In addition to viewing our 2020 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2020 fantasy football projections for the Seattle Seahawks.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for all 32 NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Russell Wilson	501.1	328.2	3958.7	29.06	7.77	77.9	409	1.75	310.45
Few teams are more commited to the run than the Seahawks, but Wilson has finished as a top-three fantasy quarterback in four of the past six seasons. One of the league's best deep passers, Wilson has thrown more than 30 touchdowns in three consecutive seasons and he's a near lock for 300-plus rushing yards and a couple more scores.
Geno Smith	12.8	7.4	87	0.41	0.38	2.4	9	0.04	5.5

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Chris Carson	247.8	1090.3	6.81	34.7	258.5	1.56	185.1
Carson (hip) has declared himself "100% healthy and will be ready to go for Week 1. Playing 15 games last season, Carson handled a career-high 315 touches for 1,496 yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns.
Carlos Hyde	64.9	262.8	1.78	10.8	67.5	0.27	45.33
Coming off his first 1,000-yard rushing campaign, Hyde has signed with the Seahawks and provides depth with Penny starting the season on the PUP list.
Rashaad Penny	49.6	230.6	1.49	13.1	115.3	0.46	46.29
A surprise first-round pick in 2018, Penny has been efficient with his touches -- 5.26 YPC and 9.29 Y/R -- as a change-of-pace to Chris Carson. Recovering from his torn ACL, Penny begins 2020 on the reserve/PUP list, which means he will miss a minimum of six games to start the season.
DeeJay Dallas	14.2	60.4	0.32	16.5	122.9	0.54	23.49
Travis Homer	2.4	10.4	0.05	1	6.8	0.02	2.14

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Tyler Lockett	75.3	1012.8	7.34	7.1	45.8	0.21	151.16
While the Seahawks rank near the bottom of the league in pass attempts every year, Lockett is one of the most efficient receivers in the NFL and saw a significant uptick in target share (21.3% in 2019 vs. 16.4% in 2018) with the retirement of Doug Baldwin. Despite playing through injury in the middle of the season, Lockett set career highs in targets (110), receptions (82) and yards (1,057) in 2019. The 5'10" receiver led the NFL in red-zone targets (23) in 2019.
D.K. Metcalf	61.4	911.8	7.06	2.4	14	0.05	135.24
A physical marvel (4.33 forty and 40.5" vertical at 6'3" and 228 pounds), Metcalf slipped to the end of Round 2 in the draft, but he made an immediate impact for the Seahawks. As a rookie, Metcalf finished with 58 catches for 900 yards (15.5 Y/R) and seven touchdowns. And the team plans to move Metcalf around "quite a bit more" in 2020.
Phillip Dorsett	24	318	2.04	2.4	15	0.04	45.78
Josh Gordon	10.1	175.7	1.01	0	0	0	23.63
David Moore	8.4	131	1.05	1.2	8.7	0.02	20.39
John Ursua	4.8	52.1	0.29	0	0	0	6.95
Freddie Swain	2.2	25.2	0.17	0	0	0	3.54

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Will Dissly	32.3	373.1	4.04	0	0	0	61.55
Devastating injuries prematurely ended back-to-back seasons to begin his career, but Dissly has averaged 13.5 Y/R and scored six touchdowns on only 31 receptions. The signing of Greg Olsen in free agency allows the Seahawks to be patient early with Dissly (Achilles) even though he has passed his physical.
Greg Olsen	34.2	381.3	2.99	0	0	0	56.07
Since his 1,000-yard three-peat (2014-'16), Olsen has missed multiple games in three consecutive seasons, but he finished with a receiving line of 52/597/2 in a mostly-healthy 14-game campaign last year. If he can stay healthy (and Dissly can't), Olsen could be stream-worthy with fringe TE1 upside in his age-35 season.
Jacob Hollister	6.7	63	0.47	0	0	0	9.12
Luke Willson	2.6	26	0.22	0	0	0	3.92

2018 Fantasy Football Projections: Cleveland Browns

In addition to viewing our 2018 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2018 fantasy football projections for the Cleveland Browns.

Quarterbacks

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Tyrod Taylor	366.1	228.8	2691	16.1	4.8	52.8	295.7	3.2	1.5	208.21
Taylor will be the Week 1 starter, but will he also be the starter in Week 17? The Browns should be better (then again, they can't be much worse -- 1-31 over past two seasons), but will those incremental gains keep No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield off the field for the entire season? Due to his rushing production and upgrade in receiving corps (compared to Buffalo's), Taylor could be a top-12 fantasy quarterback on a per-game basis for as long as he's the starter and is an elite option for streamers.
Baker Mayfield	203.1	123.9	1452	8.1	5.3	13.5	56.7	0.4	1	85.95
Unless you're in a 2-QB league, Mayfield is not on the re-draft radar. Whenever he becomes the starter, which seems likely to occur at some point this season (post-bye based on my projections), he will become worth a look as a streaming option.
Drew Stanton	2.9	1.5	18	0.1	0.1	0.4	1.2	0	0	1.04

Running Backs

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Carlos Hyde	148.9	625.4	5.4	31.3	190.9	0.8	0.8	117.23
Playing a full 16-game slate for the first time in his four NFL seasons, Hyde set career highs in yards from scrimmage (1,288) and receptions (59) but a career low in yards per carry (3.9). The Browns used a top-33 selection on Nick Chubb, but Hyde sits atop the team's depth chart and is likely to get the most work amongst the team's backs.
Duke Johnson	53.2	231.4	1.6	52.6	499.7	2.1	1.4	92.51
Through three NFL seasons, Johnson has exceeded 50 receptions and 500 receiving yards every year and he set career highs last season with 74/693/3 receiving. With both Carlos Hyde and Nick Chubb replacing the free-agency loss of Isaiah Crowell, Johnson may get even fewer carries. Meanwhile, the addition of slot receiver Jarvis Landry could lead to fewer targets and receptions for the former Hurricane.
Nick Chubb	128.2	557.7	4.4	10.4	78	0.2	0.7	89.77
Going into the draft, most expected the Browns to take a Chubb. While they passed on one Chubb (cousin Bradley at No. 4), the Browns selected another (Nick) with the first pick of Round 2. Even if Hyde currently tops the depth chart, it wouldn't be out of the question for Chubb to become the lead back at some point during the season.

Wide Receivers

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Josh Gordon	59.5	1002.6	6.2	0	0	0	0.2	137.06
Since leading the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards in 2013, Gordon has played a total of 10 games -- five in 2014 and five in 2017 -- due to suspension. Having recently reported to the team, Gordon has the upside for a top-10 season if he's able to stay on the field for a full season, but his risks are obvious.
Jarvis Landry	99.5	1005	5.2	1.6	7.2	0	2	129.02
Leading the NFL last season with a career-high 112 receptions, Landry finished the season with 987 yards and nine touchdowns (also a career high). A threat for triple-digit catches, Landry could once again push for the league lead in receptions, especially if Gordon were to miss any time.
Antonio Callaway	38.7	507	3.7	0	0	0	0.2	72.5
Selected in the fourth round, Callaway should have been selected higher based on talent and lower based on off-field issues (latest example). Helping to make Corey Coleman expendable (traded to Buffalo, who later released him), the rookie "tore up the defensive backs in 1-on-1 drills" early in training camp. Callaway has upside as a late-round sleeper in deeper formats.
Rashard Higgins	15.5	182.9	1.1	0	0	0	0.1	24.69
Damion Ratley	2.8	33.6	0.2	0	0	0	0	4.56

Playing less than half of the team's offensive snaps, Njoku posted a 32/386/4 stat line as a rookie in 2017. Coach Hue Jackson says that he expects a big jump from Njoku in Year 2.
Seth Devalve	14.8	179.1	1.2	0	0	0	0.1	24.91

Wide Receivers

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Josh Gordon	58.2	980.7	6.1	0	0	0	0.2	134.27
Since leading the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards in 2013, Gordon has played a total of 10 games -- five in 2014 and five in 2017 -- due to suspension. Gordon has the upside for a top-10 season if he's able to (get and) stay on the field for a full season, but his risks are obvious. Still away from the team (perhaps longer than most anticipated), it's unclear when Gordon will return and the team will host free-agent Dez Bryant later this week (Aug. 16th).
Jarvis Landry	102.3	1033.2	5.3	1.6	7.2	0	2	132.44
Leading the NFL last season with a career-high 112 receptions, Landry finished the season with 987 yards and nine touchdowns (also a career high). A threat for triple-digit catches, Landry could once again push for the league lead in receptions, especially if Gordon were to miss any time.

2018 Fantasy Football Projections: Cleveland Browns

Quarterbacks

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Tyrod Taylor	346.1	216.3	2544	15.2	4.5	51.6	289	3.1	1.5	198.06
Taylor will be the Week 1 starter, but will he also be the starter in Week 17? The Browns should be better (then again, they can't be much worse), but those incremental gains are unlikely to keep No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield off the field for the entire season. Based on my projections, I have Taylor slated to start until the team's bye. Due to his rushing production and upgrade in receiving corps, Taylor could be a top-12 fantasy quarterback on a per-game basis for as long as he's the starter.
Baker Mayfield	223.1	136.1	1551	8.9	5.8	13.9	58.4	0.4	1	92.28
Unless you're in a 2-QB league, Mayfield is not on the re-draft radar. Whenever he becomes the starter, which seems likely to occur at some point this season (post-bye based on my projections), he will become worth a look as a streaming option.

Running Backs

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Nick Chubb	160.4	705.8	5.6	10	75	0.2	0.7	111.48
Going into the draft, most expected the Browns to take a Chubb. While they passed on one Chubb (cousin Bradley at No. 4), the Browns selected another (Nick) with the first pick of Round 2. Even though they signed Carlos Hyde to a three-year deal, Chubb could still lead the team in carries. ESPN's Pat McManamon writes: "It would not be surprising to see Chubb get the bulk of the every-down carries."
Carlos Hyde	115.1	483.4	4	31.3	190.9	0.8	0.8	94.63
Playing a full 16-game slate for the first time in his four NFL seasons, Hyde set career highs in yards from scrimmage (1,288) and receptions (59) but a career low in yards per carry (3.9). Signing a free-agent deal with the Browns, Hyde may not even lead the backfield in touches with the team investing a top-33 pick in Chubb.
Duke Johnson	53.6	233.2	1.6	52.2	495.9	2.1	1.4	92.31
Through three NFL seasons, Johnson has exceeded 50 receptions and 500 receiving yards every year and he set career highs last season with 74/693/3 receiving. With both Carlos Hyde and Nick Chubb replacing the free-agency loss of Isaiah Crowell, Johnson may get even fewer carries. Meanwhile, the addition of slot receiver Jarvis Landry could lead to fewer targets and receptions for the former Hurricane.

Wide Receivers

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Josh Gordon	60.1	1027.7	6.3	0	0	0	0.2	140.17
Since leading the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards in 2013, Gordon has played a total of 10 games -- five in 2014 and five in 2017 -- due to suspension. Gordon has the upside for a top-10 season if he's able to stay on the field for a full season, but his risks are obvious. Currently away from the team, reports are that Gordon did not fail another drug test and the belief is that he won't be away from the team for an extended period.
Jarvis Landry	97.5	984.8	5.1	1.6	7.2	0	2	126.4
The Browns traded for Landry and then signed him to an extension through the 2023 season. Leading the NFL last season with a career-high 112 receptions, Landry finished the season with 987 yards and nine touchdowns (also a career high).
Antonio Callaway	29.4	385.1	2.8	0	0	0	0.2	54.91
Selected in the fourth round, Callaway should have been selected higher based on talent and lower based on off-field issues. Expected to push Corey Coleman for snaps in three-wide sets, the rookie "tore up the defensive backs in 1-on-1 drills" early in training camp. Given the uncertainty with Gordon and potential the Browns move Coleman, Callaway has a ton of upside as a late-round sleeper in deep formats.
Corey Coleman	20.2	264.6	1.8	0.8	4	0	0.1	37.46
A top-15 pick in 2016, Coleman has underwhelmed in two injury-plagued seasons -- 33/413/3 in 2016 and 23/305/2 in 2017 -- over a total of 19 games played. It wouldn't be a shock if Coleman is dealt before the season starts.

2018 Fantasy Football Projections: Cleveland Browns

Quarterbacks

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Tyrod Taylor	343.2	214.5	2523	14.8	4.1	53.6	300.2	3.2	1.5	198.14
Taylor will be the Week 1 starter, but will Taylor also be the starter in Week 17? The Browns should be better (then again, they can't be much worse), but those incremental gains are unlikely to keep No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield off the field for the entire season. Based on my projections, I have Taylor slated to start until the team's bye. Due to his rushing production and upgrade in receiving corps, Taylor could be a top-12 fantasy quarterback on a per-game basis for as long as he's the starter.
Baker Mayfield	223.1	136.1	1539	8.7	5.8	13.9	58.4	0.4	1	91
Unless you're in a 2-QB league, Mayfield is not on the re-draft radar. Whenever he becomes the starter, which seems likely to occur at some point this season, he would be worth a look as a streaming option.

Running Backs

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Nick Chubb	160.8	707.5	5.6	9.7	72.8	0.1	0.7	110.83
Going into the draft, most expected the Browns to take a Chubb. While they passed on one Chubb (cousin Bradley at No. 4), the Browns selected another (Nick) with the first pick of Round 2. Even though they signed Carlos Hyde to a three-year deal, Chubb could still lead the team in carries. ESPN's Pat McManamon writes: "It would not be surprising to see Chubb get the bulk of the every-down carries."
Duke Johnson	53.6	233.2	1.6	54.9	521.6	2.2	1.4	95.48
Through three NFL seasons, Johnson has exceeded 50 receptions and 500 receiving yards every year and he set career highs last season with 74/693/3 receiving. With both Carlos Hyde and Nick Chubb replacing the free-agency loss of Isaiah Crowell, Johnson may get even fewer carries. Meanwhile, the addition of slot receiver Jarvis Landry could lead to fewer targets and receptions for the former Hurricane.
Carlos Hyde	113.1	475	4	31.7	193.4	0.8	0.8	94.04
Playing a full 16-game slate for the first time in his four NFL seasons, Hyde set career highs in yards from scrimmage (1,288) and receptions (59) but a career low in yards per carry (3.9). Signing a free-agent deal with the Browns, Hyde may not even lead the backfield in touches with the team investing a top-33 pick in Chubb.

Wide Receivers

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Josh Gordon	64.9	1109.8	5.8	0	0	0	0.2	145.38
Since leading the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards in 2013, Gordon has played a total of 10 games -- five in 2014 and five in 2017 -- due to suspension. Gordon has the upside for a top-10 season if he's able to stay on the field for a full season, but his risks are obvious.
Jarvis Landry	95.4	958.8	5	1.6	7.2	0	2	123.2
The Browns traded for Landry and then signed him to an extension through the 2023 season. Leading the NFL last season with a career-high 112 receptions, Landry finished the season with 987 yards and nine touchdowns (also a career high).
Antonio Callaway	24.2	314.6	2.1	0	0	0	0.2	43.66
Selected in the fourth round, Callaway should have been selected higher based on talent and lower based on off-field issues, but he's expected to push Corey Coleman for snaps in three-wide sets.
Corey Coleman	18.5	242.4	1.7	0.8	4	0	0.1	34.64
A top-15 pick in 2016, Coleman has underwhelmed in two injury-plagued seasons -- 33/413/3 in 2016 and 23/305/2 in 2017 -- over a total of 19 games played. It wouldn't be a shock if Coleman is dealt before the season starts.
Rashard Higgins	9.4	110.9	0.7	0	0	0	0.1	15.09
Jeff Janis	2.6	44.2	0.3	0	0	0	0	6.22

David Njoku	41.5	514.6	4.8	0	0	0	0.1	80.06
Playing less than half of the team's offensive snaps as a rookie, Njoku posted a 32/386/4 stat line in 2017. Coach Hue Jackson says that he expects a big jump from Njoku in Year 2.
Seth Devalve	8.8	106.5	0.6	0	0	0	0.1	14.05

Hue Jackson has confirmed that Taylor will be the Week 1 starter, but will Taylor also be the starter in Week 17?

Duke Johnson	65.5	284.9	2	54.9	521.6	2.2	1.4	103.05
Through three NFL seasons, Johnson has exceeded 50 receptions and 500 receiving yards every year and he set career highs last season with 74/693/3 receiving.
