Team Defense as a Fantasy Unit
Top fantasy defense entering 2026. Seahawks finished as the top-scoring DST last season, averaging 10.5 fantasy points per game. Early-season schedule is favorable with matchups against Patriots, Cardinals (likely without RB Jeremiyah Love or severely hobbled), and Commanders (starting LT Laremy Tunsil out, ranked 26th in offensive line). A premier streaming target through Week 3 (per 2026 fantasy football DSTs with good early schedules: Jaguars and Chiefs could help early - NBC Sports).
