Seattle’s offseason overhaul did not spark in Week 1, as the Seahawks fell 17-13 to San Francisco. 50 plays yielded 230 yards (4.6 per) and a stifled attack that converted 3 of 10 third downs, with most yardage coming on a single Jaxon Smith-Njigba target on a late third-quarter drive. The game exposed early timing issues for Klint Kubiak’s new offense and suggested Seattle must rely on growth from a reimagined line and young weapons.

Turnovers hampered Seattle’s chances, including late fumbles by Smith-Njigba and Sam Darnold. Grey Zabel and Jalen Sundell anchored interior protection, but the unit still looked months from seamless execution. With a full offseason to mesh, fantasy managers should watch for improved rhythm as Seattle’s pass-catching corps—led by Smith-Njigba—gains comfort with Darnold and the new scheme.
