Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks D/ST allowed 17 points on Monday against Washington with 371 total yards and one interception.

Fantasy Impact

The Seahawks defense actually played its role in this game. Unfortunatley, the offense struggled to even pick up a first down which left the defense on the field way too long.

The Seattle Seahawks D/ST struggled mightily on Sunday against Colt McCoy and the Cardinals offense.

Fantasy Impact

McCoy finished the game completing 35-of-44 passes for 328 yards and two touchdowns. It was the short passing game that hurt them all game. They were already without starting cornerback D.J. Reed entering the game and Tre Brown got hurt in the middle of the game, so by then they were playing with both backup defensive backs. It had looked like Sidney Jones picked off McCoy, but the replay review overruled the turnover.

The Seattle Seahawks and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer have parted ways.

Fantasy Impact

"Philosophical differences" were cited as the reason for the split. Seattle has always been a run-first team under head coach Pete Carroll, but the #LetRussCook movement gained steam entering 2020, which led to an MVP performance out of Russell Wilson through the first half. However, turnovers quickly became an issue, and Carroll spoke publicly about his desire to get back to running the ball. The Seahawks' offense has always seemed to function at its best when plays broke down and things became unscripted. That usually isn't a good sign. Shane Steichen, the current Chargers' OC, has been mentioned as a candidate for Seattle's new opening.

The Seattle Seahawks D/ST recorded six sacks and one interception against Carson Wentz and the Eagles in a 23-17 Week 12 win.

Fantasy Impact

The Seahawks Defense has looked fantastic the last two weeks, holding the Cardinals and Eagles offenses to 21 points or less. They've now recorded nine sacks the past two games. They'll face the Giants in Week 13, who could be without starter Daniel Jones, making them a potential top-5 option next week.

Seahawks' HC Pete Carroll has reportedly signed a five-year contract extension that could make him the highest paid coach in the league, per Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact

Carroll has had a tremendous amount of success in Seattle over the past decade, tallying eight playoff appearances, two Super Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl win over Denver in 2013. Carroll has listened to Seahawks fans' chant of "let Russ cook" this season and it has resulted in QB Russell Wilson leading the MVP race with 26 passing touchdowns. Seattle will look to improve to 7-1 as they travel to Buffalo in Week 9.
