Seattle Seahawks
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Woolen is heading into the final year of his rookie contract. The UTSA product has started 46 games through three seasons, producing 162 tackles and 11 interceptions, including a pick-six. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound corner needs to improve as a consistent tackler, but he's a natural coverage corner with elite athleticism who's impossible to keep off the field. In the end, his fantasy numbers will likely lag behind his real-life value. Read Past Outlooks

Woolen (illness) carries no injury designation into Sunday's game against the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After popping up on Seattle's injury report as a non-participant in Thursday's practice due to an illness, Woolen appears ready to play in Sunday's divisional matchup. The fourth-year corner appeared in 15 games for the Seahawks in 2024, recording 46 total tackles, 14 passes defended (including three interceptions) and one forced fumble. He's expected to start alongside Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe in Week 1.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might be dealt
CBSeattle Seahawks
September 29, 2025
Woolen is a player other teams are keeping an eye on as a potential trade target, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback was named to the Pro Bowl as a rookie in 2022, but he's in the final season of his rookie contract and may not be a player the Seahawks intend to sign. Woolen's coverage numbers have also declined in the early part of the season, as he's allowed a career-worst 89.8 QB rating on 19 pass attempts thrown his way.
