Seattle gave up 23 points and 415 yards during the Week 4 win over Miami and plays Minnesota on Sunday.

Analysis: The Seahawks had a bend but break showing as the Dolphins had six scoring drives, only one of which resulted in a touchdown. Seattle also had two takeaways and one sack. The main issue this season has been the pass defense as the Seahawks allow a league-worst 401 YPG, though they also rank second with six interceptions. Injuries are piling up as S Jamal Adams (groin) was already ruled out and CBs Quinton Dunbar (knee) and Shaquill Griffin (shoulder) are also less than 100 percent. Meanwhile,…read more

The Seahawks gave up 31 points and 522 yards during the Week 3 win over the Cowboys and play the Dolphins on Sunday.

Analysis: Dallas' run game was held to 2.9 YPC, but QB Dak Prescott racked up 472 yards through the air. However, Seattle had three takeaways and a pair of sacks to provide some fantasy production. Meanwhile, the Dolphins scored only 11 points in the season opener but have 59 points over the past two games. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick remains prone to turnovers, but the availability of S Jamal Adams (groin) could limit the fantasy prospects of the Seahawks D/ST this week.

The Seahawks allowed 23 offensive points and 464 yards to the Patriots in Week 2 and play the Cowboys on Sunday.

Analysis: Seattle had one takeaway and one sack and struggled to stop New England throughout the game, though it came up with the goal-line stand in the end to preserve the win. The Seahawks surrendered 397 yards through the air and 8.8 yards per pass, which is an ominous sign heading into the matchup with the Cowboys. Dallas just put up 40 points and 570 yards on Atlanta, though it did have three giveaways. Seattle's shortcomings in the pass rush figure to be a big problem this week, making this a…read more

Seattle had two sacks and two takeawaysThe Patriots dominated on the ground with 217 rushing yards against the Dolphins last week, whereas the Seahawks allowed only 3.4 YPC.

The Seahawks will play the Falcons on the road in Sunday's season opener.

Analysis: Seattle was a sub-par defense in most categories in 2019, but it finished third in takeaways (32) and scored three touchdowns. The Falcons struggled with 25 giveaways but still finished fifth in total offense (379.7 YPG), with RB Todd Gurley and TE Hayden Hurst replacing the departed Devonta Freeman and Austin Hooper, respectively. The Seahawks pass rush was poor and seems unlikely to be much improved in the absence of Jadeveon Clowney, and the addition of S Jalen Adams likely won't be enough…read more

The Seahawks finished 26th in total defense (381.6 YPG), 22nd in scoring (24.9 PPG) and tied-29th in sacks during 2019.

Analysis: The saving grace for Seattle was that it ranked third in takeaways (32) and scored three defensive touchdowns, but it meant boom-or-bust fantasy production. The poor pass rush is unlikely to be helped by the departure of Jadeveon Clowney, but the trade acquisition of S Jamal Adams brings a playmaker to the secondary.

The Seahawks allowed 412 yards and 27 points to the Cardinals in Week 16 and play the 49ers on Sunday.

Analysis: It's was a forgettable performance for Seattle all around, as backup QB Brett Hundley led a game-sealing touchdown drive after Kyler Murray (hamstring) exited the contest, while the offense averaged only 4.0 yards per play. The Seahawks are third in the league in takeaways (32) but rank 30th in sacks (26), 26th in total defense (380.5 YPG) and 21st in scoring (24.8 PPG). San Fran has struggled to hold onto the ball at times this season, but the Seattle D/ST remains a risky choice given its…read more

DE Jadeveon Clowney (core) will likely be questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Analysis: Clowney is battling a core-muscle injury and has yet to practice this week, and his potential absence would be significant for Seattle. The Seahawks allowed 414 yards and 24 points to the Panthers in Week 15 while recording one sack and three takeaways. The takeaways have been a strong point for the group all season (32), but Arizona conversely ranks fifth in the league in giveaways (13). The Cardinals have been inconsistent offensively -- in part due to sacks allowed (47) -- but overall rookie…read more

The Seahawks surrendered 455 yards during the Week 14, 28-12 loss to the Rams and play the Panthers on Sunday.

Analysis: Seattle struggled to slow down Los Angeles for most of the evening and allowed 9.2 yards per pass, but two takeaways -- including an interception return for a touchdown -- and a blocked field goal salvaged solid fantasy value. The performance is indicative of the unit's standing all season, as it ranks third in takeaways (29) but 26th in total defense (375.5 YPG), 22nd in scoring (24.7 PPG) and tied-29th in sacks (23). Meanwhile, the Panthers are in free fall on a five-game losing streak, with…read more

The Seahawks gave up 30 points and 354 yards to the Vikings in Week 13 and play the Rams on Sunday Night Football.

Analysis: Mirroring its performance for much of the season, Seattle had three takeaways but zero sacks in the victory. Overall the Seahawks rank third in takeaways (27) and 29th in sacks (23), while also ranking bottom-third in total defense (368.9 YPG) and scoring (24.4 PPG). Los Angeles has been marred by inconsistency on offense all season and struggle with giveaways (20), but they've given up only 19 sacks. The Seattle D/ST is a decent bet for a takeaway or two, but the lack of consistency elsewhere…read more

The Seahawks had five takeaways in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Eagles and will play the Vikings on Monday.

Analysis: Seattle also added three sacks despite being without Jadeveon Clowney (hip/knee), as Philadelphia had zero answers throughout the contest. The Seahawks now rank third in the league in takeaways (24) but are 27th in sacks. The ability to contain RB Dalvin Cook figures to be a sticking point in the matchup, and Seattle is allowing 4.5 yards per carry this season. Clowney's availablity, or lack thereof, should certainly be considered when deciding on the Seattle D/ST for Week 13.

Seattle comes out of its bye week allowing 372.9 YPG and 25.4 PPG and will play the Eagles on Sunday.

Analysis: The Seahawks delivered one of their better defensive outings of the season Week 10 against the 49ers by recording five sacks and three takeaways, both areas in which they struggled in recent weeks. Jadeveon Clowney put the cherry on top with a fumble return for a touchdown. QB Carson Wentz has been solid throughout the season, but the Eagles have received virtually zero contributions from their wide receivers in recent weeks and the offense has been inconsistent as a result. Philadelphia is…read more
