KJ Wright Fantasy

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.

Seattle Seahawks linebacker KJ Wright is out for Sunday's game against Carolina due to recurring knee issues, and that makes Seattle's defense a questionable play. Carolina isn't exactly an offensive powerhouse, but Seattle has been ripped by patterns across the middle this year. The Panthers have hung a lot of points on a couple soft defenses recently, and fantasy owners should expect them to attack those middle zones just like Green Bay did last week. It can still turn out okay because of Seattle's coaching prowess, but it just rides a fine line that can fall apart if they catch a few bad bounces. Owners should probably look elsewhere this week.
