The Seattle Seahawks had a day for the fantasy record books Sunday, scoring 41 points on defense. Only one team has been better in the past 10 years — the Seattle Seahawks.

The San Francisco 49ers play host to the Seattle Seahawks tonight in a matchup that has huge implications for the NFC West picture.

The Seahawks are expected to be well over the salary cap, and a large chunk of that cash might be reinvested to patch up a dearth of contract players at running back, defensive end and linebacker.

Now that Sidney Rice is finished for the year, everyone in Seattle’s WR receiver rotation moves up. It likely won’t help their fantasy values enough to make them worth starting.

There aren’t many positives for the Seattle Seahawks to take out of their first two losses of the season. And that might actually be sugar-coating the situation.

You see this story every year. A school holds a “pride” day for the local team. Yet, one individual wears the colors of another team, only to get sent home. And then the hand-wringing ensues.

Now that the Seahawks have pulled off one of the bigger upsets in playoff history, what’s next?

The biggest surprise of wild-card weekend was the Seahawks’ win over the Saints, but it shouldn’t be as big of a shock as most people tend to think.
