Seattle Seahawks' 5 highest graded players in Week 7 according to PFF
Several Seattle Seahawks players put forth excellent performances in Sunday's dominant 34-14 Week 7 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Each week, Pro Football Focus grades every qualifying player in the league. This week, the following Seahawks talents were the five highest-graded performers.
Kenneth Walker III | 87.7
Kenneth Walker III was outstanding on Sunday, rushing for 69 yards and a touchdown via 14 carries en route to averaging an effective 4.9 yards per carry. The dual-threat Walker also added two receptions for 24 yards and an additional score to his offensive totals. Seattle's excellent running back was understandably their highest-graded player.
Derick Hall | 87.7
Derick Hall didn't record a sack on Sunday despite already having five QB takedowns this campaign. That doesn't mean the former Auburn standout didn't make an impact. Hall returned a 36-yard fumble recovery on a Boye Mafe strip-sack for his first career touchdown. He also recorded four pressures.
DK Metcalf | 80.6
DK Metcalf suffered a knee injury in the victory, but he still managed to make a massive impact. The rocked-up Metcalf recorded four receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown, and even caught Jaxon Smith-Njigba's first career passing attempt. We'll monitor Seattle's WR1 and his injury status ahead of a matchup with the Buffalo Bills in Week 8.
Julian Love | 79.1
With Rayshawn Jenkins on IR, and various other secondary defenders sidelined, including Riq Woolen, the Seahawks were counting on receiving a consistent performance from veteran safety Julian Love. That's exactly what they got. Love totaled nine tackles, and more importantly, recorded his second interception of the season.
Tyler Lockett | 77.8
Tyler Lockett continues to be ole reliable. The 2015 draftee hauled in four receptions for 45 receiving yards. Lockett has recorded 45-plus receiving yards in every contest this season, minus the Week 2 win over the New England Patriots. When Geno Smith is in a bind, he scans the field for his most consistent receiving threat.
