The fantasy outlook for the Seattle Seahawks is quite bleak.
Justin Forsett has by far the most value on the Seahawks roster and when he gets his touches he is a productive back. Now there are a good amount of other backs I would take ahead of Forsett, but if he solidifies starting status I would be much more comfortable drafting him. His yards per carry really stands out at 5.4. For whatever reason the Seahawks decided after 22 carries, 130 yards and 2 TDs, he shouldn't see many touches. I was not high on Forsett until I looked into his stats. Could have a great year with LenDale White getting cut and Julius Jones on the decline. Take him for a good backup and play him when he has a good match-up.
-Projection: 1,000 rushing yards, 5-8 TDs; 45 catches, 400 receiving yards, 2 TD
The next player I would look to is T.J. Houshmandzadeh. He has never been a great YAC guy but he still manages to catch alot of balls. Plays bigger than 6'2" and can go up and grab the high ball. Still not thrilled with him though, his best days look to be behind him. Look at him as a backup with some added value in PPR leagues.
-Projection: 60-70 catches 800-900 yards, 5 TDs
Golden Tate looks to be one of the more NFL ready WRs to come out of a draft. He has excellent speed, soft hands, and plays bigger than 5'10". One other positive is the pro style of offense Notre Dame ran. Tate is used to running NFL like patterns and can find the open areas well. Should make an immediate impact given the lack of WR talent on the roster. May go through some growing pains early but look for good progression. Also he is great for a keeper/dynasty league and would make a nice 4th or 5th WR option.
-Projection: 50 catches, 650 yards, 5 TDs
John Carlson has put up good numbers for a TE in his first 2 years with the Seahawks. He is a big target for his QB and there is no real competition on the roster. If you wait until real late Carlson is not a bad selection as your starter but as a backup I would feel more comfortable.
-Projection: 50-60 catches, 600 yards, 5-8 TDs
The last player I would look at on the Seahawks roster would be Matt Hasselbeck. He put up a half decent season last year but at 34 I would stay away from him. In deep leagues he could work fine as a backup but his TD/INT ratio is far to high for my liking. Not a whole lot of weapons on offense either with a questionable offensive line. High risk, low reward; buyer beware.
-Projection: 2,800-3,000 yards, 15-20 TDs, 15-20 INTs
