Teams Seattle Seahawks - The 12th Man

Noah Fant said he was frustrated with how he was used with the Broncos and views himself as a deep threat.​

Drafted in the first round by the Broncos in 2019, Fant spent all three of his Denver seasons under defensive-minded head coach Vic Fangio, whose offenses are what got him fired after last season. Fant said OC Pat Shurmur used him too close to the line of scrimmage in the flats and wanted him to break tackles. Fant views himself as a seam-stretcher, and he very well might be right on that. Only six of Fant's 88 targets last season were 20-plus yards downfield while his aDOT of 6.4 yards was tied for 27th among tight ends and less than that of Jack Doyle and Kyle Rudolph. Unfortunately for Fant, he's going to a Seattle offense that figures to be one of the worst in the league with Drew Lock currently under center. Seattle has been talking up Geno Smith as a potential competitor, but he needs to be re-signed first.

The Fantasy Doctors' Jesse Morse believes Seahawks RB Chris Carson (neck) likely underwent multi-level ACDF surgery.​

This would be the worse of the two fusion surgeries, as multi-level ACDF is harder to come back from. Ex-Giants RB David Wilson retired at age-23 after the surgery, while former Colts RB Ahmad Bradshaw returned in nine months. Carson was cleared to work out in June. The sixth-year veteran is committed to playing this year. Whether he'll be cleared comes down to Seattle’s training staff.
 

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Rashaad Penny is "feeling a little bit of groin tightness."​

"So we're just taking care of him," Carroll added. It does not sound like a serious issue, but any soft-tissue injury is a concern for a player with Penny's history. He almost certainly will not play in the first preseason game, and he could miss some practices next week as well. Penny appears to be ahead of Kenneth Walker on the depth chart right now, but that could change if he is on the sidelines for a couple of weeks.

Speaking Thursday, coach Pete Carroll said the Seahawks "would feel comfortable" with second-round rookie Kenneth Walker as a three-down back.​

Carroll said Walker has "turned the page" with his pass protection, and the team is far more comfortable with him playing all three downs. This is very notable information on the same day it was announced Rashaad Penny is sidelined again with a groin issue. ESPN's Brady Henderson again reiterated that Walker is "going to play a ton" as a rookie.

I haven't seen it but our offence looked a lot better in the first game with Lock at QB rather than Geno. Lock is a Lock for the QB1 spot at this point in time unless Geno has some serious dirt on Pete. Eason has no chance.
 
Let Drew Lock be the Gunslinger, and that's when you will see the good side of him.

Limiting his playbook to short passes will make him look ordinary. Denver never let him loose as a passer

Let him throw the football, its what he does well.

As a Mizzou fan, he was a joy to watch, had the ability to throw some big scores.
