Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (32) scores a touchdown against the Seahawks during the second quarter at Lumen Field Sunday, Sept. 19, 2021 in Seattle, Wash.Titans Seahawks 068 /

1. RB Chris Carson vs. the Minnesota Vikings

Chris Carson was my number one matchup of the week in Week 2, where he only ran for 31 yards but punched in two touchdowns. I expect another day of plentiful opportunity for Carson when the Seahawks take on the Vikings in Week 3.

Through two weeks, Carson is an obvious bell cow, with 29 carries for 122 yards and two touchdowns. He essentially has the backfield to himself as backfield mate Rashaad Penny is dealing with injury.

Carson has seemed to have become a matchup-proof running back both in real-life and fantasy football. I’m expecting another productive game from the entire Seahawks offense, which Carson will benefit heavily from. Carson is an RB1 in Week 3.
