Seattle Seahawks Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (ankle, illness) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Teammate RB DeeJay Dallas (ankle) also didn't participate. We'll keep an eye on the 'Hawks duo in advance of Week 18 vs. the Rams. Hopefully tomorrow brings better news about their health.

Commanders HC Ron Rivera announced rookie QB Sam Howell as the Week 18 starter vs. Dallas. It’ll be the 5th-round pick’s first career start. Howell's a poor bet to perform as a useful QB2, but take note that he posted 828 rushing yards -- 69 per game -- in his final season at UNC.

Giants DL Leonard Williams left Sunday's win over the Colts with a neck injury. He missed time earlier this season with a neck issue. We'll keep an eye on this one to see his Week 18 status. Don't be surprised if he sits, though, with a playoff berth sewed up.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III rushed 23 times for 133 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. A 60-yard scamper played a big part in his 5.8-yard average, as Walker managed just 3.3 per tote on his other 22 attempts. But volume has often been on the rookie's side. This was his 2nd straight game with more than 20 carries and 5th since Week 6, when Walker took over for an injured Rashaad Penny. Walker and the Seahawks still need to win and get help to reach the playoffs. He'll face a Rams defense in Week 18 that has been tougher against the run than the pass overall. Those Rams allowed a big rushing day to Austin Ekeler in Week 17, though.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett injured his leg in the 1st half of Sunday's game vs. the Jets and is questionable to return. He was playing through a hand injury, catching both of his targets for 15 yards before exiting. We'll update Lockett's status when we know more.

Update:Lockett returned in the 2nd half.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (finger) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He’ll be playing with 10 screws and a plate in the left hand he broke 2 weeks ago. That -- plus the matchup against the Jets' top-ranked WR defense -- leaves Lockett as a risky Week 17 fantasy play.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. The rookie got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, which is more than he did last week. We’re expecting Walker to play his usual role in this one. RB Travis Homer (ankle) is inactive

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (hand) is expected to play vs. the Jets today. He'll do so with 10 screws and a plate in the left hand he broke 2 weeks ago. That -- plus the matchup against the Jets' top-ranked WR defense -- leaves Lockett as a risky Week 17 fantasy play.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (finger) practiced fully on Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Week 17 vs. the Jets. Teammate WR Marquise Goodwin (shoulder, wrist) is listed as doubtful. ESPN's Brady Henderson reports that Lockett is expected to play. The Jets' secondary presents the toughest matchup for opposing WRs in adjusted fantasy points allowed in 2022. That said, Lockett ranked 16th among WRs in targets through Week 15 prior to getting hurt. We consider Lockett a risk/reward WR3 considering the injury and matchup.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Week 17 vs. the Jets. The dynamic rookie practiced in a limited fashion on Thursday and Friday after opening the week sidelined. His teammates Travis Homer (ankle) and DeeJay Dallas (ankle) also logged limited practice on Friday. The Jets' defense ranks as the 10th-toughest matchup for RBs in adjusted fantasy points allowed. We consider Walker a mid-RB2 in Week 17. Neither Homer nor Dallas carries fantasy relevance if Walker suits up.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (ankle) participated in a limited fashion at Thursday's practice. After not practicing at all on Wednesday, this is certainly a good sign. Fellow RB DeeJay Dallas (ankle) also logged limited participation. RB Travis Homer (ankle) did not participate for the 2nd day in a row. Final word on these guys ahead of Week 17 vs. the Jets will come tomorrow.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (finger) returned to practice on Thursday and participated in a limited fashion. The veteran wideout has not played since breaking his finger in Week 15 vs. the 49ers. Teammate WR Marquise Goodwin (shoulder, wrist) did not practice for the 2nd day in a row. TE Noah Fant (knee) upgraded to full participation. Friday's report will give official designations for the trio in advance of Week 17 vs. the Jets. Check back tomorrow.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (ankle) did not log practice participation on Wednesday. The same goes for RB Travis Homer (ankle). Fortunately, RB DeeJay Dallas (ankle) managed to participate in a limited fashion. We'll keep an eye on the ankles of the whole Seahawks backfield ahead of Week 17 vs. the Jets.

Seahawks WRs Tyler Lockett (finger) and Marquise Goodwin (shoulder, wrist) did not practice on Wednesday. TE Noah Fant (knee) did not practice either. It's still early in the week though. We'll keep tabs on this trio of pass-catchers ahead of Week 17 vs. the Jets.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll was non-committal on WR Tyler Lockett's Week 17 availability when asked on Monday. "We'll see where he is," Carroll said. "I don't know.'' Lockett has re-joined the team after spending last week in Los Angeles recovering from surgery to repair a fractured finger. The 7-8 Seahawks are desperate enough to potentially push Lockett to play vs. the Jets this weekend, but fantasy owners should have an alternate option lined up. We'll keep you updated on Lockett's status throughout this week.

Seahawks QB Geno Smith threw for just 215 yards on 25-of-40 passing in Saturday's loss to the Chiefs, with 1 TD and 1 INT. His 74.5 passer rating was his lowest mark of the year. WR D.K. Metcalf led the receiving with 7 catches for 81 yards on 9 targets. RB DeeJay Dallas checked in next by catching all 6 of his targets for 32 yards. WR Marquise Goodwin went catch-less among 4 targets. TE Noah Fant caught the team's only TD among 2 receptions for 12 yards. Seattle might get better weather in Week 17 but will face a much tougher defense in the Jets.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker entered Saturday's game questionable after missing practice all week with an ankle injury. But then he racked up 26 carries for 107 yards (4.1 per rush). The rookie added 2 catches for minus-2 yards in the loss to the Chiefs. He gets a tough matchup with the Jets in Week 17.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. He only got in a limited practice on Thursday and was listed as questionable, so Fant figures to be operating at less than 100% in this one.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. He didn’t practice all week, so it’s safe to assume that he’s not at 100%. Walker played 75% of Seattle’s offensive snaps with this injury last week, though, and we haven’t heard anything about him being limited today. See where Walker sits in the Week 16 RB Rankings. RB DeeJay Dallas (ankle) is also active today; RB Wayne Gallman is a healthy scratch.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Seahawks TE Noah Fant (knee) is expected to play vs. the Chiefs today. Fant is listed as questionable after getting in just a limited practice on Thursday, so it's safe to assume he won't be at 100% for this one. He remains in the fantasy mix, though, with WR Tyler Lockett's absence freeing up a bunch of target opportunity.
