Will Dissly Will Dissly Reps capped in practice
Fri, Sep 29, 2023, 9:38 PM
Dissly (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: After having his reps capped for both of the Seahawks' Week 4 practices, Dissly may need to upgrade to full activity Saturday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Monday's game against the Giants. While Dissly was sidelined for the Seahawks' Week 3 win over the Panthers, top tight end Noah Fant benefited from an expanded snap share (65 percent) and finished with four receptions for 41 yards on five targets. |

DK Metcalf DK Metcalf Logs full practice
Fri, Sep 29, 2023, 6:53 PM
Metcalf (ribs) was a full participant at Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Metcalf has been nursing a lingering rib injury, but his full participation at Friday's practice is a good sign for his status ahead of Monday's matchup with the Giants. He handled a lower snap share (72 percent) in Week 3 than he did the first couple games of the season, but he now appears to be trending in the right direction. Barring any setbacks, the fifth-year pass catcher is on track to take on his usual role on MNF. |

Will Dissly Will Dissly Participates in practice
Thu, Sep 28, 2023, 7:20 PM
Dissly (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: The tight end practiced after coach Pete Carroll said earlier in the day that he would be out. Dissly missed the previous three sessions with a shoulder injury lingering from Seattle's Week 2 win over Detroit. The starter may now have a chance to return for Monday night's game against the Giants. |

DK Metcalf DK Metcalf Still managing rib injury
Thu, Sep 28, 2023, 6:37 PM
Metcalf (ribs) didn't practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Metcalf is beginning Week 4 prep as he started Week 3, the result of a lingering rib injury. While he handled a lower snap share (72 percent) this past Sunday against the Panthers than he did in the first two games of the season, he actually put together his most productive performance (6-112-0 on eight targets) to date. It appears the Seahawks will manage Metcalf's on-field reps until he's past the current concern, and the extra day of rest ahead of Monday's road game versus the Giants should allow him to continue to be available to Seattle's offense. |

Will Dissly Will Dissly Missing Thursday's practice
Thu, Sep 28, 2023, 2:42 PM
Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Dissly (shoulder) won't practice Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Dissly will miss a fourth consecutive practice while he continues to tend to a shoulder injury that he picked up Week 2 in Detroit. Though he'll have the benefit of a longer turnaround between games with the Seahawks playing the Giants on Monday, Dissly will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday or Saturday to have any chance at avoiding the inactive list for a second straight contest. |

Jake Bobo Jake Bobo Scores in fourth quarter
Mon, Sep 25, 2023, 3:30 PM
Bobo was targeted twice and caught a five-yard touchdown pass in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Bobo logged 29 offensive snaps, which was just two snaps shy of first-round pick Jaxon Smith-Njigba. We shouldn't read into that too much, as Bobo's usage can be attributed more to his run-blocking acumen than his pass-catching abilities. Nevertheless, getting on the field this much as an undrafted rookie is certainly a plus. |

Noah Fant Noah Fant Puts up 41 yards
Mon, Sep 25, 2023, 3:26 PM
Fant recorded four catches (on five targets) for 41 yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Fant handled a 65 percent snap share because Will Dissly (shoulder) was inactive. In turn, Fant had four catches for the second week in a row while finishing third on the team in targets behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. It's unclear if Dissly will play Week 4 against the Giants. Fant's fantasy value is limited to deeper leagues, regardless. |

DeeJay Dallas DeeJay Dallas Three touches in win
Mon, Sep 25, 2023, 3:22 PM
Dallas recorded two carries for seven yards and caught his only target minus-two yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers. He also totaled 55 yards on two kick returns and 41 yards on three punt returns.
Analysis: Dallas has yet to play more nine offensive snaps in a game this season. He has been quite effective as a returner thus far, but his offensive usage will remain limited now that Zach Charbonnet is ramping up as the No. 2 behind Kenneth Walker. |

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Jaxon Smith-Njigba Held to one catch
Mon, Sep 25, 2023, 3:18 PM
Smith-Njigba caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Smith-Njigba logged 31 of 71 offensive snaps (44 percent), which was his lowest snap share of the season and barely ahead of fellow rookie Jake Bobo (41 percent). Bobo caught just one pass for a five-yard touchdown on two targets. It's certainly a little concerning that Smith-Njigba is essentially tied with an undrafted first-year player for snap share, but it's worth noting that the Seahawks ran the ball 29 times, and Bobo is considered a high-end run blocker. Still, fantasy managers haven't seen enough to trust Smith-Njigba in lineups, and they probably won't feel comfortable as long as DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are dominating the target share. |

Tyler Lockett Tyler Lockett Three grabs in Sunday's win
Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 9:34 PM
Lockett caught three of seven passes for 34 yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers. He also caught a two-point conversion.
Analysis: The 30-year-old wideout took a back seat to DK Metcalf in this one and couldn't repeat last week's two-TD performance, but Lockett was who Geno Smith looked for as he scrambled around on a two-point conversion attempt in the fourth quarter. Lockett hasn't produced much yardage yet in 2023, but that could change in Week 4 against a Giants secondary that just got torched for a 6-129-1 line by the 49ers' Deebo Samuel. |

DK Metcalf DK Metcalf Tops century mark in win
Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 9:22 PM
Metcalf caught six of eight targets for 112 yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: The fifth-year wideout was Geno Smith's top option on the day, although undrafted rookie jake Bobo caught the QB's only TD pass. Despite the fact that he nursed sore ribs in practice during the week, Metcalf topped 100 receiving yards in a game for the 10th time in his career in the regular season. He'll go for his 11th in Week 4 against a Giants defense that just surrendered a 6-129-1 line to the 49ers' Deebo Samuel. |

Zach Charbonnet Zach Charbonnet Best game yet in NFL
Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 9:16 PM
Charbonnet carried the ball nine times for 46 yards and caught one of two targets for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: The rookie running back nearly scored his first NFL touchdown on a 12-yard run in the red zone in the fourth quarter, but he was forced out of bounds at the two. It was Charbonnet's most productive game yet for Seattle, but he was still a distant second in usage and fantasy output to Kenneth Walker, who scored two rushing TDs for the second straight game and had more than double the touches. Charbonnet will look to build on this performance in Week 4 against a Giants defense that's allowed four rushing touchdowns to RBs through its first three games. |

Kenneth Walker Kenneth Walker Scores two TDs against Carolina
Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 9:11 PM
Walker carried the ball 18 times for 97 yards and two touchdowns and caught all three of his targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Both TDs came in the second half as the Seahawks pulled away, with Walker getting into the end zone on a one-yard plunge in the third quarter and a seven-yard run in the fourth. His 59 receiving yards were also a career high, topping the 55 yards he hauled in last year in Week 10. Walker appears headed for another productive day in Week 4 against a Giants defense that's allowed four rushing touchdowns to running backs through its first three games. |

Geno Smith Geno Smith Solid in Sunday's win
Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 9:04 PM
Smith completed 23 of 36 passes for 296 yards and one touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Panthers. He also threw a two-point conversion to Tyler Lockett.
Analysis: The pick was his first of the season and snuffed out a second-quarter drive, but it didn't end up costing his squad. Smith spread the ball around, completing passes to nine different Seahawks, but his lone TD went to undrafted rookie Jake Bobo on a five-yard strike in the fourth quarter. Smith will look to build on this performance in Week 4 against a Giants defense that just got gashed for 310 yards and two touchdowns by the 49ers' Brock Purdy. |

DeeJay Dallas DeeJay Dallas Will play Sunday
Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 1:50 PM
Dallas (illness) is active Sunday against the Panthers.
Analysis: Dallas popped up on the injury report Friday but he feels well enough to take the field Sunday. The fourth-year pro hasn't been involved much on offense, but he should continue being the team's No. 1 return man. |

Will Dissly Will Dissly Taking seat Sunday
Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 1:39 PM
Dissly (shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Panthers.
Analysis: Given he didn't practice all week and was considered doubtful to suit up Sunday, Dissly predictably will be in street clothes Week 3. With Dissly sidelined, Noah Fant and Colby Parkinson will split most of the TE reps for the Seahawks, while undrafted rookie Brady Russell also will be available. Dissly's next chance to play will arrive Monday, Oct. 2 at the Giants. |

DK Metcalf DK Metcalf Suiting up Sunday, as expected
Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 1:36 PM
Metcalf (ribs) is active for Sunday's game versus the Panthers.
Analysis: The Seahawks managed Metcalf's practice reps during Week 3 prep due to sore ribs, but he was able to return as a full participant Friday before the team deemed him questionable to play this weekend. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported early Sunday that Metcalf was expected to suit up, and indeed that has come to pass. There's no indication that Metcalf will be limited by the injury as he looks to build upon the 9-122-1 line on 11 targets he's accrued through two contests this season. |

DK Metcalf DK Metcalf Expected to play
Sun, Sep 24, 2023, 3:04 AM
Metcalf (ribs), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Metcalf played through the rib injury for much of last week's win over Detroit before missing practices Wednesday and Thursday. Metcalf was a full practice participant Friday, so Schefter's report adds credence to the notion that he'll play Sunday. However, official word on Metcalf's status won't arrive until Seattle releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. |

DK Metcalf DK Metcalf Full practice to finish week
Fri, Sep 22, 2023, 4:49 PM
Metcalf (ribs) was a full practice participant Friday despite being listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Full participation to close out the week all but confirms Metcalf will suit up after playing through the same injury during last week's overtime win over Detroit. Both he and coach Pete Carroll have consistently relayed optimism about the injury, so there's a good chance Metcalf is healthy enough to handle his usual role when the Seahawks and Panthers kick off at 4:05 p.m. ET this Sunday. |

DeeJay Dallas DeeJay Dallas Questionable for Week 3
Fri, Sep 22, 2023, 3:45 PM
Dallas (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Dallas was a new addition to the injury report Friday, and he won't have much time to get over this illness before the Panthers come to town Sunday. He has only four touches on offense behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet in the backfield through two games, but Dallas has also been operating as the team's top return man on special teams. Tre Brown and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are candidates to return kickoffs and punts, respectively, if Dallas' illness prevents him from suiting up Sunday. |
