Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith had a rough day at the office in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. With top wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) out of the lineup, Smith and the Seahawks offense as a whole struggled to get anything going. Smith continued to be accurate (72% completion percentage), but he failed to throw a touchdown for the first time this season. Smith and the Seahawks seemed to be building offensive momentum after a great Week 7 in Atlanta, but that came crashing down in Week 8. Overall, the game was a mess for the Seahawks as they lost 31 to 10. Luckily, Metcalf's injury is not serious and he could return as soon as Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams. Either way, expect Smith to have a better day next week against a softer defense.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, there is optimism around Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love's (groin) status for this Sunday, and he is considered day-to-day. Love underwent an MRI on Monday, confirming he escaped Sunday's victory having avoided a long-term injury. It's excellent news for Green Bay, as the 25-year-old remained in Week 8's 30-27 win over the Jaguars even after initially tweaking his groin. Still, his status for Week 9 remains to be determined. Fantasy managers will want to monitor this situation, as the Packers' game plan could change with third-year QB Malik Willis under center -- particularly the potential for a more run-centric attack. Green Bay will host their division-rival Detroit Lions this Sunday -- one of the more staunch defensive units in the league.
