SEATTLE SEAHAWKS NEWS

Noah Fant - Snags two passes Fant caught two of three targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.

Impact Fant led all Seattle tight ends with a 60 percent snap share and was the only tight end to get targeted in Sunday's win. At best, he's the fourth receiving option in this offense, so he won't be a reliable fantasy option even if his snap share stays elevated. Through seven games, Fant has recorded 14 catches for 226 yards and no touchdowns.

DeeJay Dallas - No offensive snaps in win Dallas didn't log an offensive snap in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns. He totaled 15 yards on two punt returns.

Impact Dallas lost his kick-return duties in Week 8 with Dee Eskridge returning to the lineup. He has averaged 12.7 yards per punt return this season, which ranks fourth in the league for players with more than 10 returns. He should retain active status each week, but his fantasy utility will be negligible as long as Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet are healthy.

Zach Charbonnet - Out-snaps Walker in win Charbonnet rushed five times for 53 yards and caught both of his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.

Impact For the first time this season, Charbonnet led Seahawks running backs with 31 snaps (56 percent) while Kenneth Walker logged 24 snaps (44 percent). Still, Walker narrowly took the majority of the touches, turning eight carries into 66 yards and two targets into one four-yard catch. It's encouraging that Charbonnet was effective with his usage Week 8, but it's unclear whether the tables are actually turning in this backfield. After all, Walker dealt with a calf injury during the practice week and could have handled a limited workload as a result. This is an RB situation worth keeping an eye on as the team travels to Baltimore in Week 9.

Jake Bobo - Scores rushing touchdown Bobo caught two passes (on two targets) for 23 yards and rushed once for a three-yard touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.

Impact Bobo cut behind the right guard on an end around to open the scoring in the first quarter, becoming the first wide receiver this season to score both a rushing and a receiving touchdown. The undrafted rookie has been a great story this season, but his playing time is slipping now that DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are all healthy. In Week 8, Bobo played just 17 offensive snaps (31 percent).

Leonard Williams - Headed to Seattle The Giants agreed Monday to trade Williams to the Seahawks in exchange for a 2024 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact With the move, the 5-2 Seahawks have made a major upgrade to their defensive line ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline. In eight games with the Giants this season, Williams has recorded 21 tackles and 1.5 sacks. Per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, in order to facilitate the deal, the Giants are likely to assume all or most of the remaining $10 million owed on Williams' contract in 2023.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba - Catches game-winning score Smith-Njigba recorded three receptions on four targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.

Impact Smith-Njigba was sporadically involved in the game, though he managed a 19-yard reception midway through the second quarter to set up Seattle's second touchdown of the game. He caught a touchdown of his own with 44 seconds remaining in the game, which turned out to be the winning score. Smith-Njigba has now found the end zone in consecutive games, though the return of DK Metcalf served to significantly limit his opportunities.

NFL Week 8 highlights: Chargers best Bears; Eagles, Vikings, Seahawks, Jets win

Week 8 of the NFL continued Sunday with a handful of important matchups as we close in on the halfway-mark of the 2023 season.

OCTOBER 30, 2023

Geno Smith - Leads game-winning drive Smith completed 23 of 37 passes for 254 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.

Impact Smith had both good and bad moments in the game, as he cost the Seahawks a chance at points late in the first half with a pick deep in Cleveland territory. That carried over into the second half, as he threw another interception and managed only 80 total yards. However, he found a good time to come alive, as he completed four of five passes for 52 yards on the team's game-winning drive, which Smith capped with a nine-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Overall, Smith has topped 250 yards four times in seven games, while he's thrown for multiple touchdowns on three occasions.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Lockett - Finds end zone in victory Lockett recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.

Impact Lockett's nine targets were surprisingly his second-highest total of the season, which allowed him to top 80 yards in a game for as many times on the campaign -- both of which came in his last three games. The highlight of his performance came on a 12-yard touchdown reception midway through the second quarter, his first time in the end zone since Week 2. When possible, the Seahawks try to run an offense centered on the ground game, which has served to limit Lockett's volume and production through seven contests. However, his performance Sunday showed that when Seattle is chasing points or in a tight game, Lockett is still capable of delivering solid fantasy performances.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

DK Metcalf - Inefficient on 14 targets Metcalf recorded five receptions on 14 targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns.

Impact Metcalf drew double-digit targets for the first time this season, though he still fell below 70 receiving yards for the third consecutive game. The highlight of his performance was a 43-yard grab late in the first quarter on a drive that ended with a field goal. While Metcalf was highly inefficient, he should have better results moving forward if he can regularly command targets at a higher clip.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kenneth Walker III - Only eight carries Walker rushed the ball eight times for 66 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Browns. He added one catch for four yards.

Impact Walker battled a calf injury coming out of a Week 7 matchup against the Cardinals and was unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday. While he entered Sunday's game without an injury designation, it's possible the issue nagged him as he was held to a season-low in carries. Though it was a disappointing result, Walker was in a particularly tough matchup and still has at least 60 rushing yards in six of his seven games this season.

Phil Haynes - Unavailable Sunday Haynes (calf) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus Cleveland.

Impact Haynes will be forced to sit out a second game in a row as he continues to nurse a calf injury. Anthony Bradford will draw another start at right guard for Seattle.

OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jamal Adams - Ready to go Sunday Adams (knee) is active for Sunday's game with the Browns.

Impact Adams opened the week as a nonparticipant at practice but he was able to work up to full participation Friday and he's now ready to go for Week 8. The safety registered a season-high six tackles in Seattle's win over the Cardinals in Week 7.

OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Lockett - Suiting up in Week 8 Lockett (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the Browns.

Impact Lockett was able to play through a hamstring injury Week 7 when DK Metcalf was inactive due to rib and hip issues. After opening Week 8 prep with back-to-back missed practices because of the lingering health concern, Lockett capped it with a full session, and while the wide receiver was listed as questionable for Sunday's contest, coach Pete Carroll told Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times on Friday that Lockett was in line to play this weekend. Indeed, that has come to pass, but Lockett may have a tough time producing against a Cleveland defense that has allowed an NFL-low 47.9 percent catch rate and just three touchdowns to wide receivers in six games this season.
