NFL Week 1 Recap: Immediate fantasy football takeaways from Patriots-Seahawks
PFF • • general
Key Points:
- Mack Hollins led the Patriots in wide receiver snaps after A.J. Brown’s ankle injury, out-snapping free-agent Romeo Doubs in the first half despite a low target rate.
- Seahawks rookie Jadarian Price took on Kenneth Walker’s early-down role, showing explosiveness but limited fantasy production due to a split backfield and quarterback health concerns.
- Rashid Shaheed’s playing time increased significantly compared to last season, potentially enhancing his fantasy value as he competes with Cooper Kupp and Tory Horton for snaps.
- A.J. Brown left the game with an ankle injury, which could lead to increased roles for Romeo Doubs and Hunter Henry in the Patriots’ offense if Brown’s absence continues.
- The Patriots relied heavily on Rhamondre Stevenson in the backfield due to TreVeyon Henderson’s ankle injury, with Stevenson maintaining a consistent presence on third downs despite a modest statistical performance.
