Early Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers For 2024 Redraft Leagues

One of the more satisfying elements of fantasy baseball is finding players in the middle and late rounds and seeing them turn into big-time producers. Players who miss time in a previous season, unsung producers on bad teams, and platoon bats are often underappreciated and fall in drafts. Not every lottery ticket will be a […]

Will Dissly Scores In Season Finale

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly had 46 receiving yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals. While Dissly was the one who scored, it was Colby Parkinson who saw the biggest increase in snaps after the early departure of Noah Fant (hand) due to injury. Both tight ends tied with […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Has Quiet Finish

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught three of his five targets for 14 yards in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. The receptions were tied with tight ends Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson for the team lead but made for a quiet end to a modest debut season for the Ohio State product. Selected […]

Tyler Lockett Ends 2023 With A Touchdown

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett saw four targets in Week 18, catching two passes for 71 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 21-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Late-game heroics were once again necessary to give the Seahawks the win and this time it was Lockett's turn to be the star. At the two-minute […]

DK Metcalf Closes Out Season With One Catch

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf saw a team-high six targets in Week 18 but had just one catch for 10 yards in Sunday's win, making it his least productive game of the year. Most of the balls that went Metcalf's way were well off-target as quarterback Geno Smith was under intense pressure and hurrying […]

Zach Charbonnet Efficient In Backup Role

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet had his most productive game in weeks in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. The rookie took five rushing attempts 32 yards and caught both of his targets for 28 receiving yards. His receptions late in the fourth quarter advanced the Seahawks into Cardinals' territory, setting up Geno Smith's […]

Kenneth Walker III Leads Backfield With 17 Carries

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III took 17 carries for 78 yards in Week 18. He also caught his only target for three yards in the win over the Arizona Cardinals. Ten of Walker's attempts were for three yards or less but his stat line was bailed out with four rushes that resulted in […]

Geno Smith Leads Another Game-Winning Drive

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith went 16-for-28 for 189 passing yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Smith also gained 28 rushing yards on three carries in the game. Smith was under heavy pressure throughout the contest and had difficulty syncing up with his receivers. Still, Smith once again led […]

Seattle D/ST Hard To Trust In Week 18

All season long, Seattle's D/ST has been a hard play. Seattle is a bottom-10 team in points allowed this season, giving up 23.9 per game, and they have allowed 27 or more points seven times this season (and gave up 26 to Washington in Week 10). Perhaps feeding into this is the fact that the […]

Jason Myers A Good Bet In Week 18

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts and connected on both extra-point tries in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The field goal attempts were from 24, 42, and 43 yards away. Myers has been perfect on extra-point attempts all season and he now has a four-game streak without a missed […]

Noah Fant A Fade In Week 18

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant set season-highs for receptions and targets last Sunday, catching five of six targets for 59 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has led the team's tight end group in snap share all season but has seldom been involved as a pass catcher. Going into the last game of the […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Ready For Rematch Against Arizona

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba saw a season-low two targets in Week 17. The one catch he made resulted in a 12-yard touchdown, salvaging an otherwise forgettable outing. Working behind veterans DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett (toe), Smith-Njigba never had the big rookie breakout that fantasy football players were hoping for in 2023. His […]

Tyler Lockett Good To Go In Week 18

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (toe) is healthy and ready to play in Week 18. The nine-year veteran popped up on the team's injury report on Thursday with a sore toe but he was still able to practice in full and has no designation heading into the last game of the regular season. The […]

DK Metcalf Set For A Strong Finish

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf had his third 100-yard game of the season last Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching five of eight targets for 106 yards. The yardage carried him across the 1,000-yard mark for the year, giving him his third such season in his five-year career. In Week 18, Metcalf and the […]

Zach Charbonnet Finishing Season In Backup Role

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet will finish out the season working behind Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) in Week 18. Despite dealing with a shoulder injury that limited his ability to practice this week, Walker is off the team's injury report and ready to start against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Charbonnet has been featured […]

Kenneth Walker III Primed For Big Finish

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) is on track to play in Week 18 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 23-year-old logged a DNP on Wednesday and was limited in practice on Thursday, before finally participating in full on Friday. Walker has been playing through a shoulder injury, so it may be that the […]

Geno Smith A Solid Bet In Week 18

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith posted a decent line in a losing effort in Week 17. Facing the Pittsburgh Steelers, he completed 23-of-33 passes for 290 yards and a touchdown and took three carries for 33 yards on the ground. Sitting on the playoff bubble, Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals is a must-win game […]

Jeremy Ruckert Out For Week 18

New York Jets tight end Jeremy Ruckert (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 18. The 23-year-old suffered a concussion in Week 16 against the Washington Commanders and has not practiced since that game. Ruckert's season ends having caught 16 of his 22 targets for 151 receiving yards. With Ruckert out for the season finale, […]

Kendre Miller Questionable For Week 18

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (ankle/illness) is listed as questionable for Week 18. Miller logged two limited practices earlier in the week while tending to the ankle injury that has kept him out since Week 10. On Friday, he did not participate due to an illness. Starter Alvin Kamara (ankle) did not practice […]
