Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba landing an extension is one of the team's priorities this offseason.
Huddle Up: After a monstrous 119-1,793-10 season, only Puka Nacua was better than JSN in fantasy in 2025. He's entering the last year of his rookie contract, with a fifth-year option available as well, and he could force the team's hand into a new deal. He just turned 24, and he'll be a top-five option at the position to target in drafts.

Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent Kenneth Walker III is unlikely to receive the franchise tag this offseason. The team has multiple free agents they'd like to retain, and Super Bowl tax costs have pushed the franchise tag out of range.
Huddle Up: K-9 could still return, but there's a chance another team throws a large sum at him. He was just the RB22 in PPR leagues despite playing in 17 games, and Zach Charbonnet was the RB25 in one fewer game. Charbonnet is recovering from a torn ACL, but the team could surmise the two backs are the same and let Walker go. If he stays in Seattle, he'll be a good RB2 with an expected workload boost with Charbonnet on the mend. However, he'd be an RB1 with a larger workload elsewhere.

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III could receive the franchise tag or the transition tag, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Huddle Up: Coming off Super Bowl MVP honors and with Zach Charbonnet recovering form a torn ACL, it would make sense for the Seahawks to retain Walker. Seattle managed his usage during the regular season, but his performance during the playoffs was a reminder of what he can do when given the reins of the backfield. If Walker is back with the Seahawks in 2026, he should be a quality RB2 option.

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold joined Tom Brady as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to win 14 or more games in back-to-back seasons, and Darnold is the only quarterback to win 14-plus games in his first season after changing teams, accomplishing the feat for the second year in a row in 2025.
Huddle Up: While Darnold did lead the league in turnovers this season, he also topped 4,000 yards for the second year in a row and threw 25 touchdowns. He should be a reliable QB2 in 2026 with streaming potential against the right matchups.

Updating an ongoing story, Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (head) was cleared to return to Super Bowl LX after being evaluated for a concussion.
Huddle Up: After a trip to the locker room, it looks like Smith-Njigba will be able to return to the game and try to help the Seahawks close out a win.

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III, an impending free agent after Super Bowl LX, has stepped up his play in the postseason with four rushing touchdowns after fellow RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) went down with a torn ACL earlier in the playoffs. "He's a phenomenal player, he's a great person, he's a great teammate," head coach Mike Macdonald said. "Again, those are things we are going to have to worry about, but not right now. Those are decisions we'll make in the future, but he knows how we feel about him, and I think we know how Ken feels about us."
Huddle Up: The Seahawks treated Walker with kid gloves in training camp, the preseason, and most of the regular season, splitting his workload with Charbonnet in a plan to preserve him for a postseason run. The plan was a wise one, as he produced a 1,000-yard season still, and he has been fresh in the playoffs, stepping up with Charbonnet out. Wherever he ends up in 2026, he is going to be a fantasy starter in most leagues, perhaps as a RB2 or flex play.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Feb. 6, and is not on the injury report for Super Bowl LX.
Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba became one of the top receivers in the NFL this season and will see plenty of targets this week against the New England Patriots. He is a must-start option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 2/06/2026 11:02 pm GMT
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) fully participated in practice Friday, Feb. 6, and is not on the injury report for Super Bowl LX.

Posted 2/06/2026 9:34 pm GMT
Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent RB Kenneth Walker III said he would like to re-sign with the Seahawks this offseason.
Huddle Up: Walker is coming off his second 1,000-yard season of his career in 2025 and will be one of the top running backs in free agency if he hits the market. Fantasy players can monitor the situation to see where he plays in next season, but he should be a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in fantasy leagues.
Posted 2/06/2026 3:56 am GMT
Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba was named the 2025 NFL Offensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press.
Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba led the NFL with 1,793 receiving yards, and he was held under 70 receiving yards just once during the regular season. He not only emerged as a weekly WR1, but he put himself in the conversation as the No. 1 overall fantasy option at the position.

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Feb. 5.
Huddle Up: After starting the week with a limited session, Darnold was a full go on Thursday. After battling an oblique injury the last couple of weeks, it looks like he could be close to full strength for Super Bowl LX.
Posted 2/05/2026 2:51 pm GMT
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) said his oblique feels really good heading into the Super Bowl. "It feels really good," Darnold said Wednesday morning. "Definitely the time off has helped a little bit. I'm always just going to take it one step at a time, do my rehab and do everything I need to do to make sure it feels great going into practice and going into the game... on Sunday."
Huddle Up: Darnold has opened eyes these playoffs and threw for 346 yards, three TDs and no INTs in the NFC Championship Game. Against Seattle's elite defense, and with a shoulder issue, Drake Maye falls behind Darnold in DFS this weekend.
Posted 2/05/2026 1:55 am GMT
Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (non-injury) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Feb. 4.
Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba was given some extra rest ahead of Super Bowl LX, and he should be busy in the big game. Including the postseason, Smith-Njigba has recorded 70-plus receiving yards in 17 of his 19 games this year.
Posted 1/31/2026 12:51 am GMT
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 30, but does not have a designation on the initial injury report for Super Bowl LX.
Huddle Up: Darnold was a limited participant in all three practices this week but will likely be more involved in practice leading up to the game. He has played well this season and will be a No. 1 quarterback in fantasy leagues next week.
Posted 1/30/2026 12:17 am GMT
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 29. The Seahawks only held a walkthrough Thursday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Darnold was able to play despite the injury last week and should be ready to play against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. He is coming off a three-touchdown performance during the NFC Championship game and will be a No. 1 quarterback in fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/28/2026 10:43 pm GMT
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 28. The Seahawks did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Darnold is dealing with soreness from the oblique but should be available to play in Super Bowl LX. He is coming off an outstanding NFC Championship game and will be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/27/2026 12:23 am GMT
Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba averaged 105.5 yards per game during the 2025 regular season.
Huddle Up: Smith-Njigba has a breakout season in 2025 and was able to post his second straight 1,000-yard season. He should continue to be one of the top receivers in the NFL for years to come and will be a No. 1 receiver in all leagues next season.
Posted 1/26/2026 7:20 pm GMT
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) is dealing with soreness in his oblique, but it is not believed to be a serious issue, according to head coach Mike Macdonald.
Huddle Up: Darnold will have an extra week to recover and should be fine for Super Bowl LX. He is coming off a tremendous NFC Championship game and will be a starting option in all fantasy leagues if he plays.
Posted 1/25/2026 5:30 pm GMT
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) will start the NFC Championship Game versus the Los Angeles Rams Sunday, Jan. 25, even though he split reps at quarterback in practice during the week with QB Drew Lock because of a lingering oblique issue. He will receive a pain-killing injection and is likely to throw in the locker room as part of an altered pregame routine that will be similar to his preparation for last week's Divisional Round playoff contest versus the San Francisco 49ers.
Huddle Up: Darnold only attempted short and medium throws during practice this week, in order to save his arm strength for the game, but is feeling better with each passing day, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. He should still be considered a QB1 option in all fantasy leagues as long as he is active.
Posted 1/25/2026 5:05 am GMT
Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III is expected to serve as the team's workhorse running back in the NFC Championship Game versus the Los Angeles Rams, with RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) sidelined. RBs Cam Akers and George Holani will serve as backups, according to a source, with several packages designed for each player.
Huddle Up: Walker had three touchdowns and 116 rushing yards in last week's Divisional Round playoff game versus the San Francisco 49ers and should be treated as a must-start option in all fantasy formats, especially given his success facing the Rams' defense this season. Both Holani and Akers can be viewed as flex options in playoff fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/23/2026 10:32 pm GMT
Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 23, and is not on the injury report for the NFC Championship game.
Posted 1/23/2026 10:27 pm GMT
Seattle Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp (non-injury) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 23, but is not on the injury report for the NFC Championship game.
Huddle Up: Kupp is coming off a solid performance last week and should see a similar workload during the championship game. He can be at least a flex option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/23/2026 10:22 pm GMT
Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani (hamstring) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 23, and is not on the injury report for the NFC Championship game.
Huddle Up: Holani was added to the 53-man roster and should have a role in the offense against the Los Angeles Rams. He will likely see a handful of touches behind Kenneth Walker III and can be a flex option in many fantasy leagues.
Posted 1/23/2026 10:16 pm GMT
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 23, but is not on the injury report for the NFC Championship game.
Huddle Up: Darnold sat out some drills this week because of his oblique injury but should be able to handle his normal workload against the Los Angeles Rams. He will be a No. 1 quarterback in fantasy leagues as long as he is active.
Posted 1/23/2026 7:05 pm GMT
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) was placed on injured reserve on Friday, Jan. 23.
Huddle Up: George Holani will likely pick up the workload that Charbonnet is giving up by being injured. The bulk of the backfield work, though, remains to be done by Kenneth Walker III.
