Seattle Seahawks DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo was the No. 50 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after securing 35 receptions for 590 yards and seven touchdowns in his final campaign at Miami. The 22-year-old led the Hurricanes in yards per reception (16.9) while catching passes from Cam Ward. So far at OTAs, Seahawks brass is impressed with his ability and versatility. "This guy can run an extensive route tree," head coach Mike Macdonald said. "To have to account for a tight end body on the field and him also to be able to split out wide, do X receiver type of things, bigger body than we probably have right now on our roster, just provides a ton of value." While tight ends often take time to develop in the NFL, Arroyo could operate as a downfield threat for Sam Darnold. Wideouts Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp operate in the short to intermediate parts of the field, so there's room for Arroyo to make splash plays. Arroyo is unlikely to be a consistent fantasy producer in traditional formats, but he could be worth a late-round dart throw in best ball drafts.

The Seattle Seahawks announced the signing of undrafted rookie wide receiver Nate McCollum, according to team reporter Brady Henderson. McCollum participated in the New York Giants' rookie camp earlier this month but is now getting a shot with a second organization. McCollum began his career at Georgia Tech and played three seasons for the Yellow Jackets before two years with North Carolina. Overall, he tallied 143 receptions for 1,521 yards and five touchdowns in 49 career games. It would be a surprise if McCollum is on the fantasy football radar in 2025, and he'll likely have an uphill battle to make the team's active roster.

The Seattle Seahawks officially re-signed defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Hankins will return for his second season in Seattle after recording 30 tackles (15 solo), one sack, five tackles for loss and his first career interception in 17 games (eight starts). The 33-year-old former second-rounder (49th overall) by the New York Giants in 2013 out of Ohio State isn't on the fantasy radar in IDP fantasy leagues and will be competing for a starting spot at nose tackle this summer in training camp. Hankins had a career-high seven sacks back in his second season in the league in 2014. Since then, he hasn't had more than three sacks in a season with 18.5 total in his 169 games played (142 starts).
