QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Jalen Hurts	495.2	321.9	3837.8	22.78	7.43	148.1	725.7	9.26	357.9
Marcus Mariota	34.4	21.5	252.8	1.51	0.89	12.1	60.5	0.48	23.3

Jalen Hurts: Hurts set career bests in passing — 66.5% completion, 8.0 Y/A, 4.8 TD%, 1.2 INT%, and 101.5 passer rating — in 2022. Despite his improvement as a passer, aided by the trade for A.J. Brown last offseason, it's especially the rushing production that makes him an elite fantasy quarterback. Over the past two seasons (30 games), the former Oklahoma (and Alabama) quarterback has rushed 304 times for 1,544 yards and 23 touchdowns. That's an equivalent to 9.75 fantasy points per game (from his rushing stats alone).

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
D'Andre Swift	126.6	582.4	5.38	37.1	286.3	1.5	146.7
Rashaad Penny	150.8	731.4	5.81	6.9	55.2	0.2	118.17
Kenneth Gainwell	78.1	343.6	3.12	20.3	149.3	0.8	82.96
Boston Scott	22.9	97.3	0.92	7.4	55.2	0.3	26.27

D'Andre Swift: There's a good chance that Swift leads Philadelphia's backfield in fantasy production, as long as he stays healthy, but he has missed a minimum of three games every season in his young career. Swift is one of the league's best receiving backs with an average of 3.9 receptions per game in his career. While he'll benefit from playing in a high-powered offense and behind an elite offense line, a drop in target share is likely with Jalen Hurts (165 carries in 2022) under center. Only Chicago's running backs had fewer receptions than Philadelphia's last season.

Rashaad Penny: Through five NFL seasons, Penny has missed nearly as many games (40) as he has played (42). When healthy, however, he has averaged 5.7 yards per carry over his career and an even-better 6.2 YPC over the past two seasons (176/1095/8). Aside from durability concerns, Penny hasn't been a factor in the passing game — 36 career targets in 42 games.

Kenneth Gainwell: The Eagles will employ a committee approach to their backfield, and it's even possible that Gainwell will lead the backfield in fantasy production without factoring in health. Given the durability history of Swift and Penny, however, there is the potential that Gainwell gets even more work than anticipated.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
A.J. Brown	78.1	1159.7	7.1	197.62
DeVonta Smith	82.4	1041.1	6.5	184.31
Quez Watkins	25.6	341.6	1.9	58.36
Olamide Zaccheaus	9.8	126.8	0.8	22.38

A.J. Brown: Brown shattered previous career highs in targets (145), receptions (88) and yards (1,496) last season and tied his career high in touchdowns (11) in his first season in Philadelphia. Even if he doesn't repeat as a top-five fantasy wide receiver, he's the 1A in this offense to Devonta Smith's 1B, and should be drafted as a top-10 receiver in 2023.

DeVonta Smith: Smith followed up a strong 2021 rookie season (64/916/5) with an even better sophomore campaign (95/1,196/7) despite the addition of A.J. Brown to the receiving corps. Brown was fantasy's WR5 (half-PPR scoring) in 2022, but Smith was also a top-10 performer last season.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Dallas Goedert	61.1	705.6	4.1	125.71
Jack Stoll	6.7	75.7	0.4	13.32
Grant Calcaterra	4.5	55.2	0.3	9.57
Albert Okwuegbunam	3.6	38.9	0.2	6.89

Dallas Goedert: Goedert missed five games last season, but he still finished with 55 catches for 702 yards and three touchdowns. Despite the addition of A.J. Brown, Goedert's 58.5 YPG average was a career high and he had 60-plus yards in eight of 12 games. In addition, he had a minimum of three catches in all but one game last season.

Seattle Seahawks Fantasy Football Projections 2022

Our 2022 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2022 fantasy football projections for the Seattle Seahawks.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Geno Smith	359.7	230.2	2589.8	15.11	7.73	31.3	137.7	1.57	171.76
Drew Lock	193.7	118.2	1385	7.94	4.55	16.7	70.1	0.84	90.11

Geno Smith: With Russell Wilson now in Denver, it will be Geno Smith that opens the season as the starter against Wilson and the Broncos in Week 1. That said, it's highly likely that both Smith and Drew Lock make starts throughout the season. In two seasons with the Seahawks, Smith has completed 69-of-100 pass attempts for 735 yards (7.35 Y/A), five touchdowns and one interception.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Rashaad Penny	170.5	792.8	5.97	29.3	240.5	1.2	161
Kenneth Walker III	156.3	687.7	4.85	12	87.4	0.5	115.61
DeeJay Dallas	18.8	78	0.56	19.2	149.1	0.7	39.87
Travis Homer	15.4	67.8	0.35	9.9	71.5	0.3	22.78

Rashaad Penny: Penny was a surprise first-round pick in 2018. Partly due to his durability issues, the former San Diego State Aztec has only 280 rush attempts over four seasons. Despite the limited workload, Penny has been productive and efficient with 1,580 rushing yards (5.6 YPC) and 11 touchdowns on those 280 carries. Fantasy managers got a glimpse of how productive a healthy Penny can be down the stretch last season. Over the final five weeks of 2021, Penny posted a 92/671/6 (7.3 YPC) rushing line and led all running backs in fantasy points (half-PPR) per game (21.54). In addition, Penny has eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark in six of seven career games with at least 12 carries.

Kenneth Walker III: Walker has enormous upside ... but probably not until 2023. The former Spartan (and Demon Deacon) has been used sparingly in college as a receiver, but he's arguably the best pure rusher in the 2022 draft class given his powerful compact frame, contact balance and ability to break tackles. Walker would be catapulted into heavy workloads if Penny is unable to stay healthy.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
D.K. Metcalf	73.7	1003.6	6	1	5.7	0.05	174.08
Tyler Lockett	71.8	898.3	5.3	1.9	12.4	0.11	159.43
Dee Eskridge	30.7	361.7	2.2	4.2	31.5	0.21	69.13
Marquise Goodwin	9.6	127.2	0.7	0.8	4.2	0.04	22.38
Dareke Young	7.3	99.4	0.6	0	0	0	17.19
Penny Hart	3.1	39.7	0.2	0	0	0	6.72

D.K. Metcalf: The obvious concern with Metcalf (and the passing game overall) is that Russell Wilson is now in Denver. Still only 24 years old, the physically-imposing wideout enters his fourth season with three consecutive 900-yard campaigns. While his yards per reception (12.9) and yards per target (7.5) were both career lows, he set a career high with 12 touchdowns and has now scored double-digit touchdowns in back-to-back seasons.

Tyler Lockett: Including his rushing yardage, Lockett has exceeded the 1,000-yard mark and scored at least eight touchdowns in four consecutive seasons. Given the team's run-first philosophy, there has been some up-and-down weekly output from Lockett despite his full-season consistency even with Russell Wilson under center. Add in the QB downgrade(s) with Geno Smith (and Drew Lock), it's likely that we see more week-to-week volatility from Lockett.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Noah Fant	50.7	564.4	3.3	101.59
Will Dissly	22.5	242.5	1.4	43.9
Colby Parkinson	8.7	89.4	0.5	16.29

Noah Fant: Fant's 2021 numbers (68/670/4) were nearly identical to his 2020 production (62/673/3). While Drew Lock moves to Seattle with him, Fant will be no better than third in line for targets behind D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Drew Lock	265.6	162	1899	10.89	6.24	23.3	97.9	1.17	123.85

Geno Smith: After trading away Russell Wilson, who will be Seattle's starter in 2022: Drew Lock or Geno Smith? Given his familiarity with the organization and coaching staff and that he's been handling the majority of first-team reps, Smith is the favorite to enter the season as the starter. That said, it's highly likely that both quarterbacks make starts throughout the season.

Fantasy Football Projections 2021: Seattle Seahawks

Our 2021 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2021 fantasy football projections for the Seattle Seahawks.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Russell Wilson	563.1	377.3	4335.9	37.73	11.83	77.7	419.6	2.02	354.78
Geno Smith	29.6	18.4	201.3	1.07	0.95	3.3	8.3	0.03	11.44

Russell Wilson: It was a tale of two seasons for Wilson. In his first eight games, Wilson averaged 29.52 fantasy points per game and scored no fewer than 21.9. In his final eight games, he averaged only 17.08 and scored more than 21.9 only once during that span.

Despite Pete Carroll's prioritization to establish the run, Wilson has never finished worse than the QB11 (2016) and has finished as a top-six fantasy quarterback in five of the past seven seasons.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Chris Carson	217.4	978.3	6.41	46.5	367.5	3.3	216.09
Rashaad Penny	86.5	384.9	2.6	22.8	190.6	1.8	95.35
DeeJay Dallas	35.5	138.5	0.98	17.2	129.3	1.2	48.46

Nick Bellore	1.1	2.8	0.02	1	6.8	0.1	2.18

Chris Carson: Few teams want to "establish the run" more than the Seahawks so returning to Seattle on a two-year deal was Carson's ideal landing spot. Even though the Seahawks let Russell Wilson "cook" in the first half of the year, Carson still performed as a weekly fantasy RB13 or better in four of the team's five games before their Week 6 bye. In fact, he was a top-five performer during that span. Coming out of the bye, Carson sustained a foot injury in Week 7 that kept him out of several games and Carson's physical running style lends itself to a greater propensity to get banged up.

Rashaad Penny: A surprise first-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, Penny has failed to live up to his draft pedigree. On relatively limited touches, however, Penny has been efficient -- 5.1 YPC and 9.3 Y/R -- and Carson's violent running style could lead to a missed game (or several). While it's become a cliche, Penny enters 2021 in the best shape of his life.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
D.K. Metcalf	90	1288.6	10.2	0	0	0	235.06
Tyler Lockett	84.1	1002.7	8.4	3.3	17.3	0.1	195.05
D'Wayne Eskridge	29.7	397	3.3	0	0	0	74.35
Freddie Swain	12.9	158.8	1.3	0	0	0	30.13
Penny Hart	4.9	63.5	0.5	0	0	0	11.8

D.K. Metcalf: The sky is the limit for Metcalf, who is coming off a breakout sophomore campaign (83/1,303/10). Through Week 9, Russell Wilson and the Seahawks passing offense were unstoppable and Metcalf had more than 90 yards in seven of his first eight games. Through Week 9, only Tyreek Hill had scored more fantasy points than Metcalf.

The only concern for Metcalf (and Wilson) is the Seahawks' commitment to the run. Over the final eight regular-season games, Metcalf exceeded 61 yards in only two games. As great as Metcalf was in the first half of the season, he was tied with (now WFT receiver) Curtis Samuel as the WR25 from Weeks 10-17.

Tyler Lockett: The full-season numbers (100/1,054/10, WR9 in half-PPR) look great and Lockett now has back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns and three consecutive seasons with at least eight touchdowns. That said, there were three spike games (9/100/3, 15/200/3 and 12/90/2) and mostly modest performances the rest of the season. From Weeks 4 to 16, Lockett finished as fantasy's weekly WR45 (or worse) in nine of 12 games. Given Seattle's run-first tendency, there is week-to-week volatility with the team's top pass-catchers.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Gerald Everett	45.1	503.6	4.6	100.51
Will Dissly	29.7	322.1	3.2	66.26
Colby Parkinson	5.9	61.3	0.6	12.68

Gerald Everett: Even though he was under-utilized in L.A., Everett posted career highs in targets (62), receptions (41) and yards (417) in 2020. Now in Seattle, Everett should be the 1(a) to Will Dissly's 1(b), but it's possible that the volume in a run-heavy offense with a talented wide receiver duo of D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett doesn't translate to a significant bump in targets for the athletic tight end.

Will Dissly: Dissly was highly productive through his first two seasons when he was on the field, but he missed 22 combined games over that stretch. Playing a full 16-game season in 2020, Dissly set career lows in Y/R (10.5), Y/T (8.7) and YPG (15.7) and the addition of Gerald Everett keeps him off the fantasy radar outside of the deepest leagues.

Chris Carson: Few teams want to "establish the run" more than the Seahawks so returning to Seattle on a two-year deal was Carson's ideal landing spot. Even though the Seahawks let Russell Wilson "cook" in the first half of the year, Carson performed as a weekly fantasy RB13 or better in four of the team's five games before their Week 6 bye. In fact, he was a top-five performer from Weeks 1 to 5. Coming out of the bye, Carson sustained a foot injury in Week 7 that kept him out of several games. Carson's physical running style lends itself to a greater propensity to get banged up, but he will likely be undervalued in fantasy drafts this summer.

Gerald Everett: Even though he was under-utilized in L.A., Everett posted career highs in targets (62), receptions (41) and yards (417) in 2020. Now in Seattle, Everett should be the 1(a) to Will Dissly's 1(b), but the volume in a run-heavy offense with a talented wide receiver duo of D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett means there may not be a significant bump in targets for the athletic tight end.

Seattle Seahawks Fantasy Football Projections 2020

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.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Russell Wilson	501.1	328.2	3883.5	29.06	7.77	77.9	409	1.75	307.44
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. If the Seahawks sign suspended free-agent receiver Antonio Brown (and Peter King currently refers to the Seahawks as favorites to sign Brown), it could make Wilson even more "DangeRuss" down the stretch and into the fantasy playoffs.
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	33.7	251.1	1.52	184.12
Carson (hip) is expected to be ready for Week 1. Playing 15 games last season, Carson handled a career-high 315 touches for 1,496 yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns.
Rashaad Penny	54.3	252.5	1.63	14	123.2	0.49	50.29
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, there is a decent chance that Penny begins 2020 on the PUP list and the team has signed Carlos Hyde as insurance. As Hyde said when he signed, however, "everybody knows" that Carson is the starter.
Carlos Hyde	63.7	258	1.75	10.8	67.5	0.27	44.67
Coming off his first 1,000-yard rushing campaign, Hyde has signed with the Seahawks and provides depth with Penny likely to start the season on the PUP list. Depending on the status of Carson (hip), Hyde may have an opportunity for a large role in the first week or two of the season if Carson isn't ready to go.
DeeJay Dallas	13	55.3	0.29	14.7	109.5	0.48	21.1
Nick Bellore	0	0	0	2.3	18.1	0.23	3.19

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
David Moore	14.8	230.9	1.85	1.2	8.7	0.02	35.18
John Ursua	6.4	69.4	0.38	0	0	0	9.22
Freddie Swain	3.7	42.4	0.28	0	0	0	5.92

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 upside fringe TE1 upside in his age-35 season.
Jacob Hollister	6.7	63	0.47	0	0	0	9.12
Colby Parkinson	4.1	42	0.31	0	0	0	6.06

Seattle Seahawks 2019 Fantasy Football Projections

In addition to viewing our 2019 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2019 fantasy football projections for the Seattle Seahawks.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Russell Wilson	461.2	295.2	3643.5	29.52	8.53	67.6	371.8	2.03	296.12
Not only were Wilson's pass attempts (427) a five-year low, but his rushing attempts (67) were a career low and he failed to rush for a touchdown for the first time in his career. Even so, Wilson finished the season as fantasy's QB9. Before 2018, Wilson ended the year as a top-three QB in three of four seasons and he has finished as a top-12 quarterback every year of his career. Even though Wilson ranked 20th in pass attempts, only Patrick Mahomes and Andrew Luck threw more touchdowns than Wilson (35). While his career-best 8.2 TD% was more than two full percentage points above his career average (6.0 TD%), Wilson has thrown at least 34 touchdowns in three of the past four seasons.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Chris Carson	227.9	1002.8	7.41	24.6	200.5	0.49	167.73
Dominating running back touches over first-round rookie Rashaad Penny, Carson toted the rock 247 times for 1,151 yards and nine touchdowns and added 20 catches for 163 more over 14 games. The disparity in workload between Carson (267 touches, 73.96%) and Penny (94, 26.04%) won't be as large as it was last year, but I'd expect Carson to still get the larger share of the workload in one of the league's most run-heavy attacks.
Rashaad Penny	171.6	789.4	4.72	20.8	170.6	0.42	126.84
In better shape than last year, Penny was on the short end of last year's 74-26 split in workload with Carson, but that margin should narrow in 2019. Earlier this year, coach Pete Carroll said of the Carson-Penny duo that "I don't know who's one and who's two, it doesn't matter to me." Given his first-round pedigree, Penny has enormous upside in Seattle's run-first attack even if he enters the season as Carson's backup.
J.D. McKissic	10	39	0.2	17.9	139.6	0.94	24.7
Travis Homer	11.3	47.5	0.23	1.7	14.5	0.03	7.76

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Tyler Lockett	72.4	1017.2	6.7	11.3	59.3	0.34	149.89
Despite a consistent level of targets -- 66 to 71 -- in all four of his seasons, Lockett posted career highs in receptions (57), yards (965) and touchdowns (10) as he shattered previous career highs in catch rate (81.4%), yards per reception (16.9) and yards per game (60.3). While those ratios may regress closer to the mean, Lockett's target volume is all but assured to increase at the same time given Doug Baldwin's retirement.
David Moore	38.7	561.2	4.64	1.3	6.5	0.01	84.67
When given the opportunity, Moore was highly effective -- 17.1 Y/R and a TD per every 5.2 receptions last year. The expected bump in volume gives Moore some upside and makes him a decent late-round sleeper to target.
D.K. Metcalf	30.6	477.4	4.13	2.5	15	0.03	74.2
A size-speed freak (6-3, 228, 4.33 forty, 40.5-inch vertical), Metcalf's field-stretching abilities are a good fit with Russell Wilson, who said during minicamp that Metcalf was "looking really, really special." In addition, Wilson praised Metcalf's "knowledge of the game" as the first thing that stands out with the rookie receiver. In Seattle's low-volume passing attack, Metcalf is a better target in best-ball formats than he is season-long leagues.
Gary Jennings	22.7	249.7	1.14	0	0	0	31.81
Jaron Brown	11.8	144	1.42	0	0	0	22.92
John Ursua	6	70.8	0.42	0	0	0	9.6

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Will Dissly	24.9	259	2.49	0	0	0	40.84
Dissly had a monster first week (3/105/1), but the rookie tore his patellar tendon in Week 4. There is "no doubt" that he will be ready for the start of the regular season, but it's unlikely that he provides consistent fantasy-relevant production in 2019.
Nick Vannett	18.2	174.7	1.46	0	0	0	26.23
Ed Dickson	15.7	175.8	1.18	0	0	0	24.66
