Seahawks | Terrence Magee added to roster Sat Sep 24, 06:30 PM
Seattle Seahawks practice squad RB Terrence Magee was signed to the active roster Saturday, Sept. 24.
| Footballguys view: With Thomas Rawls doubtful (shin), the Seahawks need another body at RB. |
Seahawks | Christine Michael set for 20 carries? Fri Sep 23, 11:13 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Christine Michael is 'ready for a bigger load' against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3, according to head coach Pete Carroll, and Carroll said Michael is ready to carry the ball '20-something times' in a game.
| Footballguys view: The split with Thomas Rawls negatively impacts the fantasy value of both backs. This week against the 49ers, Rawls is doubtful with a shin injury. That makes Michael a potential RB1 in Week 3. Consider him if you need a cheaper RB in DFS, and start him as a RB2 in season-long fantasy. |

Seahawks | Russell Wilson not on injury report Fri Sep 23, 10:06 PM
Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (ankle) was a full participant in practice Friday, Sept. 23, and was not listed on the injury report for Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers gave up a huge game to Cam Newton last week. If Wilson is more mobile and able to drive his throws than what we saw last week, he might return to his QB1 ways this week. |

Seattle Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (knee) was a full participant in practice Friday, Sept. 23, and he was not listed on the injury report for Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers.
| Footballguys view: Baldwin had an MRI earlier this week, but it's obvious that everything is good to go now that we are entering the weekend. The 49ers defense was not impressive at Carolina last week and a healthier Russell Wilson should be in position to take advantage of it. Baldwin is a solid WR3/Flex this week. |

Seahawks | Tyler Lockett listed as questionable Fri Sep 23, 09:39 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (knee) was a full participant in practice Friday, Sept. 23, and is listed as questionable for Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers.
| Footballguys view: Lockett is a boom/bust WR3/Flex at best this week, but his ability to get free for a long gain after getting injured last week should give you some confidence if you have to turn to him this week. Russell Wilson is getting healthier and the 49ers matchup is a good one, so Lockett could carry over that momentum from the last drive in the loss to the Rams last week. |

Seahawks | Thomas Rawls listed as doubtful Fri Sep 23, 05:05 PM
Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls (shin) has been listed as doubtful for Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers.
| Footballguys view: Fire up Christine Michael as a borderline RB1 in a game the Seahawks should control from start to finish to give Michael the biggest workload of his career. |

Seahawks | Thomas Rawls 'uncertain' to go vs. 49ers Fri Sep 23, 03:14 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls (shin) is 'uncertain' to play in the words of head coach Pete Carroll for Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers. On Wednesday, Sept. 21, Carroll described the injury as a strain in a muscle around Rawls' shin.
| Footballguys view: If Rawls can't go, Christine Michael elevates to low RB1 status against the 49ers in a game the Seahawks should be able to control at home. Rookie Alex Collins could be active as see some work if Rawls is inactive. |

Seahawks | Thomas Rawls still not practicing Thu Sep 22, 11:34 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls (shin) did not practice Thursday, Sept. 22.
| Footballguys view: Pete Carroll is insistent that Rawls is going to play vs. the 49ers, but his practice participation reports tell a different story. Either way, Christine Michael is the back to start this week in Seattle, and if Rawls is out, Michael is borderline RB1. |

Seahawks | Tyler Lockett to be ready for Niners Thu Sep 22, 12:40 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (knee) is expected to be ready to play in the Week 3 game against the San Francisco 49ers. Head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday, Sept. 21, that Lockett is 'on track to play' in Week 3.
| Footballguys view: We don't fully trust the Seahawks passing game quite yet. They don't look like themselves with the OL woes forcing Russell Wilson into running for his life. Consider Lockett a WR3/flex if he plays on Sunday. |

Seahawks | Doug Baldwin expected to play Thu Sep 22, 12:39 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (knee) is expected to play in the Week 3 game against the San Francisco. Head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday, Sept. 21, that Baldwin is 'on track to play.' Carroll said Baldwin's injury was a 'little knee twist,' and tests revealed no significant damage.
| Footballguys view: Good news for Baldwin, but don't fall all over yourself getting him in the lineup. If he plays, consider him a WR3 with all the offensive problems the Seahawks are having. |

Seahawks | Thomas Rawls on track for Week 3 Thu Sep 22, 12:38 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls (leg) is 'on track to play' in the Week 3 game against the San Francisco 49ers, head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday, Sept. 21.
| Footballguys view: Rawls is going to continue to split time with Christine Michael ... and that negatively impacts the fantasy value of both backs. We see these two more as RB3/flex level plays in Week 3. |

Seahawks | Jimmy Graham OK after more work Thu Sep 22, 12:37 AM
Seattle Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham (knee) was able to play 53 snaps in the Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Rams, a significant jump in play compared to Week 1. Head coach Pete Carroll said Graham was fine after the increase.
| Footballguys view: Graham is doing a bit better than we thought he would this season. He's still only a TE2 for fantasy owners at this time. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Christine Michael has caught the eye of head coach Pete Carroll, who was asked about his star-crossed runner on Monday, Sept. 19.
| Footballguys view: Michael has outperformed a banged up Thomas Rawls this season. The two should continue to split time and that's a frustrating situation for fantasy owners. Consider both more RB3/flex level plays while the split continues. |

Seahawks | Jimmy Graham holding up well Tue Sep 20, 12:18 PM
Seattle Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham reported feeling 'like a beast' when asked how he felt physically following his team's loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2. Graham saw a huge increase in snaps in Week 2, participating in 82 percent of the team's offensive plays (55 snaps) after playing only 21 percent overall (17) in Week 1.
| Footballguys view: In deep leagues, Graham is worth considering as a waiver wire addition. However, even in those formats he's only got TE2 value at this moment. It's nice to see him healthy-ish and contributing more in that offense, but this isn't the 'OMG' player/situation it used to be with Graham. |

Seahawks | MRI negative for Doug Baldwin Mon Sep 19, 05:28 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin's (knee) MRI came back negative Monday, Sept. 19, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Great news for the Seahawks and Baldwin's fantasy owners here. We should consider Baldwin day-to-day with this injury. His practice status on Friday will be important when projecting whether or not he's going to play in Week 3 against the 49ers. |

Seahawks | Seattle guilty of 'excessive workouts' Mon Sep 19, 02:25 PM
The Seattle Seahawks were fined $400,000 and will forfeit a fifth-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft for violating the league's Collective Bargaining Agreement and the rules that prohibit excessive contact in all offseason workouts.
| Footballguys view: Here we go again. Head coach Pete Carroll was also fined $200,000. The Seahawks committed a similar violation two years ago. |
Seahawks | Doug Baldwin to have MRI Mon Sep 19, 08:20 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin (knee, back) will have an MRI Monday, Sept. 19, for a knee injury he suffered in Week 2. He also experienced back spasms during the game.
| Footballguys view: It was not a robust day for the Seahawks offense against the Rams in Week 2. Baldwin's injury certainly impacted the numbers of the passing game. |

Seahawks | Jimmy Graham feeling fine Sun Sep 18, 09:15 PM
Seattle Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham (knee) said Sunday, Sept. 18, after the Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Rams that he feels fine physically. 'I think I'm back earlier than everybody thought I'd be,' Graham said.
| Footballguys view: Graham moves into TE streamer consideration against the 49ers next week. They gave up a long score to Greg Olsen today and otherwise should be prone to getting worn out with Blaine Gabbert entrusted with keeping the offense on the field. |

Seahawks | Thomas Rawls suffers contusion Sun Sep 18, 09:14 PM
Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls (leg) suffered a lower leg contusion in the Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Rams after being kicked, head coach Pete Carroll said Sunday, Sept. 18.
| Footballguys view: Christine Michael finished the game and ran better than Rawls for the second straight week. The Seahawks love Rawls, but if the performances continue to go this way, Michael may turn this into an RBBC. Whoever starts is a good play against the 49ers next week. |

Seahawks | Tyler Lockett able to return Sun Sep 18, 09:13 PM
Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett (knee) left the Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Rams due to what head coach Pete Carroll called a 'little bit of a sprained knee.' Lockett was able to return and finish the game.
| Footballguys view: He even reeled in a deep ball on the Seahawks last gasp drive. It's still hard to trust him next week except as a boom/bust WR3/Flex, although the 49ers matchup looks like a good one after Cam Newton threw for four scores against them today. |

Seahawks | Russell Wilson to run less in Week 2 Sat Sep 17, 02:05 PM
Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (ankle) is expected to work from the pocket much more than usual in Week 2 versus the Los Angeles Rams, according to ESPN's Sheil Kapadia.
| Footballguys view: Wilson's ankle injury isn't considered serious, but the team is going to be cautious with him. Against the Rams in Week 2, Wilson may have to use his legs to escape the pocket. We think Wilson is a QB2 due to this injury and matchup. |

Seahawks | Thomas Rawls happy to have FB back Sat Sep 17, 12:14 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB Thomas Rawls said he is excited to have FB Will Tukuafu back for Week 2 against the Los Angeles Rams.
| Footballguys view: We could see more of an emphasis on Rawls this week. The Seahawks travel to play the Rams in Week 2, and Rawls has earned a larger workload. He's still splitting time with Christine Michael so make sure to consider Rawls more of a low-end RB2 with upside. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 16, and is not on the injury report for Week 2.
| Footballguys view: Wilson's ankle injury limited him last week, and it could make him a lesser runner this week, but it shouldn't be as bad as it looked last Sunday. The Rams usually give him a hard time, but Wilson is still a mid-low QB1 this week. |

Seahawks | Jimmy Graham expected to play more Week 2 Fri Sep 16, 05:37 PM
Seattle Seahawks TE Jimmy Graham (knee) is 'ready to play in all situations (Week 2 versus the Los Angeles Rams)', according to head coach Pete Carroll.
| Footballguys view: Graham probably isn't worth a start yet, but this news is enough to pick him up in leagues where he went undrafted. The Seahawks have three strong wide receivers and an offense that leans run heavy, so he's going to be marginal TE1 even if he got most of his ability back after his season-ending patellar tendon tear last year. |
