How good will Housh be this year? (1 Viewer)

Since I traded him away he should be good for 1200 yds and 14 TDs

He's being drafted as a high WR2 in most leagues. He will line up at flanker and be the most targeted Seattle WR. Barring injury that will make him worth a high WR2. He is as good a red zone option as anyone else on the team. If you drafted him as a WR3 then that was a good pick.

I think he's a solid WR1 this year. Anyone thinking he won't even be a WR3 is seriously misinformed.

I think that is an urban myth. Somebody looked at it and the success/failure rate was more like 50/50.My thinking here is that I don't see much of a running game. Bringing Edge in off the scrap heap is very telling. The D should be better but I doubt it's going to be that much better. To me that says pass, pass, pass, pass, pass. And outside of Carlson who are they going to throw it to?
Burleson, Branch, and the RBs

He's a tremendous WR3 but where he was going in most of my drafts I'm not entirely confident he can live up to. He seemed to be going at the end of WR1's and beginning of WR2's. I like him, I think they will throw the ball on Seattle and I'm not exactly sure what my hang up with him is but I just don't know if he's a true WR1. He's always had the Chad Johnson crutch and he was always drawing the double coverage which left Housh singled up all day. While I think he's a good WR and I think perfectly suited for his role on Cincy I just don't know if he's got the speed or athleticism to handle the double coverages that he'll be getting every snap.
I'm interested to see how this turns out this year.

Thank you for proving the point my friend. And those of you in deep keeper leagues keep an eye out on Butler. He may not start strong (Eddie Royal of 2008 if you will) but if he starts putting a string of 5 and 6 catch games snag him off the WW before he goes off for 100 and 2Burleson, Branch, and the RBs

Didn't Branch get cut?Burleson, Branch, and the RBs
Good point on Butler, I forgot to mention him. I got him for $2 I think in the subscriber contest.Thank you for proving the point my friend.

Hasselbeck looks solid and the defense in Seattle looks up and coming . Mora Jr seems to have the Seahawks going. I think eventually Deon Butler takes the #2 role ( he should be #2 right now with his preseason play ) and serves as the big playmaker. I see a typical Housh season. 90 rec - 1050 yds and 9-10 scores.
I think the real value is with Butler right now on many Waiver wires still.

Well said - that's exactly where I see things. The big test is whether he can withstand extra coverage that will be rolling his way. He'll surely get a lot of targets, but I'm a bit skeptical that he'll come close to the reception totals he put up in Cincy.Carlson is the guy I really like in the Seattle receiving department.

With all the options at WR, I avoided Carlson this year. Hass has always favored his WRs and Carlson stepped up last year when there were hardly any other options. I also recall that he did better when Hass wasn't in the line-up last year. And maybe more focus on helping in the run game. Sorry for the hijack. Housh should be solid but his ADP was a bit high for me. 10 yard slants all day for Housh.
Muahahaha

The Seattle Seahawks as a TEAM threw 18 passing TDs last year.....Even if you assume a big leap up to 24 Tds, you are assuming Housh gets half of them.He could be a good WR2, but this offense as a whole ain't going to roll well enough to get WR1 out of him.

they had 30 passing TDs in 2007. you know, that year they didn't IR their starting 5 WRs.drfeelgood

I like Carlson this year. They have a new coach, a new OC, and are supposed to use several 2 TE sets, and Carlson is the receiving TE.
Up and coming? Really?
IMO, their secondary looks atrocious and they still don't have a pass rush. Curry looks like a good young player but don't forget he is replacing Julien Petersen who certainly wasn't the problem on defense last year.
With Trufant out I expect their secondary to get exploited week after week.
Of course, that might actually help a guy like TJ though because the Seahawks will probably be forced into a lot of passing situations.

I mentioned this in the Hasselbech thread...
It strikes me as odd that nobody seems at all concerned about the "undisclosed" "general soreness" injury which kept Housh out of the pre-season finale and more importantly missing practice since Aug 31.
I wish we had more to go on with this mystery ailment. There's not a peep on Roto about it and just a couple of sniglets on the FBG blogger (linked below). I find it troubling. Does anybody have better info to share on this?

Housh in Cincy was a guy who frequently missed practice but always played. I think the guy just doesn't like to practice too much. There is no reason for concern yet.
Muahahaha

Ok, and 26 in 2006 and 25 in 2007. What looks like the outlier? I agree they had a lot injuries last year, but those same players are two years older and are still trying to get over nagging effects from the injuries. It wouldn't exactly bet that Hasselbeck will be back to a spring chicken this year. There hasn't really been an influx of young rising talent on the line or in their receivers. Some improvement is to be expected, but Walter Jones isn't exactly in peak condition.they had 30 passing TDs in 2007. you know, that year they didn't IR their starting 5 WRs.

I would agree that the Seattle D is on the rise, but that's not saying much. And this year having a crappy D and not much running game is what will help his numbers, not hurt them.

Im not high on Housh, but he slipped to the 68th pick in my draft and he was clearly the guy to pick. I think 1000 yards and 7 TDs are basically his floor, and Id expect more like 1150/9.
Unless its PPR, surprised to hear people saying he's being drafted as a high WR2. Id say in most of the drafts Ive been in, he's gone low WR2 or WR3 and lasted until the 5th or 6th round.

Using standard scorring - non ppr - this stat line would have allowed him to finish 8th last year and 11th two years ago. Are you sure that you aren't high on him? Even your projected "floor" for him would have been enough to give him WR19 last year. FWIW, I think he has a real shot to finish top 10 in non-ppr formats. In ppr, he will put up huge numbers..

He should be good because he's easily the best receiver on a team that should throw the ball a lot

Pretty much sums it up...

I forget what I actually projected him to have, but I think its somewhere in between the 1000-1150 and 7-9 numbers.Maybe I like him more than I thought, it just seems like in the drafts Ive been in he slips further than he should.
That is true, but they will also be throwing to the RBs and TEs more in Seattle than they ever did in Cincy.

i think Housh represents very good value this year. he could easily be a top 10 WR this yr in fantasy.
1. crappy division, hawks should score a lot of points.
2. Housh is a MONEY possession receiver, and will get LOTS of targets.
3. the biggest thing is if Hass can stay healthy. if so, Housh will be his go-to

They just acquired Edge - I would expect them to be throwing to him out of the backfield quite a bit.

I think Housh is going to have a solid season and be a WR2 this season. Seahawk offense is going to suprise people with the numbers they put up this year. I personally think Nate Burleson is not getting enough love this year as a WR4 option for solid depth. Have him at WR5 on a couple teams. Deon Butler is getting love because he is the new shiney toy on the team, he has a bright future at this point.

Thanks.Ive got to decide between he and Bowe. Im going with Housh barring any setbacks just on the matchup.CBS had this:"Seahawks WR T.J.
