| The Seahawks were a huge disappointment last season, ranking 30th overall while allowing 24.5 points per game. Their pass defense was the big problem, allowing nearly 260 yards per game. The Seahawks also had just nine interceptions. The Seahawks hope newly acquired Ken Lucas can provide a veteran presence in the secondary. Seattle used their first pick in the draft on linebacker Aaron Curry, giving the team a top linebacker unit. Lofa Tatupa and Curry should be causing havoc the next several seasons for the Seahawks, giving the team quite a one-two punch at linebacker. The Seahawks pass rush does a pretty good job with Patrick Kerney leading the way. Curry also will be counted on to create pressure on the quarterback. A healthy Nate Burleson will help the Seahawks return game and Josh Wilson did well on kick returns last season (25.4 per return), so the Seahawks return games aren't too bad.

The Seahawks secondary remains a concern, but you have to lack their sack potential. Plus, the AFC West is weak, so the Seahawks are shaping up to be a good spot starter for fantasy teams. They have some potential in the right matchup. |
