Seattle’s secondary took a bruising Week 5 as Riq Woolen departed with a concussion, leaving Nehemiah Pritchett to hold down the corner spot while Devon Witherspoon and Julian Love sat. Baker Mayfield attacked Seattle’s thin coverage for 379 yards and two touchdowns, and a late Sam Darnold performance capped the heartbreak with a 38-35 loss. Derick Hall also missed action, compounding the depth issues as Seattle looks toward Week 6 against Jacksonville with hopes for healthier bodies in the secondary.

The looming question for fantasy managers: how thin is Seattle’s CB depth, and who steps up when Witherspoon and Love return? The Jaguars test the unit immediately, so attention shifts to who fills roles, how much Seattle relies on rookies, and whether the offense can keep pace behind the evolving injury picture.

Sam Darnold dazzled Seattle with 341 passing yards and four touchdowns, but two late miscues cost the Seahawks in a 38-35 loss to Tampa Bay. A final-minute interception followed a scramble pressure sequence and a topper to Lavonte David off a deflection, sealing the defeat after Seattle had rolled five straight scoring drives. The Week 1 fumble at Lumen Field looms as another reminder that late-game ball security remains a responsibility.

Fantasy managers must weigh Darnold's explosive ceiling against the risk of crunch-time miscues. Seattle's offense flashed, AJ Barner remains a trusted target, and the Seahawks sit at 3-2 as they gear up for the next challenge.
