Bobby Wagner Fantasy

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner is still in the upper echelon in tackles for this season, but that's not necessarily a good thing. The Seahawks Defense got lit up by the Bucs on Sunday as they hung 418 total yards and 34 points on Seattle. Wagner accounted for one of the defense's two sacks, but overall, Seattle struggled to put any consistent pressure on Jameis Winston. Winston completed over 56% of his passes for the first time in four weeks, and this was just his third game this season without an interception. Wagner and the rest of the Seahawks are going to need to do better if they're going to beat the 49ers next week. They should do so while living on someone's fantasy bench.

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner has been quiet the last five games slotting outside of the top 12 in fantasy points during the stretch. His matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is a midrange one, which may not push him back into LB1 status in individual defensive player leagues. He would be worth flex consideration.

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner told the media he was sad that he won't get to face off against Drew Brees when the Saints come to town on Sunday, but he's excited by Seattle's current approach of more linebackers at every turn. The Seahawks Defense leads the league in how often they run their base defense, which includes Wagner, K.J. Wright, and Mychal Kendricks at linebacker, and so far, it's proved pretty effective. While they got lit up a bit through the air in Week 1, Seattle has effectively shut down the running game so far this season. Expect them to continue to use this package a lot, and this week will be a real test since they'll be trying to keep Alvin Kamara under wraps.
