David Moore (WR, SEA) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore has gone without a catch in back-to-back games, but is still a good play for Week 15. Moore was not targeted in either of the last two games as well, odd considering that he had a 103-yard […]
Rashaad Penny Active Against Vikings
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (ankle) is active on Monday night against the Vikings.

However, Carson is playing on Monday night and should remain […]
Doug Baldwin Won't Play Monday Night
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (groin) has been ruled inactive for Monday night against the Vikings.

Rashaad Penny Listed As Questionable
Despite practicing all week, Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night against the Vikings.
