Heading into the 2026 season, here are the biggest Seahawks bargains based on early fantasy expert consensus rankings

Fantasy expert consensus rankings (“ECR”) are starting to pop up across the Internet, giving managers an early glimpse into how the market might value hundreds of players this summer. As we look ahead to the 2026 season, here are the biggest Seattle Seahawks bargains based on ECR. Zach Charbonnet’s relatively modest RB37 ECR is based largely on his recovery from a torn ACL, which puts his Week 1 availability in doubt.

Yet he was the RB28 in points per game last year, and that while serving as the 1B running back behind Kenneth Walker. Seattle swapped out Walker for Emanuel Wilson, who’s nearly two years older than Charbonnet and who has barely half as many career touches. Even if Charbonnet misses a couple of contests, he should end up better than his RB37 ranking.

Sam Darnold (QB23 ECR) is undervalued for the third straight season -- a sign that experts still aren’t sold on one of the more compelling career turnarounds in recent NFL history. Darnold averaged only 28. 1 pass attempts last year.

He’ll probably be tasked to do more with what, on paper, appears to be a thinner backfield. A top-20 finish is realistic. Rashid Shaheed is a tempting get at his WR62 ECR.
