Seattle Seahawks DT Byron Murphy II finished with five total stops, including two of the solo variety, with 1.5 sacks, a tackle for loss and three quarterback hits in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks LB Ernest Jones finished with 10 total tackles, including eight solo stops, in the Week 2 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner posted two receptions for 26 yards and a touchdown on three targets in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also had a 2-yard rush on his only attempt.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks TE Elijah Arroyo posted two receptions for 31 yards on three targets in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks WR Tory Horton posted two receptions for 32 yards and his first NFL touchdown in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp pulled down seven balls for 90 yards on nine targets in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Footballguys view: Kupp was a non-factor in Week 1, but he caught a bunch of short passes from Sam Darnold in stride to add some yards after catch and post a solid fantasy showing. He'll be a WR3/Flex play against the Saints next week after Seattle was more balanced and productive on offense this week. |

Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba registered game highs with eight receptions, 103 yards and 10 targets in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet ran 15 times for just 10 yards in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while he was not targeted in the pass game.
Footballguys view: Combine this performance with Kenneth Walker's 100+ yard game on only 13 carries, and Charbonnet is back to being mostly a bench stash in case of Walker injury - which is not a remote possibility. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III rushed 13 times for 105 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while cashing in his only target for a 13-yard reception.
Footballguys view: Walker's burst was back and the Seahawks used him more early in the game than they did last week. After he clearly outplayed Zach Charbonnet, Walker should be in line for even more work against the Saints next week. |
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold completed 22-of-33 passes for 295 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he did not have a rushing attempt.
Footballguys view: Darnold was ineffective when he wasn't throwing to Jaxon Smith-Njigba last week, and he coughed up the ball with a chance to win on the line. He had a few regrettable decisions this week, but overall was much better against a shorthanded Steelers pass defense. He got Cooper Kupp and the tight end duo involved this week and allowed the Seahawks to have a balanced offense. Darnold is back in consideration as a superflex/QB2 against the Saints next week. |

Seattle Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (ankle) will not be placed on the Reserve/Injured list because of his ankle injury, according to head coach Mike Macdonald.
Link to storyFree-agent WR Cody White (Seahawks) was signed to the Seattle Seahawks practice squad Friday, Sept. 12.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (ankle) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. CB Devon Witherspoon (knee) did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful. S Julian Love (groin) was limited in practice on Friday but is expected to play. LB Ernest Jones (shoulder), LB Uchenna Nwosu (knee), DL Jarran Reed (back), and WR Dareke Young (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.
Footballguys view: Aaron Rodgers will likely get to dodge Witherspoon, and Riq Woolen, the Seahawks other long/fast/physical corner, had some major lapses last week. The Seahawks second round pick, Emmanwori, was seen as a potential x-factor who could make splash plays early in the season, so Pittsburgh is lucky to avoid him too. If the pass rush doesn't get home, the Steelers could have some success throwing downfield against the Seahawks. |

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold dropped back to pass 26 times in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, but he used play-action just two times. That's a 7.7 percent play-action rate, which was the lowest among all 33 NFL quarterbacks in Week 1. The two times Darnold used play-action, he hit WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a 21-yard completion, and he had a 5-yard scramble which led to a first down.
Footballguys view: It would make sense if the Seahawks ran more play-action fakes for Darnold to attack down the field. It's a Klint Kubiak offense, so that should mean tons of play-action passing. Darnold can work in Kubiak's offense, but things were a bit off in Week 1. Let's see if they can clean it up for Week 2 against the Steelers. Fantasy GMs aren't starting Darnold unless they're in start-2 QB leagues (and he's a low-end no2 QB). |

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III played just 21 of the team's 52 offensive snaps in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, while RB Zach Charbonnet was on the field for 30 of the 52 snaps. 'We're not tallying reps as the game goes on,' head coach Mike Macdonald said Tuesday, Sept. 9, 'but a lot of it's based on how the game's going and what plays guys run better and things like that.'
Link to storySeattle Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (ankle) has been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain, and head coach Mike Macondald said the team may consider placing Emmanwori on the Reserve/Injured list.

Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker rushed 10 times for 20 yards and caught three passes for four yards in a 17-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet rushed 12 times for 47 yards and a touchdown in a 17-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1.
Footballguys view: So the question is, who is the Seahawks' No. 1 running back? Kenneth Walker III got the start, but Charbonnet got most of the work. He out-snapped Walker 29- 20. Walker had 13 touches for 24 yards. As Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke notes, there are reasonable arguments toward this backfield going in either running back's direction. Walker is coming back from injury and could both play better and more once he's healthier. Charbonnet played better this week, which could earn him more playing time going forward. It's something we'll watch closely heading into Seattle's Week 2 tilt with the Steelers. |

Seattle Seahawks WR Tory Horton (ankle) participated in practice Thursday, Aug. 28. Head coach Mike Macdonald said the team hopes Horton will be a full participant at some point next week.
Footballguys view: Horton is set to open the season as the #3 receiver if he is healthy enough to play. #4 receiver Jake Bobo is in concussion protocol. It's possible that Dareke Young or Cody White will see snaps at wide receiver in the season opener against the 49ers. |
Free-agent WR Courtney Jackson was signed to the Seattle Seahawks practice squad Thursday, Aug. 28. The team also released RB Anthony Tyus III from the practice squad.
Footballguys view: Jackson was impressive for the Broncos this summer in training camp and the preseason. He's a speedy receiver with the ability to be a return man as well. In crazy deep dynasty formats we'll keep an eye on him. |

Seattle Seahawks WR Ricky White III was waived Tuesday, Aug. 26, according to a source.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling was released on Tuesday, Aug. 26.
Footballguys view: According to Tacoma News Tribune staffer Gregg Bell, the Seahawks tried trading MVS but there were no suitors. The Seahawks signed Valdes-Scantling in March after his brief stint with the Saints, where he had several big plays under current Seahawks coordinator Klint Kubiak. His abilities as a deep threat (despite his notoriously inconsistent hands) were the reason for bringing him on board, especially after the Seahawks traded away DK Metcalf. As SBNation's Mookie Alexander noted, the emergence of fifth-round rookie Tory Horton, who eventually took first-team offensive reps late in camp and in preseason, was a factor here. |
