Seattle Seahawks 2021 Fantasy Football Guide
Seahawks Kicker, DST
Jason Myers
Overall (standard league): #11 kicker, #177 overall
Projected Statistics: 27 of 30 FGs, 43 of 46 XPTS
2021 Fantasy Preview
2020 was a fantastic season for Jason Myers, who was a perfect 24 for 24 on FGs. He did miss 4 extra points but was otherwise great all season long and a reliable source of fantasy points from a position that no one relies on. The best strategy for picking a kicker is to find a team that’s going to score plenty of points and averages a lot of drives per game.
The Seahawks aren’t typically that team as they focus on slowing down the drives per game with an effective running game. So Myers, as a kicker, can probably be picked towards the end of your draft.
Seahawks DST (Defense + Special Teams)
Overall (standard league): #13 Defense, #211 overall
Projected Statistics: 24.3 PPG, 383 YPG
2021 Fantasy Preview
In 2020, the Seahawks Seahawks had one of the worst first-half defenses. But when players started to return from injuries, they ended up having a second half that was top three in the league. Their overall performance put them in the middle of the pack statistically.
Seattle will once again have safety sack machine Jamal Adams to go with future Hall-of-Famer Bobby Wagner. Other than Poona Ford and Carlos Dunlap, the rest of the names have some question marks or aren’t recognizable. Pete Carroll is a defensive-minded coach, so the chances are that the Seahawks put up another great defense.
The Seahawks DST shouldn’t be part of the run on DSTs in your draft. You’re better off taking them towards the end of your draft if you need to have them on your team.
Jamal Adams was on a mission all season long:
😤 First career pick-6 and fumble recovery TD
😤 Two forced fumbles
😤 6.5 sacks@Prez | @nyjets pic.twitter.com/MKB73ZRg4S— NFL (@NFL) February 14, 2020
