Hackett job
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer raises the possibility of a job-share between D.J. Hackett and Nate Burleson. The line is a bit buried, and could be proved meaningless, but it points out the surprising camp battle between the two.
I'm still not that concerned as a Hackett owner. When Seattle has lined up to play on Sundays the last two years, Hackett has been one of the best per-snap receivers in the NFL. Burleson has been a consistent disappointment in Minnesota and Seattle. Hackett is going to start in Week 1, and he's likely to challenge Deion Branch for top receiver honors in Seattle.
A couple preseason games don't erase the last two years of evidence that Hackett is a superior player to Burleson. And Seattle's starting wide receivers have been solid fantasy options in the Mike Holmgren era, all the way back to Koren Robinson and Sean Dawkins. I'm still confident as D.J. Hackett as a third wideout in fantasy leagues.





Comments
Alot of people seem to be on the Hackett bandwagon so far this preseason.
Seattle will try to get back to a even-balanced attack starting with the running game.
Hackett might have a decent season but with Alexander getting 300+ carries & a Wr core of Branch, Hackett, Burleson, Engram & a decent TE in Pollard I'd be realistic in projections for him.
