Seattle Seahawks — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Seattle's three-year track record is one of the more consistent DST profiles in recent memory. The unit has posted 47 sacks in both 2023 and 2025, with 44 in 2024, averaging 46 per season across that stretch. Interceptions have climbed each year: 11 in 2023, 13 in 2024, 18 in 2025, with a three-year average of 14. Touchdowns have averaged 3.7 per season, and the unit found the end zone five times in 2025 alone. Points allowed dropped sharply in 2025 to 292, down from 368 in 2024 and 402 in 2023, a three-year average of 354. For a DST drafter looking for a unit with a demonstrated floor in sacks and a rising ceiling in turnover production, Seattle's recent history makes a credible case.
What the model projects
The projection is 137.1 half-PPR fantasy points for the 2026 season. Seattle ranks DST6 at #97 overall and sits in Tier 9. The draft value is -8.7, meaning the projection lands below replacement level at the DST position in a 12-team half-PPR format. Seattle's bye week is Week 11.

The range of outcomes
The three-year aggregate tells a story of variance worth understanding before committing a pick. Points allowed swung from 402 in 2023 down to 292 in 2025. Touchdown returns ranged from 3 in both 2023 and 2024 to 5 in 2025. Interceptions moved from 11 to 18 over the same window. Fumbles forced have been relatively stable at 9 to 14 per season, while fumbles recovered have ranged from 5 to 8. The 2025 season represents the unit's best recent output across multiple categories; whether that level holds, regresses, or improves further is the central question the projection has to answer. Two games of 35-plus points allowed appeared in each of the last three seasons, a reminder that even a strong DST unit can have damaging weeks.
How to draft him
Seattle carries no market ADP in the current data, meaning the unit is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to produce a reliable median pick number. That makes it impossible to say with precision when other drafters will take them. What the model does say is that at DST6 and #97 overall with a negative draft value, Seattle projects as a late-round DST option rather than an early investment. The bye in Week 11 is worth noting for roster planning. Given the negative draft value, the standard approach is to treat Seattle as a streaming candidate or a late-round handcuff rather than a foundational pick.

Questions drafters ask
The model projects 137.1 points and a draft value of -8.7, placing Seattle below replacement level at the position in a 12-team half-PPR format. At DST6 and #97 overall, the ranking reflects a serviceable but not premium option. Most drafters treat a negative-draft-value DST as a streaming target rather than a locked-in starter.
Very consistent by recent history. The unit recorded 47 sacks in 2023, 44 in 2024, and 47 again in 2025, for a three-year average of 46. That is one of the more stable sack totals you will find in the FACTS provided.
It has improved each season. Interceptions went from 11 in 2023 to 13 in 2024 to 18 in 2025, averaging 14 over the three-year window. Fumbles forced averaged 12 per season, and fumbles recovered averaged 6.7. The trend in interceptions is the most notable piece of the turnover profile.
There is no market ADP available for Seattle in the current data, so a precise draft-slot answer is not possible. The model places them at #97 overall with a negative draft value, which points toward late-round DST territory. Plan for Week 11 as their bye when setting your roster.

Beyond the rankings
This page ranks the players. Nobody has ranked the people in your league.
Half your room drafts off a sheet like this one. The managers who cash every year aren't holding a better sheet; they have tendencies, and after enough seasons the tendencies are a book. Your league's own draft history is where it's written.
RotoAlpha reads it. Paste your past drafts, from any platform, and every manager in your league gets a profile: who reaches, who chases runs, who pays up for their own team. Then it sits with you on draft night with a plan that adapts pick by pick, knowing who is likely to reach next.
