Seahawks Defense Should Be Faded In Week 2

The Seattle Seahawks defense had a solid outing in Week 1, but they are still not a top option for Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. The team generated just one turnover, and it was on a botched snap by the Indianapolis Colts. They gave up over 110 yards on the ground and they allowed […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson didn't have the best game in Week 1, but he has a good matchup in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans to bounce back.

Russell Wilson Should Smash In Week 2

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was a QB1 in Week 1, and he is primed to make that two weeks in a row in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Wilson completed nearly 80 percent of his passes in Week 1 for four touchdowns and 254 yards against a good Indianapolis Colts defense. In Week […]

Seahawks Defense Plays Well In Week 1

The Seattle Seahawks defense was one of the worst groups in the NFL last season, but they started off the 2021 season well in their Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The Seahawks held the Colts to just 16 points on the day, with six of those points coming in garbage time with the […]

Jason Myers Is Perfect In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has one of the best jobs in the NFL.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf picked up right where he left off last season in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts with a solid opening performance.
