In NFL Fantasy 2025, Week 13 brings key defensive picks and bench advice, especially focusing on the Seattle Seahawks.
Seattle Seahawks’ Defense Performance
The Seattle Seahawks’ defense has consistently performed well this season. They have earned more than 11 fantasy points in five of their games.
Conversely, they have scored nine points or fewer on just three occasions. This indicates a strong, reliable option for fantasy managers.
Matchup Against the Vikings
This week, the Seahawks will face the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings have been struggling, allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing defenses.
J.J. McCarthy, the Vikings’ quarterback, is currently undergoing concussion protocol, raising uncertainty about his game status.
Quarterback Status
- McCarthy has had a difficult start as a rookie starter.
- He is the first quarterback in recent memory to throw an interception in each of his first six career starts, echoing the struggles of DeShone Kizer.
- Additionally, McCarthy has been sacked 20 times over these six games, indicating a significant vulnerability.
Backup Quarterback Consideration
If McCarthy cannot play, the Vikings will likely turn to rookie Max Brosmer, who remains untested in the NFL. This further opens the door for the Seahawks’ defense to capitalize.
Fantasy Advice for Week 13
Regardless of who starts for Minnesota, fantasy managers should consider starting the Seahawks’ defense this week. Their strong track record suggests they will be a solid fantasy option against a struggling Vikings’ offense.
