Seattle Seahawks rookie cornerback Coby Bryant could start right away opposite Sidney Jones this year, given the strong impression he's made so far in offseason workouts. The fourth-rounder will be competing with the likes of Tre Brown, Artie Burns and fellow rookie Tariq Wooley in training camp next month. Bryant played his college ball at Cincinnati and was a first-team All-American in his final season while recording 46 tackles, a team-high 14 passes defensed and three interceptions. The 23-year-old has impressed so far, but the fact that he's a candidate to start right away might be more of an indictment of how weak Seattle's secondary is heading into the 2022 season.
Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny was in attendance during the club's recent minicamp. The 26-year-old has dealt with more than enough injuries over the years. However, he recently reported feeling "amazing," so hopefully, he will continue to stay that way. The former San Diego State Aztec is coming off the best season of his career by finishing 2021 with 749 yards and six touchdowns off 119 touches. With Chris Carson (neck) uncertain for Week 1 and beyond, Penny could cement his spot atop the depth chart. He only signed a one-year deal with Seattle this offseason, so he may have some extra incentive to remain healthy and on the field during the 2022-23 campaign. Managers should keep an eye on him, especially for those who need a back later during fantasy drafts.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf didn't attend the team's recent mandatory minicamp. The wideout was at voluntary OTAs, so it now appears that things are moving in the wrong direction as the 24-year-old searches for a new deal. Over the years, the former Ole Miss Rebel has been an effective fantasy performer, compiling 216 catches for 3,170 yards and 29 touchdowns throughout his first three seasons in the league. Yet, with Russell Wilson now in Denver, it's possible Metcalf's production could decrease, although he should continue to be a reliable option in all fantasy formats.
Seattle Seahawks safeties Jamal Adams (shoulder, fingers) and Quandre Diggs (ankle, leg) took part in the team's mandatory minicamp this week and are both expected to be ready when training camp begins in late July. Both Adams and Diggs had surgery for their injuries last year, while Adams also said he had surgery to fuse the two middle fingers on his left hand. Adams is hoping the surgeries will solve chronic injuries he's had in his two seasons with the Seahawks. Adams and Diggs are "feeling good" now, and Adams said he has no limitations now. Adams went without a sack last year a year after setting an NFL record for defensive backs by recording 9.5 sacks in just 12 games in 2020. When healthy, Adams is the best fantasy defensive back in IDP settings, while Diggs is also plenty valuable.
Seattle Seahawks head coach said that rookie running back Kenneth Walker III and wide receivers Bo Melton and Dareke Young have all been dealing with hamstring issues during mandatory minicamp this week. The hamstring injuries probably aren't too serious, but the Seahawks won't take any chances with a month to go before training camp. Walker could have a significant opportunity in his first NFL season if Chris Carson (neck) can't recover from a serious neck injury in time for the regular season. We all know about Rashaad Penny's extensive injury history as well, so between Carson and Penny's injury history, Walker could step into significant snaps at some point in 2022.
