Seattle Seahawks 2021 Fantasy Football Guide
The NFL season is meer days away. This weekend many fantasy leagues hold their annual draft. Here is your guide to Seattle Seahawks’ players and the 2021 season.
Are you ready for some fantasy football? Our Joe Swenson put together a comprehensive Seattle Seahawks fantasy guide to get 12s ready for their annual draft.
Seahawks Quarterback
Russell Wilson
Overall (standard league): #8 QB, #33 Overall
Projected Statistics: 4,298 yards, 38 TDs, 11 INTs, 502 rushing yards, 4 TDs.
2021 Fantasy Preview
Those who have intimate knowledge of Russell Wilson’s performance know that he’s a first-half star. In the last two seasons, he has been a front runner for MVP through his first 8 games. Reaching for him early and then trading him midseason would be a tremendous strategic play and should pay off.
Russ isn’t really a first-round fantasy talent, but you could do worse. If you are sitting at the end of the first round and take him then.
Seahawks Running Backs
Chris Carson
Overall (standard league): #16 RB, #56 Overall
Projected Statistics: 1,019 yards rushing, 9 TDs, 38 receptions, 309 yards, 3 TDs
2021 Fantasy Preview
The 26-year-old running back has never had a fully healthy season. In 2019, Chris Carson played in 15 games and put up 1230 yards rushing while having a decent season receiving. He does have some PPR (Points Per Reception) value, but overall, Carson has more value once the Seahawks take the ball out of Wilson’s hands and force the running game.
If he can stay healthy, he’s a beast for sure. There will be an early run on running backs; every league does it. If you’re patient and he’s available in the fourth round, that’s a good spot to take your shot at getting the Seattle Seahawks bell-cow back.
DeeJay Dallas
Overall (standard league): #47 RB, #173 Overall
Projected Statistics: 228 yards rushing, 1 TD, 20 receptions, 144 yards, 0 TDs
2021 Fantasy Preview
Since Rashaad Penny gets injured so often, DeeJay Dallas looks to be Carson’s handcuff. If you end up taking Carson, then it would be wise to pick up Dallas at some point near the end of your draft. He’s going to be there.
Rashaad Penny
Overall (standard league): #51 RB, #180 Overall
Projected Statistics: 204 yards rushing, 1 TD, 12 receptions 95, yards, 0 TDs
2021 Fantasy Preview
Penny can’t be trusted to play consistently. The former first-round pick struggled with remaining healthy in the NFL. If there is a positive to look at from a fantasy standpoint, he has to be on the field to get paid. 2021 is the final year of his rookie contract, and if Penny wants to cash in as a free agent somewhere, he needs to prove that he can stay healthy.
