2024 Seattle Seahawks Team Outlook
WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba, SEA - Quality Backup
Buy the dip. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was one of the most hyped players last season but ended up finishing his rookie campaign outside of the top 60. However, there were some flashes, and JSN's usage down the stretch was encouraging. The Seahawks were forced to use a lot of 12 sets early on last season but starting in Week 7, Smith-Njigba averaged 10.2 fantasy points per game down the stretch. Tyler Lockett if on a three-year decline in most metrics, so we could see Smith-Njigba move into two wide sets. Fantasy managers who bought into the hype are likely to pass in 2024. JSN looks like a screaming late-round value. ADVICE: Rising talent who will outplay his ADP
WR Tyler Lockett, --- - Over the Hill (decreased production)
On a three-year slide in nearly every metric, Tyler Lockett's days as a reliable WR2 are behind him. Seattle ran the 10th-most plays out of two-tight-end formations last season and Lockett remained in during these plays. However, it is only a matter of time before Lockett is passed over for Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Seattle also will be introducing a new staff and has quarterback concerns. Lockett has been a trusty fantasy outlet option for many years but his days of posting consistent weekly production are limited. View the 32-year-old veteran as a WR4 with bye-week fill-in value. ADVICE: WR4 with some streaming value but should no longer be viewed as a starter
TE Noah Fant, NO - Sleeper (undervalued)
Last year, the Seahawks game three different tight ends between 23 and 33 snaps per game. This lackluster trio also accumulated a target share between four and eight percent. With Will Dissily and Colby Parkinson gone, the hope is that Noah Fant will command the majority of those snaps and targets. With Ryan Grubb taking over as Seattle's offensive coordinator, Fant could see some H-back snaps and be more involved as a downfield threat on play-action. Fants has good downfield skills and could potentially put up some nice value numbers as an inexpensive late-round flier. ADVICE: Very good late-round flier who is essentially free in most drafts
PK Jason Myers, SEA - Solid/Safe Pick
Myers finished a surprising third in fantasy points last season thanks to booting 35 out of his 42 field goals. Myers has now had two standout seasons in a row in Seattle, but a new offense and new regime will complicate his chances of a three-peat. Instead, view Myers as a solid fantasy option in an offense that has tended to settle for field goals over touchdowns.
Seattle - Not Draft Worthy
Seattle plummeted to 30th in defense last year mainly because they couldn't stop the run. They allowed 138.4 rushing yards per game which ranked 31st. The Seahawks were better from a fantasy perspective, racking up 47 sacks and 19 turnovers, but can't be depended on to rank in the top half of fantasy DST options in 2024.
