The Seattle Seahawks’ defense and special teams unit has a compelling case to enter the 2026 season as fantasy football’s top overall D/ST. Seattle marches into the 17-game slate with a Super Bowl-winning ensemble equipped to score the most fantasy points on the year.
Yahoo Sports’ Justin Boone ranked the Seahawks’ D/ST No. 1 overall in the league for next season at the slot.
In Yahoo Fantasy Football scoring last season, the Seahawks D/ST helped team managers win leagues. The ensemble gave fantasy managers a reliable weekly production from end to end last season.
Yahoo Fantasy Football projects Seattle’s D/ST to remain among the league’s strongest fantasy units in 2026. The Seahawks are anticipated to rack up a high amount of sacks, interceptions,
fumble recoveries and total defensive points next season. Special teams is also expected to produce at a high level in 2026.
The matchups on Seattle’s schedule will still matter, but the team’s collection of elite stars in that fantasy football slot, combined with their depth and consistency makes the Seahawks a worthy candidate to be the first fantasy D/ST selected in 2026.
