Summary
Eric Saubert enters Year 10 at age 31 as a low-volume, situational tight end, averaging 40.3% of the Seahawks’ offense snaps in 2025 — an ascending trend. He posted 7.1 custom fantasy points across 17 games, highlighting a floor-based profile with minimal upside.
Projection Rationale
Saubert averaged 40.3% of the Seahawks’ offense snaps in 2025, increasing from 17.0% in Week 1 to 52.0% in Week 17. The 7.1 custom fantasy points across 17 games establish a floor-based profile, but the situational nature of his role limits upside potential.
Injury Risk
Saubert’s 2025 injury history shows full participation in practice in Week 22 and limited participation in Week 15. However, an out designation in Week 9 indicates some risk, although the extent of this risk is unclear.
Opportunity Notes
Saubert’s 2025 snap percentage trend is up, with a peak of 52.0% in Week 17, and he remains the top tight end on the Seahawks’ depth chart. The team’s spread scheme and situational usage contribute to his floor-based profile.
Scheme Fit Analysis
The Seahawks’ spread offense, under HC Mike Macdonald and OC Klint Kubiak, features press-man coverage and exotic blitz packages. Saubert’s situational role is a good fit for this scheme, as he can exploit mismatches in the middle of the field.
Trend Assessment
Rising
The 31-year-old’s snap percentage trend in 2025 is up, with a mid-season peak of 52.0% in Week 17, followed by a 57.0% mark in Week 21.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling tracks near 2025’s 7.1-point finish, given his floor-based profile and situational role. Floor tracks near 7.1, given the 40.3% snap share average and situational usage.
Comparable Player
His role as a situational pass-catcher with rising snap share draws comparisons to Logan Thomas from 2022 Washington — similar mid-season snap share increase, similar end-of-year floor, and similar lack of upside.
