Week #1: NFL Game Match-Up Analysis via Mastermind Moments (Preview)

Mastermind Moment:
Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is a QB2 fantasy start this week. Why? He didn't do much against the Patriots in the Super Bowl, so this game is unlikely to be a shootout due to the two quality defenses involved. RB Zach Charbonnet (knee - PUP) is OUT for 4+ games. Rookie RB Jadarian Price will start, but RB George Holani will be subbed in often, making him only a high-end RB3 at best. Holani should remain benched until he doers something to warrant a fantasy start. WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba returns as the clear WR1 for the Seahawks, making him a top 5 WR1 for fantasy against the Patriots at home. WR Rashid Shaheed is the new WR2 for the team, making him a risky flex option against a quality defense. I want to see how they use him...This is a Premium FF Mastermind Article.
