Buy or sell five surprise teams with a good start? Promoted/Relegated teams from week 3; MVP rankings

Seattle is the hardest team to judge on this list because of its schedule. The Seahawks have yet to lose, but they’ve also played a team led by a rookie quarterback (Denver), another that’s likely to get a high pick in next year’s draft (New England), and a third that’s playing without its quarterback and lost his backup to injury during the game (Miami). That’s certainly one way to get off to a fast start in the NFL. The problem is, the Seahawks haven’t looked as impressive as Sunday’s 24-3 rout of the Dolphins as Exhibit A. As lopsided as the final score was, Seattle committed 11 penalties and actually lost the turnover battle (two to none). Injuries are also a problem for this team, as they entered Sunday without several key offensive players (running back Kenneth Walker III, right tackle Abe Lucas and backup right tackle George Fant) and then lost two key players on defense (defensive linemen Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy II). The competition will also be much tougher going forward. Over the next five weeks, Seattle faces four tough opponents: Detroit, San Francisco, Atlanta and Buffalo. We’ll know a lot more about the Seahawks after this stretch, but the news might not be so positive. DECISION: SELL
