Below you will find our 2018 fantasy football projections for the Seattle Seahawks.

Quarterbacks

 

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDFLPoints
Russell Wilson529328386228.610.685.4461.22.12.7301
A top-three fantasy quarterback in three of the past four seasons, Wilson has rushed for 2,777 yards and 20 touchdowns in his six NFL seasons. But he's also averaged over 4,000 passing yards over the past three seasons and threw for a league-high 34 touchdowns in 2017. Despite his dual-threat abilities, Wilson has never missed an NFL game. So, in other words, he has tons of weekly upside with a solid floor.

Running Backs

 

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDFLPoints
Rashaad Penny201.1874.86.627.7227.10.81.1152.39
With good size (5-11, 220) and speed (4.46 forty), Penny could eventually be used as a three-down back for the Seahawks. At least to open training camp, it's Chris Carson -- not Penny -- that tops the team's depth chart. Penny should take over that position on the depth chart, but it may happen as soon as most expected.
Chris Carson115.3507.3411.998.80.40.286.61
A sleeper pick in 2017, Carson was off to a promising start, but he missed the final 12 games. If it weren't for the team drafting Rashaad Penny in the first round this year, many would tout Carson as a breakout candidate in 2018. Even so, the second-year back entered training camp atop the depth chart.

Wide Receivers

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDFLPoints
Doug Baldwin81.21051.57.31.43.100.2148.86
Falling just shy of the 1,000-yard mark last season, Baldwin has 247/3,188/29 over the past three seasons and has finished as the WR7, WR10 and WR13, respectively, in standard-scoring formats over the past three seasons.
Tyler Lockett53.2702.24.38.166.40.50.1111.46
Lockett played a full 16-game slate last season, but he was never 100 percent. With Paul Richardson in Washington (D.C.) and the uncertainty of what the Seahawks will get from Brandon Marshall, Lockett has breakout potential in 2018 now that he's healthy.
Brandon Marshall28.9294.82.90000.146.68
Marshall had a 109/1,502/14 season in 2015, but that feels so long ago. Signing a one-year deal (with not much money guaranteed) with the Seahawks, Marshall isn't a lock to make the roster and (if he does) his fantasy outlook isn't all that appealing.
Amara Darboh28.1275.42.20000.140.54
Tanner McEvoy21.8228.91.10000.328.89
Jaron Brown6.5102.70.60000.113.67

Tight Ends

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDFLPoints
Ed Dickson28.8380.22.90000.155.22
With Jimmy Graham now in Green Bay, Dickson signed a free-agent deal to join the Seahawks. Although Graham had double-digit touchdowns last year and over 900 yards the year prior, expectations for Dickson, Nick Vannett or any of Seattle's tight end should be relatively modest.
Nick Vannett14.7154.41.30000.123.04
