Seattle is known as a run-heavy offense, but there is actually some sneaky value in the Seahawks wide receivers for your fantasy football team.

Seattle has had a reputation since coach Pete Carroll took over as a run-heavy offense that didn’t produce enough passing yards to support much fantasy production for the Seahawks wide receivers.  That definitely wasn’t the case last year, though, and if they continue to allow Russell Wilson to make plays there could be some very nice value in the Seahawks wide receivers.

As we continue to get closer to fantasy football drafts, we’re taking a closer look at the important fantasy options on each NFL team throughout the preseason.  While most team’s just have one quarterback and one tight end that are noteworthy for fantasy, every team has multiple running backs and wide receivers that you need to know heading into draft season.

So far, we’ve looked at the wide receivers from the NFC North:  Packers, Vikings, Lions, and Bears‘  the AFC North: the Steelers, Browns, Bengals, and Ravens; and the AFC West  the Broncos, Chargers, Chiefs, and Raiders. Today we’ll start our look at the NFC West with a look at the Seahawks wide receivers
