Analysis by Shawn Childs, from his 2026 guide — his words, unedited.
McIntosh has the look of a power runner based on his speed (4.62 40-yard dash), but his short-area quickness and value in the passing game paint a different profile. He runs good routes and handles himself well in pass protection. McIntosh must improve his vision and patience to earn a more significant role with Seattle.
The Georgia Bulldogs gave McIntosh his best opportunity (150/829/10 with 43 catches for 504 yards and two touchdowns) in 2022. Over his three previous seasons, he gained 1,109 combined yards with eight scores and 33 catches.
The Seahawks didn’t give McIntosh a touch in his rookie season due to him missing multiple games with knee and thumb issues. Seattle gave him a bump in chances in three games (7/38 with two catches for seven yards, 7/46, and 7/49) over the last five weeks of 2024. He missed all of 2025 due to a torn ACL in his left knee.
Fantasy Outlook
