Frank Gore was one of our Red Alerts of the week in our Start’em Sit’em Week 2 article, but after news about the nagging injuries to linebacker Lofa Tatupu and a few other Seahawk defense players this weeks match-up doesn’t seem too bad. We are making the audible from bench to start with good to average expectations.

Lofa Tatupu Seahawks MLB (questionable, hamstring) missed his third straight practice on Friday.

Leroy Hill Seahawks LB Out
Comment: Although initial reports had Hill missing just two weeks with a groin injury, the Seahawks learned Wednesday that Hill is expected to miss at least six weeks, the Sports Network reports.

Frank Gore had only 30 yards on the ground last week with a 1.7 yards per carry average.
