Huddle Up: Smith wasn't nearly as productive last year as he was in 2022, and he enters 2024 on the low end of QB2 territory despite a talented top-three receivers. Given that the Seahawks traded for QB Sam Howell, who started for the Washington Commanders last season, you can imagine Smith could be on a relatively short leash.

Huddle Up: The number is alarming, but some context is required here. Some of the issues could have stemmed from how long his preseason wrist injury bothered him and the time it took for him to build some chemistry with Geno Smith after that as a result. Smith-Njigba's hands were not a problem at Ohio State, as he managed a much more tolerable 5.9% drop rate during his 2021 breakout with the Buckeyes. After a disappointing rookie campaign, Smith-Njigba should be considered a decent WR3 option with upside in a new offense this summer.

Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba had an uneven rookie season, but he did finish with 63 receptions. While Seattle still had a crowded receiving room, Smith-Njigba's role should only grow moving forward. Consider him a fringe WR3, but he could quickly jump into WR2 territory if DK Metcalf or Tyler Lockett miss time.

Huddle Up: Perhaps one of the downfalls of the offense under former offensive coordinator Shane Waldron was largely leaving Metcalf on the outside and not moving him around very often. Seattle does not lack for offensive playmakers at receiver with Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba filling the other two spots, but Metcalf is an obvious mismatch anytime he lines up in the slot. Similar things could be said if the Seahawks send him in motion more often. Metcalf could be poised for a big year if Seattle goes pass-heavy as expected under new offensive Ryan Grubb.

Huddle Up: ESPN's Brady Henderson took a look at where the Seahawks ranked in terms of running back targets over the 14-year tenure of former head coach Pete Carroll. The last three coordinators - which spanned the final 13 years of the Carroll regime - ranked in the bottom quarter of the league during their time as the play-callers in Seattle. Fantasy managers will gladly welcome any improvement they can get from Walker or Charbonnet in the passing game, which might be enough to push Walker into low-end RB1 range and make Charbonnet a strong flex option.

Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba finished as the WR48 with a 63-628-4 rookie campaign. With the amount of talent at the position, it's tough to see him as more than a WR4 or low-end WR3, but he's one that could blossom as the season progresses.

Huddle Up: Smith saw a drop in his stats this last season but still has one of the better receiving corps to work with in the NFL. He should be able to improve on his stats in 2024 but probably will be a No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Smith will have to learn a new offense this offseason but still has one of the better receiver groups in the NFL. He probably should be considered a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in most fantasy leagues and will not be in the starting lineup often.

Huddle Up: Fant is the pass catcher, and the best fantasy option, especially now that Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson have moved to new organizations. Brown is best used in blocking situations, and is unlikely to do much from a fantasy perspective.

Huddle Up: Smith came back down to earth in 2024 but his overall numbers weren't terrible, with the Seahawks signal-caller finishing as QB18 overall despite missing two games due to injury. Smith has a massive dead-cap number this year and cutting him wouldn't net any savings, so it looks like he'll be on the roster no matter what, barring a trade. As far as competition is concerned, the Seahawks don't have any on the roster and Smith's stiffest competition might come from a rookie if Seattle drafts a quarterback. The veteran would be considered the favorite to start in that situation and if he wins, Smith will enter 2024 as a QB2.

Huddle Up: After four straight seasons with 1,000-plus yards and at least eight touchdowns, Lockett's numbers dipped in 2023. With Jaxon Smith-Njigba primed for a bigger role, staying in Seattle makes a rebound season for Lockett seem unlikely.

Huddle Up: Smith was the QB17 in 15 games last year. The team has the 16th overall selection and no second-round picks. So it'll be interesting to see if they try to land a quarterback in the middle of the first round or trade up. Smith is a decent QB2 "until he's not."

Huddle Up: Smith took a step back from his breakout 2022 season last year, but some of that had to do with an offense under former offensive coordinator Shane Waldron that probably ran a bit more than it should have. It also would not make much sense for Seattle to move on from Smith since the team does not have a viable alternative already in place and cutting him would have resulted in a dead cap charge of around $17.5 million. While he may not repeat 2022, Smith could rebound nicely if new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb employs a more pass-heavy approach as expected.

Huddle Up: Metcalf isn't going to rank among the league leaders in receptions, but his size and speed make him a matchup nightmare, especially in the red zone. He has caught 43 touchdowns in five seasons, and he has never finished with fewer than 900 receiving yards.

Huddle Up: While the sacks certainly didn't help his cause, a rough finish to the season that included six interceptions in the final three games may have cost him a chance at starting in 2024.

Huddle Up: Lockett should see a decent amount of targets this week against the Arizona Cardinals and can be at least a flex option in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Walker should be able to handle his normal workload despite missing some practice time this week. He can be considered a No. 2 running back or flex option in leagues.

Huddle Up: Lockett is coming off a disappointing Week 17 performance but should still see a decent amount of targets in the passing game this week. He can be at least a flex option in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Walker has been bothered by the injury for a few weeks but should have a good chance to play in the regular season finale. Fantasy players can monitor the situation over the next few days because Walker can be at least a flex option if he plays.

Huddle Up: Walker was active for the Week 17 game but was bothered by the shoulder injury, so fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if he will be able to play in Week 18. He can be at least a flex option in leagues if he is active for the game.

Huddle Up: Howell ranks as QB11 overall and has had a good second season, although his last four games have been rough, to say the least. Still, some of that can be attributed to a Commanders team has looked checked out for weeks now. Howell can't be trusted in lineups in Week 18 but should be held in dynasty formats.

Huddle Up: Metcalf was added to the injury report during the week but should be a big part of the passing game again this week. He should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Walker missed some practice time this week but should be able to handle his normal workload this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba will see some targets in the passing game and probably will see a bigger role if DK Metcalf is unable to play. He can be considered a flex option in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Walker seems to have a decent chance to be available for Week 17, but fantasy players will need to check the inactive list for his official status. He probably will receive most of the work at running back if he plays and can be at least a flex option in leagues.

Huddle Up: Metcalf missed the final two practices of the week and probably will be a game-time decision. He is a weekly starting option when healthy, but fantasy players will need other options ready in case he is ruled out.

Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba appears to be dealing with a minor injury and should be able to handle his normal workload this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He could be a flex option in deeper leagues if active.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to keep an eye on the situation to see if Metcalf is in any danger of missing the Week 17 game after being added to the injury report. He is a weekly starting option when healthy, but players should have a backup plan ready just in case.
