers.

• Seattle allows just 8.9 receptions per game to WRs, 2nd-fewest in the NFL
• Odunze has stayed below 4 receptions in 5 of 7 games this season
• Seattle allows a 19.7% perimeter target rate, 7th-lowest in the NFL, while 89% of Odunze's targets come from the perimeter

Seattle also holds opposing wide receivers to a 56.4% catch rate, 3rd-lowest in the league. Odunze's recent struggles to reach four catches, combined with Seattle's ability to limit perimeter targets, make this a difficult spot for him to clear the number.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba gets an excellent matchup against a Chicago defense that's struggled to contain outside receivers, and his dominant production makes him a strong candidate for another big game.

• Chicago allows 11.3 yards per target to outside WRs, the most in the NFL, while 83% of JSN's targets come from the perimeter
• Chicago allows 8.7 yards per pass attempt, the most in the NFL, while JSN averages 4.00 yards per route run, 4th-highest among WRs
• Chicago blitzes on 43.2% of snaps, 4th-most, while JSN commands 44.4% of Darnold's first-read targets, the highest among WRs

Smith-Njigba has cleared 100 receiving yards in 6 of 7 games, averaging 123 yards per game. OddsJam's Sharp Money tool is also picking up action on his receiving yardage projection, adding another angle to a matchup that already favors his elite target volume.

Sam Darnold faces an aggressive Chicago pass rush, and his recent turnover struggles make this a difficult matchup for the Seattle quarterback.

• Chicago generates pressure on 49.4% of its blitzes, 5th-highest in the NFL, even before adding Jeffery Simmons
• Darnold has completed just 39.4% of his passes under pressure, throwing 4 interceptions
• Darnold has thrown an interception in 5 straight games, with his 8 total picks tied for the NFL lead

Chicago's ability to create pressure could force Darnold into more difficult throws, especially given his struggles when the pocket collapses. His five-game interception streak and Chicago's aggressive defense support another turnover opportunity.
