SEA WR Doug Baldwin - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. San Francisco 49ers

It was a rough day for the entire Seattle offense last week, which was evident by Doug Baldwin's involvement. The Seahawks' No. 1 receiver was only targeted 4 times, but he did catch all 4 passes thrown his way. However, those 4 receptions led to only 63 yards and zero touchdowns. Many owners drafted Baldwin as a WR1 this season, but it just didn't happen Week 1.

We expect better results at home against divisional rival San Francisco, who are an average pass defense at best. Baldwin had a huge game against the Niners in Week 3 last week, catching 8 passes for 164 yards and a touchdown. Expect similar production from Baldwin on Sunday, and start him in all leagues and formats as a solid WR 1 against the 49ers.

SEA WR Doug Baldwin - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Green Bay Packers

Doug Baldwin has become the most dangerous offensive player on the field for the Seahawks. He has been very good the past two seasons, and now that he is in his prime, we expect even more from Baldwin.

He has a great matchup Week 1 against a Packers pass defense that struggled last season. The potential is there for Baldwin to have a big game and improve upon his performance versus the Packers last season, when he caught only 6 passes for 46 yards.

Start Baldwin in all leagues and formats as a top-five fantasy wide receiver for Week 1. Putting last year's game aside, Baldwin will start 2017 with a bang.

SEA WR Doug Baldwin - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Doug Baldwin has put up monster numbers the past two seasons averaging almost 1,110 receiving yards, 86 receptions, and 10 touchdowns. The numbers might have been even better if QB Russell Wilson didn't struggle with injuries last season. Baldwin has put up consistent WR1 numbers after being mediocre for his first four seasons. He has also shown durability, having not missed a game since 2012. There is no doubt he is Wilson's favorite target and that is not likely to change.

Fantasy Downside

A glaring stat from last season was Baldwin's drop from 14 touchdown receptions to 7. The 14 in 2015 might have been an anomaly as he had never scored more than 5 before that season. Still, the cut in half was disappointing.

2017 Bottom Line

With Wilson healthy, Baldwin's numbers should continue to be very good and he could end up having career-highs in 2017. His ADP is 26 and he ranks as the WR10 fantasy receiver, so choosing him in the early-second round will still give you value. Baldwin will be a consistent WR1 all season long.

SEA WR Doug Baldwin - Week 19, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Divisional Round at Atlanta
Doug Baldwin caught only two passes for 44 yards last week against Detroit. Earlier this season against the Falcons, Baldwin caught four passes for 31 yards. He has shown he can come up with big games, so he will always be a consideration. The Falcons are 26th in aFPA to wide receivers, so the advantage favors Baldwin.

Baldwin is a decent play for the divisional playoff game. He falls short of being a top-tier fantasy wide receiver for the weekend, but he is still someone you should consider for your lineup.

SEA WR Doug Baldwin - Week 18, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Wild Card Round vs Detroit
Doug Baldwin had a monster game in Week 16 then came back to earth last week. Still, Baldwin has been the most consistent receiver all season in Seattle's passing game and with Tyler Lockett out, we expect that to remain the case.

Detroit is 6th in aFPA to wide receivers, but even with the touch matchup, Baldwin should be considered for your starting lineup. He isn't a top flight receiver for the Wild Card weekend, but he is in the next tier and a 100-yard game is not out of the question.

SEA WR Doug Baldwin - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs Cardinals
Doug Baldwin had five catches for 35 yards and a touchdown last week. He has been getting his share of receptions, but the yardage totals have been low. That was also his first touchdown since Week 10. The Seattle passing game has been struggling overall, but it still can make an impact.

This week, the Cardinals are the opponent. Baldwin had six catches for 69 yards in the first meeting. Arizona is ranked 26th in aFPA to wide receivers. Although the matchup is good, the Seahawks offense's inconsistencies make us cautious. Start Baldwin has a high-end WR2 for Week 16.

SEA WR Doug Baldwin - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs Los Angeles
Doug Baldwin has been quiet over the last three games, which has been a reflection of the Seattle offense. Against Green Bay, he caught six passes for 46 yards. His targets (11) were fine, but the 'Hawks offense has struggled overall.

The Rams are next up for Seattle, and Los Angeles ranks 25th in aFPA to wide receivers. Baldwin only had three catches for 20 yards in the first meeting back in Week 2, but we expect better numbers than that. However, until we see Seattle back in-sync on offense, we will be cautious with projections for their skill players. Start Baldwin as a high-end WR2 for Week 15.
