Who knew at the start of the season that the New York Giants/Seattle Seahawks game would be a playoff-altering game? The Giants and the Seahawks have overachieved as much as any teams in the league. The Giants continue to win games, despite the lack of weapons on the outside. Give a ton of credit to head coach Brian Daboll.
The Seattle Seahawks have a surprisingly prolific offense led by the resurgent QB Geno Smith. Rookie RB Kenneth Walker III has provided the balance the Seahawks were looking for in the NFL Draft. With DK Metcalf out in this one, what type of offense can we expect from Seattle?
Today we look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up.
Best quarterback picks
Cash Games and Tournament: Daniel Jones, QB, New York Giants (DraftKings $5.7K, FanDuel $7.5K)
With DK Metcalf out for this one, and a banged-up Tyler Lockett, the Seahawks' lack of firepower limits Geno Smith's ceiling. Daniel Jones has gotten it done all season with no weapons. What makes Daniel Jones' play is his ability to use his legs as a runner.

Best running back picks
Cash Games: Saquon Barkley, RB, New York Giants (DraftKings $8.1K, FanDuel $9.5K)
Saquon Barkley is the entire Giants' offense. Barkley can change the game with his ability as a runner and a receiver out of the backfield.
Tournament: Kenneth Walker III, RB, Seattle Seahawks (DraftKings $6.5K, FanDuel $8.4K)
Kenneth Walker III is a tremendously talented natural runner. Walker has been more explosive than advertised and can take the ball to the house on any given carry. Without their primary weapons on the outside, look for Seattle to lean on the dynamic rookie back.

Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash game: Tyler Lockett, WR, Seattle Seahawks (DraftKings $6.5K, FanDuel $7.6K)
Keep an eye on the injury report before the game, as Tyler Lockett has injured ribs. If Lockett can go, he will be a target magnet, with Metcalf out for this one.
Tournament: Marquise Goodwin, WR, Seattle Seahawks (DraftKings $4.4K, FanDuel $5.6K)
We have seen Marquise Goodwins' role in the offense grow substantially lately. Goodwin has an ideal opportunity with Metcalf out. If Tyler Lockett can't suit up for this one, Goodwin would be necessary for a team that has a stronger passing game than anyone thought coming into the season.
