Fantasy Analysis
The 32-year-old Seymour played in all 16 games for the Raiders in 2011 as he recorded 29 tackles and six sacks. His six sacks were his highest total since notching eight in 2008 for New England. Seymour is just a low-end option when it comes to IDP formats in Fantasy play. (Updated 02/12/2012).
Richard Seymour should be considered a No. 3 defensive lineman heading into the season. Seymour plays an important role for the Raiders, but he had just 5.5 sacks and 28 total tackles in 2011. He hasn't reached double digits in sacks in his career, and his best year for tackles was 57 in 2003 with the Patriots. Fantasy owners in IDP leagues should only use Seymour in deep formats or as a bye-week replacement. (Updated 4/24/12)
