QB Notes: Geno Smith is in the midst of by far his worst stretch as Seahawks quarterback. Here’s hoping a badly-fading Cardinals defense has the antidote. Arizona is one of just four teams allowing over eight yards per attempt. The health of Smith’s wideouts is something to monitor. … Brock Purdy finally had a bad start, but we don’t have the luxury of looking away in Minnesota. With six teams on bye, Purdy and his stable of weapons remain firmly in the top 10 against a Vikings defense surrendering the ninth most QB fantasy points. Purdy’s arm will also be in greater demand for coach Kyle Shanahan if Christian McCaffrey (oblique) sits, as is looking likely. … It doesn’t feel overly comfortable having Jared Goff in the top 12 against a Ravens defense permitting the second fewest passing yards and QB fantasy points, but the feeling changes a bit once you scan Baltimore’s early schedule. The opposing quarterback slate has been C.J. Stroud’s first NFL start, a one-legged Joe Burrow, Gardner Minshew, “Dorian Thompson-Robinson,” Kenny Pickett and Ryan Tannehill/Malik Willis. This well-oiled Lions machine has earned some benefit of the doubt.
Kirk Cousins predictably rang hollow in his first start without Justin Jefferson. The 49ers will offer no quarter on Sunday. … Jordan Love is one of this week’s streamers du jour because of his A+ matchup with the Broncos’ astoundingly bad defense. The question is: Is Love as good of a matchup for the Broncos as the Broncos are for him? Love has been stunningly inaccurate, and his flukily-high early season touchdown rate has predictably not held. The Broncos have also shown signs of stabilization, including doing a decent enough job of containing Patrick Mahomes in Week 6. I wouldn’t be betting the farm on a multi-score Love outing. … Don’t look now, but Desmond Ridder is averaging 37 attempts over his past five starts, and 42 over his past two. The Bucs are tougher on the ground than through the air. Road underdog Atlanta could be once again forced to take to the skies. … Deshaun Watson (shoulder) suddenly appears poised to start for the Browns. His fitness level is one of the NFL’s current great mysteries. If he actually decides to play football, Watson does have a soft landing spot in the Colts’ defense.
