Seahawks

Russell Wilson is an exciting QB2, but the rookie is going into a hostile environment.

Marshawn Lynch's back spasms make him as well as Robert Turbin a risky play. If there's more clarification by game time, you can play one with confidence.

It's unclear whether fantasy owners can count on Sidney Rice yet, but Doug Baldwin and Braylon Edwards may not be bad options. Golden Tate (knee injury) won't play.

The Seahawks have rarely used the tight end as a receiver under Pete Carroll.

Cardinals

Few QB situations are less exciting than Arizona's.

Beanie Wells will likely get the incumbent's nod for carries, but a hamstring tweak makes him a little risky. Seattle's front is pretty tough, but Ryan Williams should get some opportunities, especially with Wells dinged.

Unless you own Larry Fitzgerald, the Cardinals' receivers and tight ends might as well be soccer players. They'll probably be almost impossible to rely on.

Seahawks latest news and notes

Seahawks | Cliff Avril expected to be ready for camp

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said DE Cliff Avril (foot) should be ready for the start of training camp. Avril misses the organized team activities and most of the minicamp because of a plantar fascia injury.

Seahawks | James Carpenter could compete for starting job

Seattle Seahawks OG James Carpenter (knee) could compete for one of the starting guard jobs if he is healthy at the start of training camp.

Seahawks | Zach Miller sat out minicamp

Seattle Seahawks TE Zach Miller (foot) did not participate in the team's minicamp last week because of a foot injury. The injury is not believed to be serious, and he is expected to be ready for the start of training camp.

Seahawks | Expected to have competition at FB

Seattle Seahawks FB Michael Robinson is expected to compete with FB Spencer Ware during training camp for the starting fullback job.

Seahawks | John Moffitt pleads guilty

Seattle Seahawks OG John Moffitt pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. He received a suspended sentence of 24 months in jail and was ordered to pay a $1,407 fine.

Cardinals latest news and notes

Cardinals | Rob Housler likely to be used frequently

Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians likes the pass-catching ability of TE Rob Housler, and his time on the field is likely to be dictated on how much his pass-blocking has improved. TEs Jeff King, Jim Dray and D.C. Jefferson are behind him on the depth chart.

Cardinals | Deal with Jonathan Cooper might take a bit

Arizona Cardinals OG Jonathan Cooper has yet to sign, and it is likely his deal comes close to the start of training camp with the front office mostly on vacation. Cooper is expected to serve as the team's starting left guard.

Cardinals | Daryn Colledge working on right side

Arizona Cardinals OG Daryn Colledge is believed to be the starting right offensive guard, and he is viewed as a good fit until rookie OG Earl Watford is considered ready.

Cardinals | RT job up for grabs

Arizona Cardinals OT Bobby Massie was working as the backup left tackle in the last week of minicamp, with OT Nate Potter taking first-team reps at right tackle. Head coach Bruce Arians has said he will move guys around to have them learn as many positions as possible, so the starting right tackle job is still up for grabs. If Potter loses out in the battle, he can also work as a guard.

Cardinals | Michael Floyd impresses coaches

The Arizona Cardinals coaches were impressed with how WR Michael Floyd performed during offseason workouts. Floyd could be the starter opposite WR Larry Fitzgerald Week 1.
