2026 Fantasy Football Overview for the Seattle Seahawks

Super Bowl champion Sam Darnold (what a line to type out) ranks third in yards per attempt (8.2) and fourth in success rate (52%) during the last two seasons, although the fantasy returns in 2025 (QB24 in fantasy points per game) weren't huge. Still, the Ghostbuster carries a very reasonable borderline QB2 ADP ahead of a season that could feature him forced to throw more than ever considering this dire running back room.

Zach Charbonnet could be looking at a November or even December return following last January's torn ACL. Here's to hoping for a quick recovery. Explosive Golden Domer Jadarian Price was a surprise first-round pick, and he projects to have 246 total touches, far and away leading a backfield that also includes former Packer Emanuel Wilson and holdover George Holani. 

Jaxon Smith-Njigba scored 20.9 PPR points per game (WR2) during his Offensive Player of the Year campaign. He's a top-5 fantasy pick so long as new OC Brian Fleury doesn't attempt to do his best Shane Waldron impression. Meanwhile, Rashid Shaheed's shiny new $51M contract doesn't change the fact that the ex-Saint averaged just 17.5 receiving yards in Seattle last season could be wishful thinking. It's more likely that Shaheed divides the small pie of remaining targets with Cooper Kupp (33 in June) and Tory Horton (recovering from season-ending shin injury).

The NFL's best short-yardage rusher in 1st-down percentage on 3rd/4th down with three or fewer yards to go: AJ Barner (87.5%)! The tush push aficionado and reigning TE21 in PPR points per game is a perfectly fine late-round dart at the position, although the team's WR room—and TE Elijah Arroyo—make it tough to envision too big of a boom scenario given the lack of target upside at hand.

Seattle Seahawks Utilization Notes 

Jaxon Smith-Njigba followed up his second-half 2024 breakout, where he averaged 18.2 fantasy points from Week 9 onward, with a fantastic Year 3 campaign with 20.9. He led all WRs with a 36% target share and finished second in yards per route with a sterling 3.71. His 94 Utilization Score ranked second. JSN expanded his game, winning from the outside (77% wide alignment) and upped his aDOT from 8.7 to 11.1. Sam Darnold ranked eighth in passing yards per game (238), and the target competition is low. JSN is a top-3 WR.
