K.J. Wright Getting Scope On Knee

Seattle Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) is having a scope done on his knee on Monday, according to head coach Pete Carroll.

Doug Baldwin Close To Full Participation

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) did some individual work off to the side in practice on Monday, and he's clearly close to full activities.

Rookie Roulette - Which First-Year RB Is #2 in Re-Draft?

Saquon Barkley will be the first running back drafted this year in re-draft leagues.

If you take a different rookie running back […]

Seahawks Wideout Picture Clearing Up

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tanner McEvoy was waived over the weekend, which likely means wideouts David Moore and perhaps Keenan Reynolds have taken a step closer toward making the 53-man roster.

Why ZeroRB Didn't Work in 2017

For someone drafting 8th in a 10-man league last year, going Zero-RB could have potentially netted them a top-three round haul of Mike Evans, Jordy Nelson, and Demaryius Thomas. On draft day, this is an amazing stack of WR1s. By the end of the year, it's weekly middling to poor performances that the owners' highest draft […]

David Moore To Get Chance In Return Game

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore will get a chance to return some kicks in the preseason game Friday in Minnesota with RB/KR JD McKissic (foot) sidelined. Moore is battling for a spot on the 53-man roster, so if he can show some versatility in the return game it might push oft-injured Amara Darboh to […]

JD McKissic Out At Least One Month

Seattle Seahawks running back JD McKissic (foot) will be sidelined at least four to six weeks due to a foot injury suffered earlier this week during practice. "It's a 4-6 week deal for JD," head coach Pete Carroll said Thursday. "We really miss him, he has been such a spark plug for our club and […]

C.J. Prosise To Get Long Look On Friday

Seattle Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise is expected to see more playing time in the preseason game on Friday night in Minnesota. He missed the first preseason game, and was limited last week as he makes his way back from a hip injury. "C.J. was very limited in his first game, he's not so limited […]

Brandon Marshall To Start In Week 1?

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall had his best week of practice, head coach Pete Carroll said Thursday. The 34-year-old was limited to a career-low 18 receptions across five games in a New York Giants uniform, as he faced a myriad of injuries including ankle and toe ailments which required corrective surgery. He also battled […]

Amara Darboh Out For Friday's Game

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Amara Darboh (clavicle) will not play in Friday's preseason game in Minnesota, as he continues to heal from a clavicle injury. It is believed that the 2017 third-round pick needs to get onto the field soon just to secure a roster spot. Darboh faces plenty of competition from up-and-comers Jaron Brown […]

Jaron Brown (WR, SEA) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~250 CURRENT ADP: ~310 ANALYSIS: While the name certainly is not one of the sexier ones, Jaron Brown joins a Seattle offense that’s starved for offensive firepower having lost both Paul Richardson and Jimmy Graham to free agency. Quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 35 touchdowns in 2017, with 16 of them going to Graham and Richardson, so the opportunity for […]

Under-the-Radar Route Runners To Target Late

Often times, what draws spectators and fantasy enthusiasts to a wide receiver is their size, their speed, their ability to reach over defenders and snatch balls out of the air, and their ability to score touchdowns. That’s all well and good, but rarely do we look at what makes a wide receiver truly special – […]

Fantasy Football Pop Quiz - AFC East

I was not ready to come back to fantasy football. I suspected that to be the case when I started using Sundays to walk my recently rescued dog around the park, or hitting the grocery store in the morning. I had a strong feeling I wasn't ready when we enjoyed the World Cup and baseball […]

Jon Ryan Leaving Seattle

Seattle Seahawks punter Jon Ryan is officially calling it quits with the Seahawks following the team's second preseason game. The team reached in the draft by taking Michael Dickson in the fifth round, so Ryan was a likely cap casualty anyway, but Dickson has also clearly outplayed Ryan this preseason by punting the ball further […]

Rasheem Green Looks Like He'll Be A Star

Seattle Seahawks rookie defensive lineman Rasheem Green racked up another 1.5 sacks against the Chargers, giving him three in two games. The third-round pick has shown impressive skill up front, and he once again showed that he can be effective against both the run and the pass. Green is being molded to take Michael Bennett's […]

David Moore Makes Spectacular Grab

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore is one of a handful of guys battling to snag one of Seattle's final two receiver spots, and he laid down quite an audition on Saturday night.

Jaron Brown Shines Against Los Angeles

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaron Brown was the team's No. 1 wideout against the Chargers due to Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett staying on the sidelines with injuries, and he showed up. Brown got his damage done quickly, hauling in a 29-yard grab on the team's first offensive play and then snagging a 45-yard bomb […]

Russell Wilson Goes Deep Often Against Chargers

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson looked confident and comfortable in the pocket in the second preseason game against Los Angeles. Wilson regularly looked deep and connected on one huge 52-yard bomb to David Moore in the second quarter. Wilson finished his night 13-for-21 for 193 yards, but many of his misses were deep balls where […]

Chris Carson Looks Good Besides Fumbles

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson ran well during Seattle's second preseason game, but the only thing that's really going to be remembered were the fumbles.
