Summary

The Seahawks had a solid year defensively, getting the benefit of playing in a pretty weak offensive division. Seattle finished ninth overall defensively and were a top 10 fantasy defense in most formats. They did a great job of creating turnovers, though, grabbing 22 interceptions, which was among the best in the league. Seattle didn't have a great pass rush but weren't terrible, notching 33 sacks last season. That number could improve some with newcomer Bruce Irvin expected to generate a top pass rush. The secondary remains the strength of the team with cornerbacks Richard Sherman and Brandon Brower emerging as solid players. The Seahawks added linebacker Barrett Ruud to try to improve a mediocre run defense. The Special teams remain strong for the Seahawks with two top return men at their disposal. Both Leon Washington and Golden Tate are big-play threats and do well in the return game.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Seahawks probably will be overlooked some come draft day but they have upside in a weak division. Seattle could be a nice platoon option for fantasy teams. They cause turnovers and their sack totals should be improved a little.
