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

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Needs to improve tackling
Woolen needs to improve as a tackler to have a bounceback 2024 season, Ben Solack of ESPN suggests.
ANALYSIS
Woolen was benched late in the 2023 season, a disappointing fall from his rookie campaign a year earlier. That was due in part to a 20 percent missed tackle rate in addition to a 62.1 percent completion rate allowed. There's optimism that he will improve with a new coaching staff in Seattle, and he's projected to start as an outside corner to begin the new season.
