Janikowski converted two of three extra points and a 48-yard field goal in Sunday's overtime loss to the 49ers.
After hitting the first 33 extra points of the season, Janikowski has missed three of 10 over the last three weeks. The 40-year old is still formidable with the Seahawks by nailing 18 of 22 field goals (82 percent) this season, but missed extra points could prove costly if it extends into the likely postseason.
Davis rushed five times for 21 yards and caught all of a team-high eight targets for 63 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the 49ers.
Despite being the main backup to Chris Carson with Rashaad Penny (knee) out, Davis was barely used in the running game but he made up for it substantially in the passing game. Davis didn't get carries because of how Carson was rolling with 22 rushes for 119 yards (5.4 YPC) and a score, but it's a promising sign that he could make up ground through the air. Still, if Penny returns in Week 16 against the Chiefs, Davis could see limited opportunities again.
Lockett hauled in both targets for 45 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the 49ers. He also rushed once for 11 yards.
This is the third straight week Lockett has been kept below 53 yards and the second straight without a touchdown. The fourth-year pro lives off the deep ball as he has 15.4 yards per catch this season, ranking ninth among receivers with more than 40 receptions. That boom-or-bust mentality hinders Lockett's fantasy value if he doesn't find the end zone since he's averaging just 3.5 catches per game. Lockett will look to get back in the saddle in Week 16 versus the Chiefs, who have the league's worst pass defense.

Seahawks' Doug Baldwin: Doubles down on paydirt
Rotowire
Dec 17, 2018
Baldwin caught four of six targets for 77 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's overtime loss to the 49ers.
Baldwin didn't look hampered after missing Week 14's game against the Vikings. He hauled in his first look of the day, a five-yard touchdown pass that found him in the back of the end zone, to give the Seahawks an early lead. Later in the first half, the veteran wideout made a leaping grab in between three defenders and evaded them all for a 35-yard score to cut the 49ers' lead to one. Baldwin now has four touchdowns in the last four games he suited up, so fantasy owners who maintained faith through the lows received a generous reward.
Carson rushed 22 times for 119 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's overtime loss to the 49ers. He also caught all six targets for 29 yards.
Carson found the end zone for the fourth time in five games by punching in a one-yard score early in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 20. Without Rashaad Penny (knee) in the equation, Carson dominated the backfield while Mike Davis and J.D McKissic combined for just seven carries. The second-year pro capitalized on his opportunity and produced career bests with six catches and 148 scrimmage yards. Carson will look to keep the momentum rolling when the Seahawks host the Chiefs in Week 16.

Seahawks' Jordan Simmons: Injury believed to be mild
Rotowire
Dec 17, 2018
The team believes Simmons has a first-degree knee sprain, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
A first-degree sprain would indicate the least severe damage to one of the knee ligaments. Nevertheless, Simmons is likely to miss at least a week while recovering. Crabtree surmised in the same Twitter thread that D.J. Fluker (hamstring) at least has a chance to return for Week 16 against the Chiefs, but if both players are unable to go, Ethan Pocic would probably draw the start.

Seahawks' Russell Wilson: Can't clinch playoffs
Rotowire
Dec 17, 2018
Wilson completed 23 of 31 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's overtime loss to the 49ers.
A win here and the Seahawks would've locked up a playoff spot despite an 0-2 start to the season. Wilson tossed a touchdown to Doug Baldwin during the team's opening drive and another to him at the end of the first half. The passing game slowed down in the second half as Wilson completed 11 of 15 for just 87 yards (5.8 YPA) while losing 20 yards on three sacks. Despite the struggles, the Seahawks had a chance for redemption in overtime but couldn't manage a first down, and the 49ers won with a field goal on the following drive. Wilson and the Seahawks will host Kansas City in Week 16 on Sunday Night Football.
McDougald (knee) has patella tendonitis according to coach Pete Carroll, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
It is a more specific diagnosis than anything previously reported, but it's apparently the same issue McDougald has been playing through for a while. He made one tackle before departing. With a tough matchup against the Chiefs on tap for Week 16 and the Seahawks fighting for a playoff spot, his health will be something to monitor.

Seahawks' Jordan Simmons: Leaves game Sunday
Rotowire
1H ago
Simmons is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers with a knee injury, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Simmons got the start at right guard in lieu of D.J. Fluker (hamstring), so that leaves the Seahawks precariously thin at the position. Ethan Pocic is now in the game for Simmons.
McDougald suffered a knee injury in Sunday's game against the 49ers and is doubtful to return, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
That's definitely not good news for the Seattle secondary as McDougald has played at least 44 snaps in all but one game this season for the Seahawks. Delano Hill stands to take over at strong safety in the meantime.

Seahawks' Jarran Reed: Ready for Sunday's game
Rotowire
5H ago
Reed (oblique) is active for Sunday's game versus the 49ers.
Reed has added a strong pass rush to the Seahawks defensive front with 6.5 sacks in 13 games. He had a sack against the 49ers in Week 13 and will look to duplicate that effort this time around.
