K.J. Wright Fantasy

Seattle Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright ranked 16th at the position in fantasy points over the last five weeks. He has 43 tackles (21 solo), no sacks and four passes defended. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a midrange matchup for linebackers, and Wright doesn't carry a ton of upside. You can consider him as a flex option, but without much sack potential, he is reliant on tackles.

Seattle Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright had to be visited by the trainers after Alvin Kamara's touchdown run on Sunday, but he told the media after the game that he was fine. Wright said he just got the wind knocked out of him, and he should be good to go. That's a breath of fresh air for Seattle, who were saddled with their first loss of the season. Though New Orleans tallied 33 points, nowhere near all the blame hangs on the defense since 14 of those points were scored on a scoop-and-score fumble and a punt return. The Seattle defense did struggle to contain Kamara, but that's hardly a rare problem. With the whole squad healthy, the Seahawks Defense should be pretty solid moving forward.

The Seattle Seahawks will re-sign linebacker K.J. Wright for two years and up to $15.5 million on Thursday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 29-year-old missed 11 games last year with a knee injury, but he's a tackling machine when healthy. Before his injury last year, Wright had four straight seasons of 100-plus tackles, so he'll surely be an IDP force if he's healthy for Seattle. The heart of the Seahawks defense in the middle with Wright and Bobby Wagner will remain intact despite losing All-Pro safety Earl Thomas in free agency.
