Making sense of the Seahawks fantasy football options

THE REST:

Beyond the guys listed here, the rest of the roster is a fantasy football crap shoot. Some Seahawk fans will draft Jermaine Kearse and Paul Richardson, but they shouldn’t. The same can be said of the bevy of rookie RB’s, no matter how much promise they hold. C.J. Prosise may emerge as an outstanding 3rd down and goal line back, but unless your league has extremely deep rosters that would allow you to stash a promising rookie, hold off. Wait until his role unfolds and then try to pounce.

Christine Michael is a mystery, and the one other guy who might be worth a late flyer. His rebirth since being re-acquired by the team late last year has been impressive, but I need to see more. With a healthy Rawls, what will Michael’s role be? Will he be used in goal line packages? Are his ball security issues behind him? Is this new-and-improved Michael here to stay?

With running backs such a precious commodity, feel good about taking him late and seeing how his role develops.

If he blows up and becomes a fantasy starter, you look like a genius.

But overall, try and keep your Seahawk blue heart in check and be as pragmatic as you can when drafting your hometown heroes in fantasy football.
