  "account": "As quarterback injuries continue to shake the NFL, fantasy football managers will need to take notice of the impact on their defenses. This week, the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks stand out as the top defensive and special teams unit to start in fantasy football. With Jayden Daniels sidelined, the Commanders' offense will be without its leading playmaker, making Seattle's defense a prime target.\n\nSeattle boasts one of the best defenses in the league, giving up the second-fewest total yards and points through their first two games. Now, they'll have the opportunity to pressure a Washington Commanders offense that struggled to regain its footing with Marcus Mariota under center. This matchup is shaping up to be a top-tier challenge for Seattle's defense, making them the clear choice for Week 3 starts and streamers in fantasy football.",
  "summary": "With starting quarterback Jayden Daniels sidelined in Washington, the Seattle Seahawks are perched atop this week's fantasy defense rankings.",
