Jaron Brown A Likely Red-Zone Target

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaron Brown may or may not see a lot of action in most weeks, but with a mixture of injuries and youth highlighting Seattle's receiving corps in Week 1, Brown has a good chance for some red-zone opportunities. Though Brown only caught 14 passes last season, five of those were for […]

Tyler Lockett Could Be Huge In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is now officially the team's No. 1 receiver and the guys behind him are young, injured or both, and he looked like he was in an entirely different league than the defenders he got paired against in the preseason. Quarterback Russell Wilson and Lockett seem like they are perfectly aligned. […]

C.J. Prosise Could Rock Week 1

Seattle Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise is actually healthy! At least, momentarily. He's been scratched on a game day morning before, but for now, he may finally get a crack at the field. Prosise has been one of the most injured players in the league for the last couple years, and it's been a serious […]

Rashaad Penny Might Get Overlooked

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny is No. 2 on the team's depth chart, but that doesn't mean much in head coach Pete Carroll's world. Penny was theoretically No.2 last season and was the team's first-round pick, but he regularly got passed by on game day with the team opting for a variety of other […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson is coming off a big year, and he gets a fun matchup to start 2019. After racking up more than 1,100 yards in 2018, Carson comes into Week 1 as the team's top choice in the backfield again, and he gets to face a Bengals Defense that got ran […]

Russell Wilson Poised For Big Week

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is ready to rock against a Bengals Defense that is coming off a terrible season.

Reality Check: Why Your RB Sleepers Won't Wake Up

"Embrace reality, even if it burns you." - Pierre Berge This quote is ironic for a couple of reasons. First of all, this is a column about fantasy sports. Fantasy - the very definition reads, "the power or process of creating especially unrealistic or improbable mental images in response to psychological need." An escape from […]

Ziggy Ansah Now Questionable For Seahawks Defense

Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks defensive end Ziggy Ansah (shoulder) is now questionable to play in Week 1 against the Bengals after not being listed on the final injury report earlier on Friday. Ansah should be able to play in the season opener on Sunday, but it'd be a surprise if he's in on […]

David Moore Out Next Two Weeks

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore (arm) will not play in Week 1 against the Bengals and will also miss Week 2. Head coach Pete Carroll is optimistic that Moore will have a decent chance to return in Week 3 or after, though. Tyler Lockett should be in all fantasy lineups for the season opener […]

D.K. Metcalf, Ziggy Ansah Not On Final Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (knee) and defensive end Ziggy Ansah (groin) are not on the final injury report for Week 1 against the Bengals.
