2024 Fantasy Outlook
Woolen was once again a full-time starter for the Seahawks in 2023 and generated 53 tackles (42 solo), 11 pass breakups and two interceptions through 16 games. The 2022 fifth-round pick continued to impress in coverage, but he lacks consistent tackling skills that can make him exploitable against certain schemes. Woolen's starting role should be safe nonetheless, as his coverage ability and athleticism are sufficient, and the team didn't bring in competition this offseason anyway. Read Past Outlooks
Standing out in camp
Woolen has been a star during training camp and joint practices against the Titans, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Woolen has been among the Seahawks' best players during training camp as he casts aside any doubt that he'll start for the team in 2024. The 2022 fifth-round pick features elite athleticism, and it appears his coverage skills may have taken the next step heading into his third season. Through two NFL campaigns, Woolen has produced 27 pass breakups and eight interceptions, including a pick-six.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Seahawks selected Woolen in the fifth round last year, and he was their second cornerback taken in the draft. However, his athleticism shined as he won a starting job and thrust himself into the Defensive Rookie of the Year conversation with 63 tackles, 16 pass breakups and six interceptions through 17 starts. The Seahawks drafted CB Devon Witherspoon fifth overall this year, but Woolen's starting spot on the other side still is secure for 2023.
