So you took my advice and drafted Blake Martinez as a great value linebacker in the 15th round.

Maybe you were banking on Harold Landry... Read More

Rashaad Penny - Week 1 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny went on an absolute tear to close out last season. In Weeks 14-18 of 2021, he averaged an absurd 134.2 rushing yards per game.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett will look to get around the tough Denver Broncos defense during the Monday night matchup.

Geno Smith - Week 1 Outlook for Fantasy Football
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith was recently named as the starter and will look to show precisely why Monday night against the Denver Broncos.

The Broncos... Read More

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf will be going up against his former QB in the Monday night showdown against the Denver Broncos.
