Seattle Seahawks' Wide Receiver

 Wide Receiver

T.J. Houshmandzadeh - Houshmandzadeh had a pretty nice thing going for him in Cincinnati with Chad Ochocinco garnering the attention and Houshmandzadeh getting receptions and touchdowns. But he opted for the "big bucks" and has produced two mediocre seasons in Seattle. It looks like more of the same for 2010 which means he'll have a couple of decent games during the season, but he won't put up the "75-catch, 975-yard, nine touchdown seasons" we were used to in Ohio. He has value as a late No.2 or early No.3 receiver, but his ADP of 90 might be a little overpriced.

Golden Tate - The rookie has a chance to start on Opening Day across from Houshmandzadeh and have an immediate fantasy impact. That is of course, if he can beat out second-year receiver Deon Butler and veteran Deion Branch and Hasselbeck stays healthy. Those are a lot of "ifs" but with an ADP of just 139, it might be worth the gamble.

Deion Branch - Branch hasn't played a full season since he left New England and hasn't been a fantasy factor since then either. Perhaps he should have seen the value in staying with Tom Brady and the Patriots' offense. Given his production over the past four years, his injury history and the question marks at quarterback, I have to believe you can find a better option. Neither Deon Butler, Ben Obomanu nor former USC first-round bust Mike Williams should have any fantasy value in 2010.

Tight End

John Carlson - Carlson got off to a great start in 2009 with six receptions for 95 yards and two scores in Week 1. Unfortunately, it was downhill after that as the weak offensive line left him blocking more than going out for passes. Hopefully, the addition of Russell Okung from Oklahoma State will help stabilize the line and allow Carlson to catch the ball again, but that's not a guarantee. Fantasy owners apparently don't think the Seahawks did enough for the line because Carlson has dropped from the No.9 tight end off the board in 2009 to an ADP of 158 and the 16th tight end off the board in 2010.
 
Quarterback

Matt Hasselbeck - As recently as 2007, Hasselbeck was a starting fantasy quarterback, throwing for almost 4,000 yards and 28 touchdowns. However, time, a bulging disc in his back and a bad shoulder have left the  Seattle Seahawks quarterback as a huge question mark. And most fantasy players don't want a question at quarterback which explains his ADP of 191 and his being around the 27th quarterback off the board. If he can avoid back problems, Hasselbeck could once again help a fantasy lineup because the Seahawks have added weapons and just as importantly improved the offensive line in front of him. Still, if you are considering him for a major role on your roster, you better have another quarterback who can carry the load, too.

Charlie Whitehurst - Should Hasselbeck get hurt again, or start out slowly, there is a distinct possibility that new head coach Pete Carroll will give Whitehurst a shot. With almost no information on Whitehurst's ability to play at the NFL level (his entire pro career consists of two rushing attempts for 13 yards and a touchdown back in 2006), I can't recommend him at this time, even as a "handcuff" to Hasselbeck.

 Seattle Seahawks running back Quinton Ganther of Richmond was arrested Saturday morning on suspicion of DUI in Sacramento.

Ganther, a John F. Kennedy High of Richmond graduate, was booked into the Sacramento County main jail at 6:50 a.m., according to the Seattle Times. The California High Patrol arrested Ganther around 3:15 a.m. in downtown Sacramento.

Ganther, who turns 26 on July 15, joined the Seahawks as a free agent during the offseason after playing last season with the Washington Redskins. The Oakland-born Ganther is expected to compete for a role as a backup running back and special teams player. Ganther spent his first three seasons with the Tennessee Titans as a role player.
