2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jenkins was let go by the Jaguars this offseason after two consecutive campaigns of posting at least 100 tackles. He was also coming off arguably his most effective season in coverage, so it came as no surprise that the Seahawks gladly invested in him in free agency as they rebuilt their own safety corps. As for his fantasy value, Jenkins is valuable primarily due to his availability. He's topped 1,000 defensive snaps in each of the last two seasons and played 100 percent of defensive snaps in exactly 50 percent of games in that span. Read Past Outlooks

Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters Friday that Jenkins (hand) is expected to play again this season, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old underwent hand surgery on Oct. 11 and was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, but Macdonald's comments Friday indicate that Jenkins will likely return at some point this season. The veteran safety will be forced to miss Seattle's next four games after going on IR, with his earlier possible returning coming in Week 12 against the Cardinals. Expect K'Von Wallace to continue serving as the Seahawks' top strong safety until Jenkins returns.

2024 Seattle Seahawks Preview: Roster Moves, Depth Chart, Schedule, Storylines and More

The Seahawks put an end to the Pete Carroll era this offseason, opting to hire a first-time head coach in Mike Macdonald. The roster has its faults, but a skill group led by QB Geno Smith isn't one of them.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2020
2019
Jenkins played in all 17 games for the Jaguars in 2022 and totaled 116 tackles (73 solo), one sack, 12 passes defensed, three interceptions and three forced fumbles, with the tackles, passes defensed and fumbles representing career highs. He reworked his contract with Jacksonville during the offseason so he remains under contract for the next two years, and his tackle numbers could make him a solid IDP target at safety in 2023.
A 2017 fourth-round pick by the Chargers, Jenkins started at strong safety the past two seasons and totaled 138 tackles (92 solo) with five interceptions and a sack in 31 games. The 27-year-old signed a four-year deal with the Jaguars in March and should bring some stability to a young secondary. Jenkins could have modest IDP value as a box safety in his first season with Jacksonville.
The decision to let Adrian Phillips leave for New England sets the stage for Jenkins to play a prominent role in the team's special teams depth. While he's expected to compete with 2019 second-round pick Nasir Adderley for a starting role, the Gus Bradley-led system tends to use a plethora of safeties regardless as in-box tacklers. Unless he starts, however, it's unlikely Jenkins will be anything more than a modest contributor in IDP leagues.
The release of Jahleel Addae and expected long-term injury to All-Pro Derwin James opens up the possibility Jenkins could see significant snaps alongside Adrian Phillips and Nasir Adderley with the former expected to start at free safety. Addae recorded at least 65 tackles in three of the last four seasons as the starter, but Jenkins profiles more as a ballhawk as opposed to a heavy hitter like the since departed incumbent. Regardless, the 25-year-old should see enough snaps to earn possible consideration as an IDP option in deeper leagues and could vault even higher into the tier if he's able to consistently earn playing time as the season progresses.
