AJ Barner AJ Barner Tending to pair of injuries
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 6:04 PM
Barner was limited at practice Wednesday due to knee and shoulder injuries, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Barner paces Seattle's group of tight ends most weeks, clearing an 80 percent snap share eight times in 12 games this season. The results have been more tepid in the box score, as evidenced by a 37-359-4 line on 46 targets on the campaign in an offense that is run-heavy and also has a clear top receiver in Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Barner will have two more chances to prove his health this week before Friday's practice report potentially includes a designation for Sunday's contest in Atlanta. |

Sam Darnold Sam Darnold Not listed on practice report
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 5:57 PM
Darnold (ankle) isn't listed on the Seahawks' first Week 14 injury report Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Darnold paid multiple visits to the sideline tent during this past Sunday's win against the Vikings, but he didn't miss any snaps until garbage time of the blowout win. On Monday, coach Mike Macdonald told Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune that Darnold was dealing with an ankle issue but should be "good to go" Week 14 in Atlanta. With no designation to speak of on the team's first practice report of the week, Darnold will be under center for Seattle this Sunday. |

Elijah Arroyo Elijah Arroyo Two targets in win
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 2:51 PM
Arroyo didn't haul in either of his two targets in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: Arroyo continues to run behind second-year tight end AJ Barner, as the former recorded a 39 percent snap share in the blowout win. We've seen some flashes from the rookie tight end, but he won't be a dependable fantasy option moving forward barring an injury to Barner. |
|
Cody White Cody White One grab in win
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 2:49 PM
White caught his lone target for 21 yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: White recorded his first catch since Week 9 and his second of the season in the blowout win. He has totaled just 25 total snaps over the last two weeks, and his usage should remain limited as long as Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed are healthy. |

Myles Gaskin Myles Gaskin Three rushes in blowout win
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 2:48 PM
Gaskin rushed three times for six yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: With George Holani (hamstring) on injured reserve, Gaskin served as the No. 3 running back behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet. Gaskin logged three offensive snaps in the blowout win and received a carry on each one. Cam Akers also signed with the team earlier in the week but was a healthy scratch, but it's possible Akers gets the nod over Gaskin in Week 14 versus the Falcons. |

Sam Darnold Sam Darnold Dealing with minor ankle issue
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 12:13 PM
Coach Mike Macdonald said Monday that Darnold was dealing with an ankle injury during Sunday's win over the Vikings, but the quarterback "should be good to go" for Week 14 against the Falcons, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Darnold was in the blue medical tent on the sideline a couple times against Minnesota, but he didn't miss any offensive snaps prior to giving way to Drew Lock for the final drive of the 26-0 win. Darnold might be listed on the injury report this week, but it sounds like it would be a surprise to see him have an injury designation ahead of next Sunday's game against Atlanta. |

AJ Barner AJ Barner Leading receiver in run-heavy win
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 9:39 PM
Barner brought in four of five targets for 35 yards while taking his only carry for two yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: Barner finished Sunday's contest as Seattle's leading receiver with the team executing a run-heavy gameplan against Minnesota. The versatile tight end ran another successful variation of Philadelphia's "tush push," marking his ninth rushing attempt of the season. Barner has been a pleasant surprise for those in deeper formats with 37 receptions for 359 yards and five total touchdowns across 12 starts. |

Rashid Shaheed Rashid Shaheed One snag in victory
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 9:03 PM
Shaheed caught one of three targets for seven yards and churned out 43 yards on three punt returns in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: Shaheed was once again a non-factor on offense in Week 13, reeling in a pass for seven yards in the second quarter. After securing at least four passes in all nine of his contests with the Saints prior to being traded, the wide receiver has only had one multi-catch performance with Seattle, catching four of 11 targets for 37 yards over four games with the team. Shaheed will look to be more involved on offense in Week 14 against Atlanta. |
|
Cooper Kupp Cooper Kupp Three catches in blowout win
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 8:57 PM
Kupp caught three of four targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over Minnesota.
Analysis: Kupp has now finished with either 23 or 24 yards exactly in three straight games, and he was able to lead all wideouts in receiving yards in Week 13. The 32-year-old hasn't exceeded three catches in a game since Week 5, and he hasn't found the end zone over his last five contests, limiting his upside greatly. |

Zach Charbonnet Zach Charbonnet Ties personal best in rushing TDs
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 8:37 PM
Charbonnet ran for 52 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries without being targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 26-0 rout of the Vikings.
Analysis: Charbonnet took full advantage of the lopsided nature of Sunday's contest, accruing six of his 14 carries -- including the touchdown run -- as Seattle was burning clock in the fourth quarter. It was the 24-year-old's eighth rushing touchdown of the season, matching the career-best mark he posted across 17 games as a sophomore. Unlike last year, Charbonnet has experienced a dip in efficiency as a rusher (-0.7 YPC) while seeing his role as a pass-catcher evaporate in 2025 (nine receptions in 11 appearances). Those factors cap Charbonnet as a flex option in fantasy for next Sunday's road tilt against Atlanta. |

Kenneth Walker Kenneth Walker Leading rusher on 13 carries
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 8:17 PM
Walker rushed 13 times for 56 yards and caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over Minnesota.
Analysis: Walker showed no ill effects from the glute injury that limited him during the practice week, finishing as the team's leading rusher and steamrolling DB Isaiah Rodgers on a second-half carry for good measure. Zach Charbonnet (14-52-1) did vulture a touchdown from Seattle's starter, but a significant portion of the backup's work came in garbage time of the shutout victory. Walker continues to be a consistent runner in fantasy, recording at least 50 rushing yards in eight of his 12 starts this season. The 24-year-old has just one rushing touchdown since Week 3, so Walker's mangers are hoping for more work around the goal line against the Falcons next Sunday. |

Sam Darnold Sam Darnold Pedestrian numbers in easy win
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 8:01 PM
Darnold completed 14 of 26 pass attempts for 128 yards with no touchdowns and one fumble lost in Sunday's 26-0 rout of the Vikings.
Analysis: Darnold struggled against the strength of Minnesota's defense as Seattle leaned on its ground game and dominant defense to secure victory in Week 13. It was the 28-year-old's lowest passing total through 12 starts with Seattle and -- depending on how league's penalize interceptions -- his worst fantasy score to date this season. Darnold has been a bit of a boom-or-bust asset in fantasy by providing managers with six multi-score games and three with zero touchdowns. Look for the signal-caller to get back on track next Sunday against an Atlanta quad heading in the wrong direction. |

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Jaxon Smith-Njigba Falls victim to game script
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 7:09 PM
Smith-Njigba finished with two receptions on four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: Smith-Njigba's fantasy managers suffered through an unfavorable game script that saw Seattle's defense and rushing attack take care of Minnesota in Week 13. QB Sam Darnold completed just 54 percent of his passes while failing to establish any rhythm while the game was still competitive in the first half. The end result was Smith-Njigba's worst fantasy score of 2025, which comes on the heels of his most-dominant showing against the Titans last Sunday (8-167-2). JSN is still the clear WR1 in fantasy this season even with this dud, carrying a sparkling 82-1,336-7 receiving line into next Sunday's tilt against the Falcons. |

Cam Akers Cam Akers Healthy scratch Sunday
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 1:54 PM
Akers (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Analysis: The running back signed with the team Wednesday after being cut from Minnesota's practice squad. With George Holani on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, Seattle appeared to have a spot available behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, but it will not go to Akers on Sunday. The former Viking has just five carries for 19 yards this season. |
|
Jake Bobo Jake Bobo Inactive Sunday
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 1:49 PM
Bobo (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Vikings.
Analysis: Bobo is now a healthy scratch for the second time in three weeks. He remains buried on the team's wide receiver depth chart and behind Rashid Shaheed as Seattle's punt returner. Bobo has just two catches for 20 yards in 2025. |
|
Jalen Milroe Jalen Milroe Serving as emergency QB
Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 1:44 PM
Milroe (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Vikings.
Analysis: The quarterback has been playing this role for much of the season as he remains behind Sam Darnold and Drew Lock on the depth chart. Milroe has only played on three offensive snaps as a rookie. |
|
Velus Jones Velus Jones Elevated for Week 13
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 5:34 PM
The Seahawks elevated Jones from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Jones will be available to play Sunday against the Vikings. He appeared in five regular-season games for the Saints before being cut in late October and mostly contributed on special teams. |
|
Myles Gaskin Myles Gaskin Signed to active roster
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 5:29 PM
The Seahawks signed Gaskin off the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Gaskin re-joined the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday, and he'll now be an official member of the team's active roster after George Holani (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve. Gaskin last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Vikings, when he appeared in five games and contributed mostly on special teams as a returner on kickoffs. |

George Holani George Holani Lands on IR
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 5:24 PM
The Seahawks placed Holani (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Holani was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings due to a hamstring injury he sustained against the Titans in Week 12. The injury is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on injured reserve, which means Holani will be required to miss at least the next four games, making him eligible to make his return in Week 17 against the Panthers on Saturday, Dec. 27. Rashid Shaheed and Cody White will handle return duties on kickoffs in Holani's absence, and Cam Akers and Myles Gaskin will provide backfield depth behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet. |

Kenneth Walker Kenneth Walker Good to go
Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 3:11 PM
Walker (glute) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: He played through the same injury last week and handled a season-high 67 percent snap share, continuing a recent trend of Walker taking the lion's share of Seattle's backfield work. Zach Charbonnet took only six carries last week, but he remains a threat for both goal-line carries and passing-down snaps, which often forces Walker to earn his fantasy points the hard way. |
