Seattle Seahawks DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Seattle Seahawks tight end Pharaoh Brown (groin) returned to practice as a full participant during Tuesday's session. The 30-year-old was a limited participant during Monday's walkthrough, but appears to be feeling better now. That is good news for Brown as the Seahawks head into a Thursday night matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Brown has been quiet this season and had only one reception for seven yards last week. He figures to serve as depth with Noah Fant being the primary tight end and AJ Barner has started getting involved as well. Brown can be left on the waiver wire ahead of this Week 6 matchup.

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers should be another solid start in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks should find themselves in scoring positions consistently given how often the offense has operated in opponent territory in 2024. Myers has only missed three kicks in 2024. He sits as the K17 primarily due to a two-point dud in Week 4. However, he has scored at least seven fantasy points in every other game this season. Ironically, even though the Seahawks offense has been effective, they have stalled in opponent territory several times which has given Myers great chances to kick field goals. The Seahawks should be able to put up points against a good but not great 49ers defense in Week 6. Given the Seahawks' injuries on defense, they will likely need to score to keep up. You could do a lot worse than Myers as your kicker in Week 6.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (toe) continues to have a poor fantasy season. It does not look like things will get better in Week 6 against the San Francisco 49ers. In Fant's defense, the tight end position has been disappointing in fantasy in 2024. However, Fant has been especially bad. He has only cleared 5.4 fantasy points in one game this season. The 49ers are No. 10 against opposing tight ends in fantasy and should have no problem shutting down Fant with their talented linebackers and safeties. Despite the state of the position this season, it is best to look elsewhere. Fant is simply a secondary player in an offense loaded with high-end talent.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is a solid streaming option in Week 6 when the Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are 14th against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy in 2024. Smith has been very consistent in 2024 and has thrown for 1,466 yards and five touchdowns. He is coming off back-to-back games with at least 21.6 fantasy points and has a good chance to clear that number again in Week 6. With the Seahawks passing offense clicking in recent weeks, they should be able to put pressure on a 49ers defense that has not been as good as in years past. While this is not a huge bye week for fantasy-relevant quarterbacks, Metcalf could still fill in for any fantasy managers nursing injuries or underperformance at the position.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been wildly inconsistent in 2024. Smith Njigba has earned at least seven targets in three of five games this season. He has at least 51 yards or a touchdown in those three games. However, he has two games with three or fewer receptions and 39 or fewer yards. Smith-Njigba has been heavily involved in the Seahawks' game plans overall. His snap share has been in the high 80% and he is running a lot of routes. However, he still does not seem to have the same rapport or trust that veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett has with quarterback Geno Smith. Still, Smith-Njigba continues to flash his talent and should continue to build momentum as the season progresses. The San Francisco 49ers present a moderate challenge for Smith-Njigba in Week 6. They may choose to focus more on the Seahawks' top two wide receivers in DK Metcalf and Lockett. Hopefully, Smith-Njigba can have a solid day in Week 6. He enters the game as the WR26 in fantasy.
