As we race toward August, Footballguys.com will look at one team per day with our quick-hitting Team Vibes and Players to Target and Avoid, where we check out the overall mood of each team's offense and let you know the players we are in on (because they are great values at the cost it takes to acquire them) and who we're out on (because they are too expensive and won't give you a good return on that investment).

Seahawks, Team Vibes

• Good - 15
• Neutral - 2
• Bad - 0

Staffers with Good Vibes

• Chad Parsons: I love that Seattle doubled down on Geno Smith with a new contract and no Round 1 competition breathing down his neck, plus added notable pedigree at running back and wide receiver.
• Ben Cummins: Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Zach Charbonnet provide even more talent to an already exciting offense.
• Daniel Harms: An Improving offensive line and adding more weapons to the offense for Geno Smith? Sign me up.
• Phil Alexander: Last year's most surprising offense gets younger and better with the additions of Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Zach Charbonnet.
• Jeff Bell: Few teams have as much skill talent, and Geno Smith was more capable of propping them up.
• Dan Hindery: The combination of an ascending young offensive line, solid veterans, and a pair of talented rookies added to the mix gives this offense plenty of upside.
• Jason Wood: Returning nucleus with an improving offensive line and massive depth upgrades in Smith-Njigba and Charbonnet.
• Jeff Tefertiller: Strong returning offense and young defense. The lines are improving, and draft capital was used at the skill positions.
• Jeff Haseley: A career year for Geno Smith in 2022, and the offense has improved at both running back and wide receiver.
• Dave Kluge: Geno Smith proved he belongs as an NFL quarterback, and the additions of Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Zach Charbonnet will make his job even easier.
• Joey Wright: Seattle was one of three teams to finish with two top sixteen wide receivers in PPR leagues.
• Ryan Weisse: Consistency at quarterback with improvements at running back and wide receiver should mean good things for fantasy.
• Andy Hicks: It all relies on Geno Smith being as good or better than last year
• Christian Williams: Both sides of the ball trend upward, and the scene is set for a division title run.
• Sam Wagman: A playoff berth last year, coupled with additions on both sides of the football, should result in plenty of good vibes for the Seahawks

Staffers with Neutral Vibes

• Matt Montgomery: There is definitely a buzz about this Seahawks and Geno Smith resurgence. But their offense was still only 13th in the NFL, and they were in a division that way underperformed and was riddled with injuries to top talent.
• Justin Howe: The offense dipped from 27 PPG to 19 down the stretch, and the talent they've added impresses me less than most.

Staffers with Bad Vibes

• None.
