Seattle Seahawks Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Seahawks QB Geno Smith went 26 of 34 (76.5%) for 275 yards (8.1 per attempt), 2 TDs and an INT in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Smith found WRs Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf for his 2 scores. Metcalf tied TE Noah Fant for the team lead with 6 targets. Fant led the way with 5 catches for 96 yards. Metcalf totaled just 37 yards on his 5 receptions. Lockett caught all 5 of his targets for 67 yards.

Seahawks rookie RB Kenneth Walker III rushed 26 times for 109 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's win at Arizona. He added 3 catches for 20 yards on 4 targets. It was Walker's 5th straight game with at least 1 TD and 2nd 2-TD line in the past 3 games. Walker has delivered 7 rushing scores over the past 5 games. Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas each claimed just 1 carry Sunday, with Homer adding 3 catches (25 yards) on 3 targets. Seattle heads to Germany next Sunday morning to face the Buccaneers.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 9 injury report. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice after being limited the previous 2 days. Fant will continue splitting TE work with Will Dissly, leaving both guys outside TE1 territory.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll alluded to more passing-game work coming for RB Kenneth Walker, who has just 3 catches on 5 targets over the past 3 weeks. "I don’t really feel like we cut him loose yet," Carroll said. "I think he has big games ahead ... I think we are going to see even more than we have seen already, and not just in the run game, but the pass game too." Walker actually lost some pass routes to RB Travis Homer last week. Don't expect him to put up big numbers as a receiver, but even 2 or 3 catches per game would be a big boost to his already exciting fantasy value.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (hamstring) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We'll see what he does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals.

Seahawks TE Noah Fant (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice. We'll see how he progresses over the next few days. TE Will Dissly would become a potential fantasy spot start if Fant can't play vs. the Cardinals on Sunday.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Jr. posted a pedestrian 51 yards on 18 carries in Sunday's win over the Giants. He saved his fantasy day with an impressive cutback run for a 16-yard TD in the 4th quarter and continued to dominated backfield work. RB Travis Homer ran just 10 pass routes to Walker's 23 in his return from IR, according to Pro Football Focus numbers. RB DeeJay Dallas got on the field for just 5 snaps. Walker has now tallied 18+ carries and 20+ opportunities in 3 straight games.

Seahawks WRs D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett each came up a little short of their usual playing time in Sunday's win over the Giants but otherwise showed no signs of the injuries that made them questionable. Metcalf led Seattle with 10 targets and 6 catches, taking them for 55 yards and a TD. He narrowly missed more with a couple of near-catches. Lockett posted a 5-63-1 receiving line on 8 targets and dropped another ball that would have produced a long TD. Barring physical setbacks this week, both guys should be strong fantasy starts at Arizona.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (hamstring, ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Giants. He seems to be over the hamstring problem, putting in a full practice on Thursday. But Lockett was limited on Friday with the rib issue. Lockett carries more risk in Week 8 fantasy lineups than usual.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Giants. He got in just a limited practice on Friday after suffering a patellar tendon injury last Sunday, so it’s tough to imagine that he’ll be anywhere close to 100% today. Consider Metcalf a risk/reward WR3 in Week 8 fantasy lineups.

The Seahawks expect WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) to play today against the Giants. That's quite a turnaround after he left last week's game on a cart. There's some risk to using Metcalf in fantasy lineups, but it's a positive matchup. We'll watch for any further word on his status before the early games -- and obviously watch for confirmation when the late-game inactives come out.

We're seeing somewhat conflicting reports this morning on the status of Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett. ESPN's Adam Schefter says he's expected to play through his "questionable" designation for hamstring and rib injuries. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says there's "optimism" that he'll play but calls Lockett a game-time decision. It seems we should expect to have Lockett available for fantasy football lineups, but try to have an insurance option on standby.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Giants. He returned to a limited practice on Friday after sitting out the previous 2 days, so Metcalf seems to have at least some chance of playing on Sunday. Fantasy owners should still plan on being without him for now, but we’ll keep you updated on Metcalf’s status.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (hamstring, ribs) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Giants. He seems to be past the hamstring problem, putting in a full practice on Thursday. But Lockett was limited on Friday, when the ribs were added to the injury report. HC Pete Carroll said Lockett had an "oblique issue" pop up on Thursday. We'll look for an update on his status on Sunday morning. Seahawks-Giants doesn't kick off until 4:25 pm ET.

Raiders S Johnathan Abram (illness) and LB Divine Deablo (back, ankle) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints. Abram put in limited practices Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday. Deablo managed only a limited Friday and doesn't look like a great bet for fantasy football lineups. Denzel Perryman would likely lead LB playing time for the Raiders if Deablo can't go. LB Jason Brown is also ready to return after missing last week with a hamstring injury.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf is "probably more week-to-week than day-to-day" with the knee he injured against the Chargers last Sunday. Rapoport adds that he'd be "a little surprised" if Metcalf winds up playing this Sunday against the Giants. His absence would put Marquise Goodwin in the starting lineup, coming off a 2-TD game against L.A.

Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (hamstring) was upgraded to full participation on Thursday. It looks like the hamstring troubles are behind him. Lockett should be busy vs. the Giants this weekend with WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) expected to be out.

Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Pete Carroll hasn't quite ruled him out for this weekend's game vs. the Giants, but Metcalf seems like an extreme long shot for that one. Marquise Goodwin is expected to step in as Seattle's #2 WR behind Tyler Lockett.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said in a Monday radio appearance that WR D.K. Metcalf suffered a patellar tendon injury in the win over the Chargers. Metcalf won't need surgery on the knee, according to Carroll, but it's still unclear how long he'll be sidelined. We'll keep you posted on the situation, but Metcalf owners shouldn't plan on having him in Week 8 fantasy lineups.

Seahawks rookie RB Kenneth Walker racked up 168 yards and 2 TDs on 23 carries in Sunday's win over the Chargers. The biggest strike came on a 74-yard TD run with just less than 7 minutes left in the 4th quarter. He also scored from 12 yards out in the 1st quarter. Walker didn't see a target in the game, but his 19 routes tied for 3rd among Seahawks, according to Pro Football Focus. RB DeeJay Dallas caught both of his targets but ran 10 fewer routes than Walker. He added 35 yards on 6 carries.
