Seahawks fans could be forgiven if they feel hopeless heading into Week 16. Seattle has lost four of five games and their chances of making the playoffs are dwindling rapidly.

Fifth-round pick Tariq Woolen has become a star right away, currently leading his position in Pro Bowl voting and the league in interceptions. He’s also among the top five in passer rating allowed. In fact, Seattle has two players among the league leaders. Here are the top 20.
