Rodriguez recorded 12 rushes for 65 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.

Rodriguez's final line was aided by garbage time, as he found the end zone and picked up 38 yards in the final eight minutes of game time. However, his role in the Washington offense is still noteworthy, as he was out-touched only 13-12 by Jacory Croskey-Merritt, a split that was only mildly skewed by opportunity late in the game. While Rodriguez isn't likely to take over lead-back duties in Week 10 against the Lions, it appears he may be in line for an increased role.

Gay did not attempt a field goal while making both of his extra-point tries in Sunday night's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.

Gay was back in action in Week 9 after missing one contest with a back injury, going without a field-goal try for the second straight game in which he's started. The kicker has had an inconsistent campaign in terms of workload and production, and he has now gone 10-for-14 on field-goal attempts, including 4-for-7 from 50-plus yards, while making all 20 of his PATs over eight games this year.

Horton finished with four receptions on as many targets for 48 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-14 rout of the Commanders.

Horton filled in for injured starter Cooper Kupp (heel/hamstring) on Sunday Night Football, resulting in the first multi-score game of his young career. The 2025 fifth-round pick wasted no time seizing his opportunity, catching touchdown passes on consecutive scoring drives out of the gates for Seattle. Horton's production was muted in the second half after Sam Darnold began spreading the ball around to auxiliary options in the blowout victory. It is unclear how much more time Kupp will miss (if any), but Horton certainly made his case for more targets moving forward as Seattle prepares to host Arizona next Sunday.

Myers made his only field-goal attempt and went 5-for-5 on extra-point tries during Sunday night's 38-14 win over the Commanders.

Myers connected on a 41-yard field goal as time expired in the first half, notching at least one field goal for the third straight game and seventh contest overall this year. The kicker has now gone 14-for-18 on field-goal tries, including 4-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making all 27 of his PATs over eight games this season.

Ertz recorded four receptions on four targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.

Ertz remained one of Jayden Daniels' (arm) more reliable targets, as he led the team in yards while finishing second in targets and receptions. He logged a pair of receptions on Washington's first possession that went for 17 yards, and he also tallied a long 25-yard catch on the Commanders' opening drive of the second half. Ertz's outlook moving forward is complicated by the likely absence of Daniels, as he has only nine receptions for 78 yards combined across Marcus Mariota's three starts this season.

Charbonnet took eight carries for 25 yards while adding one reception for 21 yards in Sunday's 38-14 win over Washington.

Charbonnet failed to replicate the magic from last week's primetime two-score performance, finishing with 46 total yards and no trips to the end zone on Sunday Night Football. The talented backup has become somewhat touchdown-dependent in fantasy this year, failing to top 49 rushing yards in any of his seven appearances with minimal involvement in the passing game this season. Starter Kenneth Walker is the stabler fantasy option out of Seattle's two-pronged backfield, but Charbonnet could still provide value for those in deeper formats in a soft matchup against Arizona next Sunday.

Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Daniels suffered a left elbow injury in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks, but Quinn didn't have any further updates on Daniels' status, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

Daniels needed a brace to stabilize his left, non-throwing arm after sustaining an injury in the fourth quarter. A more concrete recovery timeline for Daniels will likely be established following additional evaluation of the injury. Marcus Mariota is set to fill in as the starting QB beginning with Week 10 against the Lions.

Samuel recorded five receptions on six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks. He added one rush for three yards as well as one kick return for 30 yards.

No Commanders offensive skill-position player had a particularly strong showing in Sunday night's loss, though Samuel did lead the team in both targets and receptions. His most significant contribution was a 19-yard gain that came primarily after the catch late in the third quarter. Samuel may still be slowed by a heel injury, having logged three straight games with 45 yards from scrimmage or fewer. His chance of turning things around moving forward is also complicated by the likely absence of Jayden Daniels (arm).

Walker took 11 carries for 42 yards while adding two receptions on as many targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 38-14 rout of the Commanders.

QB Sam Darnold and Seattle's passing attack stole the show on Sunday Night Football, accounting for 330 of the team's 418 net yards of offense and four of its five touchdowns against Washington. Walker still led the Seahawks' backfield in carries and production, out-touching Zach Charbonnet by four in the comfortable win. The 24-year-old Walker checks in as Seattle's leading rusher as we cross the midpoint of the regular season, recording 472 yards (4.5 YPC) and three touchdowns across eight games. Walker will be hungry for his fourth score against the Cardinals next Sunday after punching in all three of his touchdowns in Weeks 1 through 3.

Croskey-Merritt rushed the ball 12 times for 38 yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.

Croskey-Merritt managed double-digit rushing attempts for the fourth time in his last five games, though he also ceded a significant amount of work to Chris Rodriguez. The split backfield wasn't solely a product of garbage time, as Croskey-Merritt out-touched Rodriguez only 5-4 at halftime. Washington's choice to change the touch allocation may have come as a result of Croskey-Merritt's inefficiency, as he's now been held below 4.0 yards per carry in four consecutive games while failing to log a rush of at least 20 yards in that span. Overall, he has been held below 40 yards from scrimmage in three straight contests.
