Chicago Bears

Matt Forte (Running Back): Forte had 20 carries for 74 yards as the Bears got absolutely slaughtered. Forte did not come down with any of his targets in his week 3 game and it was clear the Seahawks defense was back to business with the return of Kam Chancellor. With Alshon Jeffery out of the lineup the defense keyed in on Forte which resulted in his least productive game of the season.

Jimmy Clausen (Quarterback): Cutler's backup got absolutely slaughtered in his week 3 matchup. Clausen's only offensive weapon was Matt Forte and the Seahawks knew it. All game the Seahawks kept Forte at bay and kept Clausen quiet. Clausen went 9 for 17 for 63 yards, without any help offensively this Bears team will continue to suffer.

Seattle Seahawks

Marshawn Lynch (Running Back): Lynch only ran for 5 carries and 14 yards after being pulled from the game thanks to a hamstring injury. Lynch's previous injury coming into this week kept his availability questionable until kickoff and he only came onto the field after the first quarter had already began. Lynch has been banged up since the beginning of the season and this new injury should not be too big of a concern going forward however his durability entering the twilight of his career might become a question.

Jimmy Graham (Tight End): There was talk all week of Graham's role in the Seattle offense and a rift in chemistry between him and quarterback Russell Wilson, that was all debunked in Sunday's week 3 blowout. Graham caught 7 of his 8 targets for 83 yards and a touchdown making this the best game the tight end has had in recent memory. Graham should be a primary target of Wilson's going forward.

Thomas Rawls (Running Back): Rawls is the primary backup for Marshawn Lynch and had a huge day as Lynch left the game with an interesting. Rawls had 16 carries for 104 yards and is a must add in deeper leagues and officially should be picked up by all Lynch owners.

Russell Wilson (Quarterback:): Wilson went 20 of 30 from the field for 235 yards and a touchdown and only gained 28 yards rushing. Wilson is likely the most dependable fantasy player for the Seahawks this season. With Jimmy Graham still establishing himself in this Seattle offensive attack and Jermaine Kearse and the rest of the Seahawks wide receivers trading productive days Wilson is the only person who should benefit consistently from a fantasy stand point.
