The Seattle Seahawks are entering their bye week nine games into the 2024 season. With a break in the action this weekend, this would be a good opportunity to take a look at some different Seahawks offensive players and their individual stats thus far and where they could be on pace to end the season.

This article looks at the most important statistical results that players provide. For example, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba has one completion for 35 yards, we don’t expect him to throw another pass this season as his main statistical output is receiving stats. Additionally, all expected statistics ending in a decimal are rounded up if greater than 0.5. For example, projected 475.6 yards is rounded to 476 projected yards. With all this said, let’s get started right away.

Stats for defensive players will be discussed next week.

Geno Smith

Current statistics (nine games):

• 233 completions, 2,560 passing yards, 11 passing touchdowns, 10 interceptions
• 193 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown.

Expected final stats:

• 440 completions, 4,836 yards, 21 touchdowns, 19 interceptions
• 365 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns

So far, Smith has led the NFL in passing yards through nine games. If he keeps up this pace, he will break his own single-season record for passing yards (4,282 yards), attempts (572) and completion records (399) that he set in 2022. These stats alone, along with a 68.1 completion percentage, shows just how much of a bargain Seattle currently has at quarterback, despite what some 12s online might say.

Kenneth Walker

Current stats (seven games):

• 99 carries, 398 rushing yards, six touchdowns
• 30 receptions, 217 receiving yards, one receiving touchdown

Expected final stats:

• 187 carries, 752 yards, 11 rushing touchdowns
• 57 receptions, 409 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns

Zach Charbonnet

Current statistics (nine games):

• 61 carries, 213 rushing yards, four rushing touchdowns
• 25 receptions, 189 receiving yards, one receiving touchdown

Projected final statistics

• 115 has 402 rushing yards, eight rushing touchdowns
• 47 receptions, 357 receiving yards, two receiving touchdowns

Walker and Charbonnet’s stats are disappointing in the rushing yards category. A lot of that can be attributed to run blocking (or lack thereof). Another important note here is that Walker missed two full games in the first nine games of the season, which goes a long way toward explaining why his stats can drop while in turn Charbonnet’s stats are inflated. But in those extra opportunities, Charbonnet has gone from a zero-touchdown rookie campaign to five total touchdowns in nine weeks.

DK Metcalf

Current statistics (seven matches):

• 35 receptions, 568 receiving yards, three receiving touchdowns

Expected final stats:

• 66 receptions 1,072 receiving yards, six receiving touchdowns

Jaxon Smith-Njigba:

– Current stats (nine games):

o 50 receptions, 568 receiving yards, three receiving touchdowns

– Expected final statistics:

o 94 receptions, 1,072 receiving yards, six receiving touchdowns

Tyler Lockett

Current statistics (nine games):

• 34 receptions, 456 receiving yards, two receiving touchdowns

Expected final stats:

• 64 receptions, 861 receiving yards, four receiving touchdowns

Noah Fant

Current stats (eight games):

• 27 receptions, 285 receiving yards, 0 receiving touchdowns

Expected final stats:

• 51 receptions, 583 receiving yards, 0 receiving touchdowns

A. J. Barner

Current stats (nine games)

• 17 receptions, 132 receiving yards, one receiving touchdown

Expected final stats:

• 32 receptions, 249 receiving yards, two receiving touchdowns

The downside to Geno Smith having a lot of passing success this season is that someone has to catch all those passes. That can be seen here with the Seahawks’ top three wide receivers and two tight ends. Metcalf was on pace to break his 2020 receiving yards record (1,303 receiving yards) before his recent injury sidelined him for two games. If he can come back healthy and maintain his explosiveness, he may be able to threaten that record again. At a similar pace to Metcalf, Smith-Njigba is slowly becoming the top receiving threat the Seahawks expected him to be after drafting him out of Ohio State in 2023. Smith-Njigba is currently on pace to easily break his rookie receiving statistic. (50 receptions, 568 yards, three touchdowns). Despite being thrust into the WR three role, Lockett has still proven to be the clutch receiver that he is, and is on track to possibly flirt with another 1,000-yard season.

At tight end, Fant has yet to catch a touchdown pass (the last coming in 2022). Still, Fant is already just five receptions away from tying his 2023 season total. Barner looks more formidable in receiving threats than many expected him to after being drafted out of Michigan this year. With Fant’s recent injury issues, Barner could expect an even bigger increase in snaps.
