Which Rookie Wide Receivers Are Worth Our Attention?

With the NFL Draft now come and gone, we go from scouting incoming players for the draft to now determining their values in fantasy football. The crop of receivers in the 2019 class was an intriguing one. With many experts having varying opinions on how to rank this group. If you follow me on Twitter […]

Bobby Wagner Won't Give Hometown Discount

Those who know Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner say that he won't give the team a hometown discount when it comes to a long-term contract extension. Wagner is in the final year of his current deal and is in no rush to sign an extension if it isn't to his liking. The Seahawks have the […]

D.K. Metcalf Impresses In Rookie Minicamp

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D.K. Metcalf looked like the team's most impressive player during rookie minicamp over the weekend. Head coach Pete Carroll has been very impressed with Metcalf's size and speed early on, and the rookie wideout should have a very big role in the offense in his first season, especially if Doug […]

Will Arizona's New Offense Rise Like a Phoenix?

I think that there are times when we fantasy football writers need to own up to our past mistakes. I'm not talking about small things like "telling someone the wrong start/sit" or "being wrong about a sleeper pick," because those things happen. No, I mean when we get things very wrong, as I did back […]

Rookie Spotlight - D.K. Metcalf

The Seahawks appeared to pull off a very nifty move in the 2019 NFL Draft when they traded up to the 64th pick to nab Mississippi WR D.K. Metcalf. Widely regarded as one of the top wideouts available, there was much speculation he would be picked in the first round. When he started to drop […]

Rookie Wide Receivers Set to Make a Splash in 2019

The 2019 NFL Draft saw 28 wide receivers find homes with NFL teams. A handful others were added as undrafted free agents. The influx of new talent into the league every year always has an effect on the players already there. It goes without saying that most of the rookie WRs will have no impact […]

They Took Who??? Teams That Confused Us by Drafting the Wrong Player

Every year, the NFL Draft treats viewers to surprises. Often, those surprises are...not necessarily good ones. Teams make mistakes, or they make non-mistakes that appear to be mistakes at first glance, and those mistakes can have serious fantasy football ramifications. Last year, I wrote this column and pegged the following players as wrong choices: Josh […]

Teams That Won and Lost the 2019 NFL Draft

If the 2019 NFL Draft took place 10 years ago, with the exact same pool of players to choose from, Kyler Murray would not have been the first overall pick. He would likely not have been the first quarterback taken, and perhaps would not have been drafted in the first round. He is short in […]

Seahawks Acquire Jacob Hollister

The Seattle Seahawks acquired tight end Jacob Hollister from the New England Patriots on Monday.

Doug Baldwin Resolution May Come In A Few Weeks

A resolution to Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin's situation may be "weeks" away, according to general manager John Schneider. After three separate surgeries this offseason, Baldwin is seriously considering retirement. The 30-year-old was hampered by injuries in 2018 and was a shell of his former self, catching 50 passes for 618 yards and five […]

Doug Baldwin's Playing Future In Question

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin, 30, might not be able to continue his career due to multiple injuries, according to sources. There is a real chance that he has played his last down in the NFL. Baldwin is expected to be out six to eight weeks after having hernia surgery last month, and the […]

D.K. Metcalf The Last Pick In Second Round

The Seattle Seahawks traded up with the Patriots and selected Mississippi wide receiver D.K. Metcalf with the No. 64 overall pick (last pick in second round) in the 2019 NFL draft. Metcalf is one of the best at hauling in contested catches deep down the field, which is something that quarterback Russell Wilson likes to […]

Dynasty Price Check - Marvin Jones

The next edition of Dynasty Price Check moves to Detroit. Kenny Golladay's stock keeps shooting up in dynasty leagues but what about lesser-hyped wideout Marvin Jones? A lost second half due to injury could provide a buy-low opportunity but a sluggish Lions offense may not inspire greater numbers than he has already produced in the […]

Seattle Picks L.J. Collier At No. 28

The Seattle Seahawks selected Texas Christian defensive end L.J. Collier with the No. 29 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. The Seahawks acquired this pick by sending defensive end Frank Clark to the Chiefs this week. Collier doesn't have elite speed, but he has excellent technique off the edge and produced in college. After […]
