Doug Baldwin Finally Finds End Zone

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin finally got the monkey off his back by taking one to the house. Baldwin had been plagued by a knee injury all year, but he reported earlier this week that it was finally painless. He was promptly targeted 10 times and hauled in seven for 52 yards. The touchdown […]

David Moore Overthrown Multiple Times

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore had a few open chances early in Thursday night's game against the Packers, but he unfortunately had a terrible version of Russell Wilson throwing to him. Moore finished the game catching four of eight targets for 57 yards, but owners shouldn't cry doom just yet, as he easily could […]

Tyler Lockett Leads In Receiving Yards

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett led the way amongst Seattle's receivers on Thursday night, but he was unfortunately kept out of the end zone once again. Lockett's value this season has hinged greatly on his ability to find the promised land once the ball's in his hands, and Thursday's game was a good example […]

Mike Davis Looks Good In Third-String Role

Seattle Seahawks running back Mike Davis was relegated to third-string duty on Thursday against the Packers, but he continued to put up great runs in his limited chances. Davis only touched the ball six times, but he finished with 50 all-purpose yards and averaged 6.5 YPC. With rookie Rashaad Penny suffering a sprained ankle, Davis […]

Rashaad Penny Records Huge Run, Sprains Ankle

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny started Thursday night off with a highlight-reel run that will follow him for the rest of his career. Initially bottled up behind the line of scrimmage on the right-hand side of the offense, Penny churned, cut, and spun his way all the way back to the left side and […]

Chris Carson Gashes Green Bay

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson would probably never have played another down if he was a New England Patriot. On the first play from scrimmage on Thursday night, Carson coughed up the football deep in Seattle territory, allowing the Packers to jump out to a quick 7-0 lead. It was a huge mistake, and […]

Russell Wilson Comes Back From Ugly Start

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was way off to start Thursday's game against the Packers, but he found his stride in the second half to lead Seattle to the victory. Wilson was just 3-for-8 in the first quarter, but he completed 78% of the rest of his passes on the evening. His 225 yards and […]

Finding Waiver Wire Gems on Bad Teams

There are a lot of bad teams out there in the NFL in 2018 as you will see in the list below. Some expected, like the Raiders and some not so much, like the Jaguars. Whether bad by design, bad injury luck, or bad coaching (the Raiders fit all three), some players still stand out […]

Rashaad Penny: A Potential RB2 For The Rest Of The Season

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny had a breakout game in Week 10. He will look to finish the season off strong to show the Seahawks coaching staff that he is capable of being the team's number one running back next year. Penny is coming off the best game of the season against the […]

K.J. Wright Doubtful For Thursday Night

Seattle Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) is doubtful to play on Thursday night against the Packers. Wright wants to make sure he's 100 percent healthy for the stretch run of the season. He had arthroscopic knee surgery in the last week of August and missed the first six games of the season. Wright has played […]

Rashaad Penny May Struggle For Touches On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny, who had his first 100-yard game and first touchdown of his career in Week 10 against the Rams, may see his role shrink significantly this Thursday against the Packers with Chris Carson (hip) expected to return from a one-game absence and start. “Yeah, yeah, but when everybody’s healthy, […]

[…]

Doug Baldwin Is Pain-Free

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knees) has been battling knee problems all year long and hasn't been the same player he's been in years past, but he said he's finally pain-free. “Thursday last week was the first day I woke up in the morning and I didn’t feel pain,” Baldwin said. “I’ve been dealing […]

Chris Carson Will Start On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said that running back Chris Carson (hip) will continue to start on Thursday against the Packers after he sat out in Week 10.

Chris Carson Back To Full Practice

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

We're almost done with bye weeks, but Week 11 is another big one. Six teams will be on break which should again limit the number of waiver options available. It should but it won't, as this week will see several of the bottom dwellers in the league sitting out, namely the AFC East. This gives […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 11 Lightning Round

In case anyone felt in control after a chalky Week 9, the NFL brought a swift reminder of its chaos in Week 10.

Rashaad Penny (RB, SEA) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Just when it appeared that it was feasible to believe that Seattle's usage of running backs would have a consistent, understandable pattern, the distribution of 12 touches to Rashaad Penny in Week 10 eviscerated that possibility yet again. Chris Carson's most recent health issue (thigh) […]

Nick Vannett (TE, SEA) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It appears the return of Ed Dickson was nothing more than a red herring.

Chris Carson Out Against Rams

Chris Carson Not Expected To Play Week 10

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (groin) is a game-time decision for Seattle's Week 10 meeting with the Rams, but the expectation is that Carson will not play.
