The Seahawks recorded three sacks and a safety in the 42-29 loss to the Lions in Week 4.
Analysis: The Lions are clearly the best team the Seahawks have faced this year, but they should get an excellent chance to bounce back in Week 5 versus the Giants. The Seahawks have excellent upside with 14 sacks (fourth) through four games. Meanwhile, Giants QB Daniel Jones has been sacked nine times while leading the team to just 15.0 points per game (29th). This provides massive upside for Seahawks D/ST, making them an elite option this week.

The Seahawks recorded six sacks in the 20-3 win over the Dolphins in Week 3.
Analysis: The Seahawks faced QBs Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle, taking advantage of the highly favorable matchup. They're now tied for fifth with 11 sacks through three games, and they have allowed just 14.3 points per game (fourth). Their numbers are excellent, but their first three opponents -- Denver, New England and Miami -- can't hold a candle to their Week 4 opponent -- Detroit on the road. While the Lions have scored just 20.7 points per game, they haven't provided much fantasy upside to opposing…read more

The Seahawks recorded three sacks in the 23-20 overtime win versus the Patriots in Week 2.
Analysis: The Seahawks have allowed the second-fewest passing yards and the 12th-fewest points allowed through two games, but the matchups against Denver and New England weren't particularly threatening. The Week 3 matchup versus the Dolphins should be favorable too, as QB Tua Tagovailoa will be out, meaning QB Skylar Thompson -- who has a career 5.2 YPA and 1:3 TD:INT ratio -- will get the start. This is another smash spot for Seahawks D/ST.

The Seahawks recorded two sacks, two interceptions and a fumble recovery in the 26-20 win over the Broncos in Week 1.
Analysis: The matchup was favorable against rookie QB Bo Nix, and the Seahawks delivered. They draw another favorable matchup against the Patriots, who threw the ball just 24 times in a 16-10 win over the Bengals. The Patriots' commitment to the run should lead to low-scoring affairs, especially because it's not clear the Patriots have any firepower at receiver anyway. Thus, the Seahawks D/ST should have a high floor in this outing even if the path to upside is unclear.

LB Uchenna Nwosu (knee) won't play in the Week 1 matchup versus the Broncos.
Analysis: Nwosu is two years removed from posting 9.5 sacks in a season, but he has struggled with injuries since then. The team has plenty of depth at pass-rusher, however, and that will be vital to making Broncos rookie QB Bo Nix uncomfortable in his first career start. Nix lacks offensive weapons after WR Courtland Sutton and RB Javonte Williams, providing a solid floor for Seahawks D/ST in addition to a massive ceiling.

The Seahawks drafted DT Byron Murphy in the first round and re-signed DE Leonard Williams in March.
Analysis: Williams posted 4.0 sacks over 10 games with the Seahawks last year. The Seahawks are quite deep as pass-rushers with Williams, Dre'Mont Jones, Uchenna Nwosu, Boye Mafe and Darrell Taylor. They're also hoping to watch CB Devon Witherspoon take the next step after posting 3.0 sacks, 16 pass breakups and a pick-six last year. There's a ton of potential, but realizing that potential is still a question mark. After all, it had similar talent last year but still ranked 25th in points allowed per…read more

The Seahawks recorded a sack and no takeaways in the 30-23 loss to the Steelers in Week 17.
Analysis: The Seahawks' pass rush has been volatile this season, and this game probably has a lower ceiling than most because QB Kyler Murray has been sacked just 17 times in seven starts. The Cardinals have looked solid with Murray under center, averaging 22.7 points per game and coughing up just six turnovers. Considering the Seahawks haven't shown much upside this year anyway, they're best fit for deeper formats, but fantasy managers can probably find a better option in Week 18 championships.

The Seahawks recorded six sacks and no takeaways in the 20-17 win over the Titans in Week 16.
Analysis: The Seahawks have looked quite good in back-to-back games, and they draw another favorable matchup in Week 17 against the Steelers. Last week, the Steelers scored 34 points with QB Mason Rudolph under center, which was their first time scoring more than 18 points in a game since Week 10. Now, Kenny Pickett (ankle) may return, and the offense may actually step back to its old ways as a result. In turn, the Seahawks D/ST should have a solid floor this week, but it may be worth fading in DFS…read more

The Seahawks recorded two interceptions and no sacks in the 20-17 win over the Eagles in Week 15.
Analysis: The Seahawks contained QB Jalen Hurts and the fierce Eagles offense, and they're in a good position to keep rolling in Week 16 against the Titans. It's unclear if QB Will Levis will be able to play through his ankle sprain. Regardless, The Titans haven't moved the ball well with Levis or Ryan Tannehill, as they've ranked 18.4 points per game (27th) while giving up 18 turnovers (15th). RB Derrick Henry has lost a step, but he could still cause trouble for the Seahawks' struggling run defense…read more

The Seahawks recorded three sacks and two takeaways in the 28-16 loss to the 49ers in Week 14.
Analysis: This was actually a decent showing by the Seahawks against one of the league's premier offenses, although it did allow QB Brock Purdy to throw for 368 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. The Seahawks may be without rookie CB Devon Witherspoon (hip) in Week 15 against the Eagles, but we may not know until gametime. This matchup isn't favorable regardless, as the Eagles have scored 26.3 points per game (sixth) and outmatch the Seahawks on the ground and through the air. However, matchups…read more

The Seahawks recorded four sacks and no takeaways in the 41-35 loss to the Cowboys in Week 13.
Analysis: This was a tough showing by the Seahawks defense, but it's worth noting that the Cowboys lead the league in points per game. Now, they'll face a similarly tough matchup against the 49ers, who rank third with 29.3 points per game. In their previous matchup two weeks ago, the Seahawks allowed 31 points but salvaged their fantasy day with a pick-six and a sack. We can't count on a pick-six every time, however, so Seahawks D/ST should be considered off-limits in most fantasy formats.

The Seahawks recorded a sack and a pick-six in the 31-13 loss to the 49ers in Week 12.
Analysis: The Seahawks have been vulnerable on the ground and through the air this season, resulting in 22.6 points allowed per game (22nd). They've still provided modest fantasy returns with 15 takeaways (16th) and 32 sacks (11th), but it's worth noting that 11 of those sacks came in one game against the Giants. Regardless, their upside certainly isn't dependable enough to trust against the high-flying Cowboys, who lead the league with 31.5 points per game while turning the ball over just 10 times…read more

Still, this unit has given up 22.3 points per game (22nd) while forcing a middling 13 turnovers (15th). They'll head on the road in Week 11 to face the Rams, who hung 30 points on them in Week 1 and will get QB Matthew Stafford back from a one-week absence.

The Seahawks recorded two fumble recoveries and a sack in the 37-3 loss to the Ravens in Week 9.
Analysis: The run defense is the biggest weakness in Seattle's offense, and it was never clearer than against the Ravens, who ran for 290 yards and three touchdowns. The Seahawks have an excellent opportunity to bounce back in Week 10. The Commanders have recorded a respectable 21.3 points per game (18th), but they have been a boon for opposing defenses with 14 giveaways (21st) while QB Sam Howell has been sacked a league-high 44 times. the Seahawks have 27 sacks (eighth) and can certainly take…read more

Analysis: The Seahawks' pass rush looks legit with 23 sacks through six games (fifth), even if 11 of those sacks were against the Giants. Now, they'll add DE Frank Clark, who is on the tail end of his career but can still get to the passer. They draw an excellent matchup versus QB P.J. Walker and the Browns in Week 8. Walker has a 50.0 completion percentage, 5.6 YPA and a 0:3 TD:INT ratio through two games (one start) this season. This is an excellent opportunity for Seahawks D/ST.

The matchup against the Cardinals has plenty of fantasy utility, as QB Kyler Murray (knee) sounds like he won't be ready quite yet. The Cardinals have recorded 19.5 points per game (20th).

Analysis: The Seahawks pass rush was off to a somewhat slow start with just five sacks through the first three games, but they blasted off against QB Daniel Jones and a weak Giants offensive line. This unit has a solid opportunity against QB Joe Burrow, who has been sacked 11 times.

The Seahawks recorded three takeaways and two sacks in the 37-31 overtime win versus the Lions in Week 2.
Analysis: The Seahawks bounced back well after a pitiful opener, but they still gave up 30-plus points for the second straight week. They're set up better in Week 3 versus rookie QB Bryce Young and his lack of surrounding weapons, although it's concerning that CB Riq Woolen (chest) is ailing. Still, the Seahawks have a deep secondary that will match up well even if Woolen doesn't play, and there's significant upside lining up against the rookie. Consider Seahawks D/ST a top-10 option in Week 3.

The Seahawks didn't record a sack or a takeaway in the 30-13 loss to the Rams in Week 1.
Analysis: The Rams didn't have WR Cooper Kupp, but QB Matthew Stafford threw for 334 yards anyway, mainly on the backs of WRs Tutu Atwell and Puka Nacua. The Seahawks need to improve their pass rush immediately, but it will help to have first-round CB Devon Witherspoon in the lineup to shore up the secondary. Fantasy managers can't afford to risk it this week, however, as the Seahawks face the Lions -- who were fifth scoring offense in the league last year -- on the road in Week 2.

CB Devon Witherspoon (hamstring) and S Jamal Adams (quadriceps) are uncertain for Week 1 versus the Rams.
Analysis: Both players are trending in the wrong direction. However, this unit is still set up well for the season opener even if both players miss out. The Rams' offensive line isn't expected to be very good, and top WR Cooper Kupp just had a setback to his hamstring injury, putting his Week 1 status in doubt again. QB Matthew Stafford doesn't have many dependable options after Kupp, so Seahawks D/ST has massive upside and should have a decent floor in the opener.

He's competing to start opposite Tariq Woolen, who has missed the start of camp with a knee injury but should be fine for Week 1.

The Seahawks selected CB Devon Witherspoon fifth overall in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Analysis: The Seahawks also added second-round LB Derick Hall, which is the third time in four years that they used a second-round pick on a pass rusher. This pass rush certainly has potential, especially after Darrell Taylor and Uchenna Nwosu both put up 9.5 sacks last season. If Hall and Boye Mafe can contribute, too, it wouldn't be surprising if this team lands top-10 in sacks by the end of the year.

They'll have their hands full in the wild-card round, however, as the 49ers are healthy and loaded on offense now that Deebo Samuel (knee) has a full week of practice and a game under his belt.

The Rams have succeeded on the ground of late, so there could be more holes for them now that Brooks is out. Still, this is an excellent opportunity, as the Rams have scored fewer than 18 points in three of four games with QB Baker Mayfield under center, and his passing weapons remain slim.

They're particularly vulnerable against the run game, so 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey will be an issue in Week 15.

The Seahawks recorded a sack, a fumble recovery and a pick-six in the 48-45 loss to the Lions in Week 4.
Analysis: Rookie CB Tariq Woolen stole the show with a 40-yard pick-six in the third quarter; the youngster is turning into a sensation before our eyes. The Seahawks have recorded just seven sacks through four games, but their six takeaways ranks 12th in the league. The Week 5 matchup against the Saints is intriguing whether QB Jameis Winston (back) or Andy Dalton starts. Saints quarterbacks have been sacked 13 times this year -- the seventh-highest number in the league. However, trusting the Seahawks…read more

The Seahawks posted three sacks and two takeaways in the 27-23 loss to the Falcons in Week 3.
Analysis: The Seahawks have given up an average of 23.3 points per game this season (20th), and they have forced four takeaways. Their Week 4 matchup against the Lions should be difficult considering they rank second in the league with 31.7 points per game. However, RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder) could miss this game, and star WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) may not be 100 percent. Those injuries aren't enough to feel confident in Seahawks D/ST, but this unit could have DFS appeal if Swift indeed sits out.

The Seahawks recorded a sack and no turnovers in the 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 2. They also returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown.
Analysis: The Seahawks won't be lucky enough to return a blocked kick for a touchdown every week, so they'll be a flaky fantasy defense this year, especially with S Jamal Adams (knee/quad) out of the picture. However, the Falcons have coughed up five turnovers this year. That provides plenty of upside for Seahawks D/ST, but it's worth noting that the Falcons have produced at least 26 points in each of their first two outings.

The Seahawks posted two takeaways and two sacks in the 17-16 win over the Broncos in Week 1.
Analysis: The Seahawks' inexperienced secondary held up against the highly touted Broncos offense, putting together an impressive fantasy performance in the process. It will be interesting to see if they can keep it up, and there is a decent opportunity if QB Trey Lance doesn't improve on last week's hiccup. However, Lance has WRs Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk at his disposal, and his dual-threat capabilities could be difficult to handle. Furthermore, S Jamal Adams (knee) will be out.

S Jamal Adams (finger) will be ready for Week 1 against the Broncos.
Analysis: The Seahawks are expected to use three safeties in their base formation, as Adams, Quandre Diggs and Josh Jones or Ryan Neal will start. This defense will rely on inexperience and youth at cornerback, so they could struggle against the pass like they did last year when they allowed 265.5 passing yards per game (31st). This isn't the Legion of Boom. Steer clear in fantasy outside of obviously favorable matchups.

S Jamal Adams suffered an broken finger during the first week of training camp, though he's not expected to be out long.
Analysis: It doesn't appear as though the injury will affect Adams' availability for Week 1, but it's still an ominous start to the campaign. CB Tre Brown (knee) is also on the PUP list to open camp. The Seahawks are in full rebuild following the departures of Russell Wilson on offense and Bobby Wagner on defense, and the D/ST is unlikely to be much of a factor in 2022.

The Seahawks ranked 28th in total defense (379.1 YPG) and parted ways with LB Bobby Wagner during the offseason.
Analysis: Seattle said goodbye to both Wagner and QB Russell Wilson, ushering in a new era for the franchise, and the immediate future lines up as a rebuild. New DC Ken Norton will have his work cut out for him, as the signing of DE Uchenna Nwosu was the only semi-major defensive addition, and he had only nine sacks last year for the Chargers. The Seahawks D/ST is unlikely to be on the fantasy radar much in 2022.

The Seahawks allowed 357 yards and 29 points during the Week 17 loss to the Lions and play the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: The Seattle D/ST had three takeaways and zero sacks, but any serious fantasy production was hampered by Detroit's 22 points in the second half. The Cardinals have averaged 17.7 points over the past three games, but QB Kyler Murray still provides a difficult matchup. The Seahawks D/ST had minimal production in the previous matchup with the Cards this season and is a poor option for Week 18.

Analysis: The Seattle D/ST had four sacks and a takeaway but were unable to slow down WR Cooper Kupp, who had 136 receiving yards and two scores.

The Seahawks allowed 380 yards and 13 points during the Week 14 win over the Texans and play the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: The Seattle D/ST ranks fifth in scoring defense this season (20.2 PPG), but the effort against Houston was largely unproductive with only two sacks and zero takeaways. The Seahawks D/ST ranks near the bottom of the league in takeaways and sacks, so it's a much better on-field defense than a fantasy unit. It's not worth fantasy consideration for Week 15 while going up one of the top offenses in the league at Los Angeles.

The Seahawks haven't given up more than 23 points since Week 5 against the Rams, and a matchup with the Texans should be a gold mine.

The 49ers have scored 30-plus points in three straight contests, as QB Jimmy Garoppolo has steered the ship well of late.

It's a step in the right direction heading into Week 8, with a favorable matchup on tap versus Jacksonville.

The Seahawks are allowing over 450 YPG overall and 25.2 PPG, and the loss of QB Russell Wilson (finger) figures to have a negative impact on the defense going forward.
