The Seattle Seahawks are the Super Bowl champions and they have some solid fantasy football draft options in Percy Harvin, Marshawn Lynch, Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin, Robert Turbin and Christine Michael, as the team has the chance to improve on offense after their defense led the way to the championship and some of those players could put up great numbers this season, especially Harvin and Wilson.

Last year Wilson was very efficient and he did that without Harvin in the lineup for most of the season and while he is losing his top receiver in Golden Tate, the team has Harvin healthy along with Doug Baldwin back. The rushing game should be strong again with Lynch and both Turbin and Michael have the chance to contribute as well, especially with the way Lynch was worked last season.

Wilson passed for over 3,300 yards last season and had 26 touchdowns with just nine picks and now he is a Super Bowl champion. Losing Tate will be tough, but the team drafted Paul Brown and they also have Baldwin back and he comes in after being second on the team in receptions. The team has some solid players that could come in behind Harvin and Baldwin, but those two are the ones to keep an eye on. Wilson should only get better as time goes on and he does not turn the ball over.

Harvin coming back could be huge, as he had just one catch last season while coming back from injury, but he also can contribute on special teams. Harvin showed that in the Super Bowl and now his role will be even bigger this season with Tate gone after he led the team with 64 catches for 898 yards. Baldwin was second and he should do that again after making 50 catches for 778 yards and five touchdowns.

Lynch had another strong season and he went for 1257 yards and 12 touchdowns and while he had a contract dispute this offseason, he is back in action and ready to go. Wilson is mobile and went for 539 yards last season, but he ranked second on the team in rushing and while that is good production from Wilson, overall the Seahawks need some more support from their running backs.

The Seahawks have Turbin and Michael and those two should be able to provide some solid support behind Lynch. Last season Turbin had over 260 yards, while Michael had just 79 yards and both of those should increase. Neither player made much of an impact catching the ball, but that could change this season as well.
