  "account": "As Washington faces the Seattle Seahawks, quarterback Marcus Mariota occupies the 28th spot in PFN's Week 3 rankings. Notably, the two quarterbacks the Seahawks defense has already encountered this season, Drake Maye and Jacoby Brissett, turned in 9.8 and 6.5 points respectively. Mariota himself has already demonstrated the ability to score over 20 points twice during his previous eight starts. However, Seattle's offensive line is currently missing Laremy Tunsil, and their receiving corps, Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs, don't possess the same level of playmaking ability as they did last season. While a spike play or two could potentially occur, overall, the Commanders' lineup against this defense seems unfavorable.",
