Seattle Seahawks — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Seattle's defense has quietly built one of the more consistent turnover profiles in the league over the past three seasons. The Seahawks averaged 14 interceptions and 12 forced fumbles per year from 2023 through 2025, and their sack total has been remarkably stable — 47, 44, and 47 in those three seasons, averaging 46 per year. The 2025 campaign was arguably their best: 18 interceptions, 47 sacks, 5 defensive touchdowns, and only 292 points allowed — a meaningful improvement from 368 in 2024 and 402 in 2023. If you need a streaming-caliber DST with a demonstrated floor in turnovers and pass rush, Seattle has the track record to back it up.
What the model projects
The model projects Seattle at 119.7 half-PPR fantasy points for the 2026 season. That output places them at DST7 and #105 overall, landing in Tier 9 on the board. Their draft value sits at -9.3, meaning the projection falls below replacement level at the DST position in a standard 12-team half-PPR format. The numbers reflect a unit that produces at a respectable rate but does not project to deliver surplus value over what a drafter could reasonably acquire at the position later in a draft.
| INT | Sacks | FF | FR | TD | Saf | PA | Half-PPR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 11 | 47 | 13 | 8 | 3 | — | 402 | 116.0 |
| 2024 | 13 | 44 | 14 | 5 | 3 | 1 | 368 | 114.0 |
| 2025 | 18 | 47 | 9 | 7 | 5 | — | 292 | 136.0 |
| 3-yr avg | 14 | 46 | 12 | 6.7 | 3.7 | 0.3 | 354 | 122.2 |
The range of outcomes
Seattle's three-year history illustrates the variance inherent in DST scoring. Points allowed swung from 402 in 2023 down to 292 in 2025 — a 110-point improvement that directly affects fantasy output. Defensive touchdowns ranged from 3 to 5, and interceptions ranged from 11 to 18. Fumble recoveries have been less consistent, ranging from 5 to 8. The upside scenario leans on a repeat of the 2025 turnover pace — 18 interceptions and 5 touchdowns — while the downside looks more like 2023, when 11 interceptions and 402 points allowed suppressed the unit's fantasy ceiling. The bye in Week 11 is a mid-season roster management consideration worth noting.
How to draft him
Seattle does not have a market ADP available — they are not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to produce a reliable median pick number. That tells you most drafters are treating this as a waiver-wire or late-round add rather than a committed draft-day investment. Given a draft value of -9.3 and a projection that sits below replacement level, the math supports that approach. DST7 is a serviceable streaming option, but the position rank and tier suggest there is no urgency to spend a pick on Seattle early. If you do target them, do so only after your roster's core needs are addressed.

Questions drafters ask
The model projects them at 119.7 half-PPR points, ranking them DST7 and #105 overall in Tier 9. Their draft value of -9.3 puts them below replacement level, so the projection does not support committing a meaningful pick to them as a primary DST.
Very consistently — 47 sacks in 2023, 44 in 2024, and 47 in 2025, for a three-year average of 46 sacks per season.
Their 2025 season is the clearest upside benchmark: 18 interceptions, 47 sacks, 5 defensive touchdowns, and only 292 points allowed. Replicating that turnover and scoring rate would push their fantasy output well above the 119.7-point projection.
There is no market ADP available for Seattle, meaning they are not being consistently drafted across platforms. Combined with a below-replacement-level draft value, the data supports treating them as a waiver-wire target rather than a draft-day pick.
