Team news: Seattle Seahawks | Page 9

Seahawks star RB Chris Carson is retiring from the NFL due to a neck injury, sources say.

Seattle will officially release him with a failed physical designation. Under the CBA, that allows Carson to receive several million in injury protection benefits. Seattle does right by him, according to Rapoport. There were rumblings of this as far back as last year, given the nature of the injury. From a fantasy standpoint, this officially clears the way for Penny and Walker to take over a majority of the RB workload.

When I tell y’all Zay Jones is the Jaguars designated X Receiver, I ain’t kidding.

O'Brien went on to say between OTAs and the past two days: when Trevor Lawrence uncorks a pass, it’s always to Jones. Jones gained some momentum over the last seven games of 2021, when he hauled in 38 passes for 369 yards during that span for the Raiders. He's ranked just 103 on our WR list.

The Seattle Seahawks re-signed QB Geno Smith to a one-year deal.

Geno Smith? Who cares? You should. Smith got a pay raise to $7 million which is not traditional back-up QB money, especially with Drew Lock's history of mediocrity. Smith has a chance to be a bye week fill-in against the right opponent.

The third player traded to Seattle in the Russell Wilson deal is TE Noah Fant.

RIP Noah Fant, helloooooooo Albert O!

The Seattle Seahawks will be receiving QB Drew Lock as part of the deal that will send Russell Wilson to Denver.

RIP Seattle wide receivers!

The Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos have agreed to terms for a deal involving QB Russell Wilson, pending a physical and Wilson's approval.

Should this deal go through, the AFC West is loaded with fantasy-relevant talent and Wilson gets an upgrade in protection. More on details are made available.

Jaguars WR Laviska Shenault was removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Play him at your own risk.

Jaguars WR Laviska Shenault has been added to the reserve/COVID-19 list. He will miss Week 16's game against the New York Jets unless he tests negative Saturday and Sunday morning.

A disappointing season for Shenault hits another snag. He was barely a flex play with little usage the past month.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett has been activated from the reserve/COVID list.

Lockett missed Week 15 while in health and safety protocols but is set to return for Week 16. Russell Wilson looked lost without his most reliable receiver, so Lockett's return should help the offense operate more smoothly against the Chicago Bears. Lockett is currently our 11th ranked wide receiver for Week 16.
