Fantasy Football Insights: Top Picks for Seattle vs. Atlanta

<h3>2024 NFL Week 7 Preview: Seattle Seahawks vs. Atlanta Falcons &#8211; High-Scoring Showdown</h3>
In Week 7, the Seahawks head to Atlanta to face the Falcons in a matchup that promises plenty of offensive firepower. Both teams are finding their stride, with key players on both sides coming into form, and this could be one of the more intriguing games of the week for fantasy football managers and bettors alike. Let’s break down the key players and betting insights for this game.
<h4>Seattle Seahawks: Is Geno Smith a Must-Start?</h4>
The Seahawks offense, led by Smith, has been quietly consistent this season. Coming into a matchup against an Atlanta defense that’s middle-of-the-pack,  Smith is gaining a lot of attention as a fantasy football must-start this week. Many managers are looking at Smith as a reliable option, especially with DK Metcalf and Kenneth Walker III healthy and producing.
In DFS, Smith is a solid value play with a favorable matchup. Atlanta’s secondary has been prone to giving up big plays, and Smith has the weapons to exploit that. Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba provide additional receiving options, and the Seahawks’ balanced offense should give Geno plenty of opportunities to rack up points. Smith is also a good target for player props bettors, with his passing yards total and touchdown passes being two attractive markets this week.
<h4>Kenneth Walker III: Reliable Fantasy Play</h4>
If you’re setting your fantasy lineups, you’re absolutely starting Walker III. Walker has been a workhorse for Seattle, and while Atlanta’s run defense has been respectable, Walker’s usage near the goal line makes him a high-upside fantasy play. With the Falcons likely to struggle to contain all of Seattle’s weapons, Walker should see enough volume to make a significant impact.
<h4>Atlanta Falcons: Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier</h4>
On the other side, Robinson continues to shine as one of the NFL’s most dynamic young running backs. Robinson is a must-start in all formats, and in a game that could turn into a shootout, he’s likely to be heavily involved both in the run game and as a pass-catcher. Robinson’s ability to break big plays makes him a threat to score on any given touch.
Allgeier is an interesting flex option this week. Despite Robinson’s presence, the Falcons have shown a willingness to give Allgeier a decent number of carries, especially near the goal line. He may not have the explosive potential of Robinson, but if you’re looking for a low-cost DFS option or need a flex play in season-long leagues, Allgeier is worth considering.
<h4>Drake London: Target Magnet</h4>
Another key player for the Falcons is wide receiver London. London has been the focal point of Atlanta’s passing game, seeing a significant share of targets each week. With the Seahawks&#8217; secondary not as formidable as in past seasons, London should be in line for another high-volume day. He’s a strong WR2 in season-long formats and an intriguing DFS play, especially in PPR formats where his target volume boosts his floor.
<h4>Betting Insight: Points Will Be Scored</h4>
This game has the potential to be high-scoring, as both teams have the offensive firepower to exploit each other’s defensive weaknesses. Seattle’s passing game, led by Smith, should thrive against Atlanta’s defense, while the Falcons’ offense, anchored by Robinson, will keep them competitive. Betting on the over for total points is a solid play here.
If you’re looking at individual team totals, both Seattle and Atlanta are capable of scoring 25-plus points. Seattle’s offense should have no problem moving the ball, especially through the air, and Atlanta’s offense will rely heavily on Robinson and London to keep up.
<h4>Betting Takeaway: Lean Seattle, but Watch the Line</h4>
While both teams are relatively evenly matched, Seattle has a slight edge due to their more balanced offense and the experience of Smith at quarterback. If Seattle is favored by a small margin, they’re worth betting on to cover the spread. However, if the line moves significantly, a bet on the over for total points may be the safer play in what should be a competitive and high-scoring affair.
<hr />
In summary, the Week 7 matchup between the Seahawks and Falcons is one that promises plenty of action. Expect both teams to move the ball effectively, with Geno Smith and Bijan Robinson serving as the key players to watch. From a fantasy and betting perspective, this game is filled with intriguing options, and the over on total points looks like the strongest bet for this exciting matchup.
