Past Fantasy Outlooks
2015
2014
Sweezy started 16 games at right guard last season. He'll never be a star, but he's relatively dependable -- he allowed 3.5 sacks and was called for one holding penalty last season. A collegiate defensive lineman, Sweezy is athletic -- his 36-inch vertical jump was second best among D-Linemen at the Combine -- just the way the Seahawks like their offensive linemen. He'll start again this season at right tackle.
