This is a big matchup because the Chargers are looking for their first win of the season, while the Seahawks are looking to bounce back from a disappointing Week 3 loss. Sam Darnold will want to have a bounce back after turning the ball over multiple times last weekend.
Now, let’s head over to Yahoo! Sports and see what the Seahawks’ offensive playmakers are expected to do from a fantasy football perspective in Week 4.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
Projected Fantasy Points: 18.32
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the best receiver in football. The star has at least one touchdown and 100 yards in each game so far this season. Smith-Njigba has had 30+ fantasy points in each of the last two games.
The star receiver is definitely not matchup-dependent and should be started every week. The Chargers aren’t bad against receivers, but Smith-Njigba is clearly the team’s top option and will be fed the ball.

Sam Darnold
Projected Fantasy Points: 16.94
Sam Darnold made his return in Week 3, and it was a mixed bag. The quarterback threw two interceptions, but he also threw for 379 yards and four touchdowns. Darnold had just under 30 points from that performance.
In Week 4, Darnold has a solid matchup. The Chargers have given up the 11th most fantasy points to quarterbacks, so Darnold has potential for a big day. The quarterback is a solid start option this weekend.
Emanuel Wilson
Projected Fantasy Points: 8.50
Emanuel Wilson is in line for a much bigger role going forward. Jadarian Price was added to injured reserve, so the Seahawks are likely looking at giving Wilson significant carries this weekend.
The Chargers have been average against running backs, so it’s not exactly a great matchup for Wilson. He should have significant volume, but he hasn’t been that impressive with the chances he’s gotten this year. Until we have more clarity about this run game, it’s probably best to avoid starting Wilson.
