Pete Carroll on who’s leading the Seahawks QB competition: “I don’t even have to say that. Geno Smith’s still the number 1 guy. He’s holding that spot at this point.”

We have Lock slightly ahead of Smith at this point in our rankings but neither is a highly-desired fantasy option either. Still, in deeper superflex leagues, this is worth following.

Smith has taken all of the first-team reps with the starters outside of the mock game.

The article would go on to mention that Lock had "appeared to be the better quarterback in the scrimmage." Neither option is genuinely going to affect the skill positions in Seattle positively, but it would be nice to know the starter for late-round 3-QB builds on Underdog and deep Superflex leagues. Lock is the better option to potentially offer DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett a little more upside.

Now one of the sport's highest-paid receivers, 24-year-old DK Metcalf will have an opportunity to cash in another pay day in his prime years.

The Seattle Seahawks may be without possible future Hall of Famer Russell Wilson, but at least they will offer whoever wins this putrid quarterback competition one of the best young wide receivers in the game. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett will reprieve their tag team role at least one more time, but it's unclear if there will be another viable pass-game option after the duo and, possibly, Noah Fant.

Still Geno Smith running the first-team offense, Drew Lock the 2s to begin Seahawks training camp.

The tweet added Lock did get a couple of ones reps with the starting offensive line in an 11-man offense. But it was Smith who got a lot of the first team reps during offseason workouts as well, and, at least as of now, looks to have the upper hand at the QB1 spot.

The Seattle Seahawks re-signed QB Geno Smith to a one-year deal.

Geno Smith? Who cares? You should. Smith got a pay raise to $7 million which is not traditional back-up QB money, especially with Drew Lock's history of mediocrity. Smith has a chance to be a bye week fill-in against the right opponent.

During his radio hit on KIRO 97.3 FM Friday, Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said that QB Russell Wilson (finger) will start Week 10 at Green Bay. Carroll also said WR D'Wayne Eskridge (concussion) is likely to play, while RB Chris Carson (neck) is a game-time decision.

The Seahawks offense survived without Russ and appear to be on their way to being full strength for the first time since Week 1.

Russell Wilson is back. The eight-time Pro Bowl quarterback has been sidelined since fracturing a finger in his throwing hand in the Seattle Seahawks' loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5, and has been on injured reserve ever since, working his way back to taking the field. His goal was to be ready for Week 10 when the Seahawks take on the Green Bay Packers, and he's achieved it, being medically cleared to start on Nov. 14, per CBS Sports NFL insider Jason La Canfora.

Wilson has gone through his pregame on-field routine each week the story said. With Smith under center the team went just 1-2 so Wilson is coming back just in time and he should resume his status as a fantasy QB1 starting this week.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson‘s recovery from surgery on his right middle finger took a step forward on Monday.

Wilson tweeted a picture of one of the pins that he had removed from his finger and captioned it “No more pin. Time to Win.”

The Seahawks have a bye this week and Wilson will be eligible to return when they face the Packers in Week 10, the story said. Week 10 seems to have been the target date for Wilson since the injury but we likely won't know more until the middle of next week once the team is back from their bye week.

Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (finger) is expected to miss one month and up to 6-to-8 weeks, according to Jeremy Fowlers' sources.

This is a season-altering injury in real and fantasy football. Geno Smith is the Seahawks starter. Jake Luton is on the team's practice squad.

Speaking after the game, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll called the injury a "badly sprained finger" and said it was too early to put a timetable on Russell Wilson's return. Carroll said he didn't know if Wilson will need surgery.

The good news is the Seahawks have a few extra days to get a plan in place for Wilson. The bad news is surgery has not been ruled out, which would put Wilson and the Seahawks offense in a precarious position.
