Ed Dickson Says He's Ready

Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson (quadriceps) said that he's ready for Week 1 against the Broncos.

Dickson can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Nick Vannett is expected to open the season as the team's starter with rookie Will Dissly serving as the No. 2 tight end.

Ed Dickson Remains On NFI List

Seattle Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson (groin), who remains on the Non-Football Injury list with a strained groin, aggravated something else that has caused his slow return.

Tales From the Turn - Managing Snake Drafts With a Late Pick

I did a few mocks recently in preparation for a long-running league I won last season. 10 teams, ESPN standard scoring; nothing fancy just a group of buddies who started it to find more reasons to watch football together.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) said he's at 80 to 85 percent health right now and that his knee injury is something he'll have to deal with all year. It's not something his fantasy owners want to hear at all. It appears Baldwin will be able to suit up for Week 1 in […]

Rashaad Penny Expected To Be Back For Week 1

Seattle Seahawks rookie first-round pick Rashaad Penny (finger) is expected to be back by Week 1 and should have a sizeable role in the offense, according to head coach Pete Carroll.

Brandon Marshall Not A Lock For Roster

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall still isn't a lock for the final roster despite looking good in practices and developing chemistry with quarterback Russell Wilson. Marshall is 34 years old and is coming off two surgeries. Keeping him on the roster would mean cutting a younger player with more long-term upside. It's possible the […]
