Scouting report

SEA WR Doug Baldwin - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Los Angeles Rams

Doug Baldwin had four catches for 77 yards last week. He has been inconsistent since his return from injury but still remains a threat each week. Baldwin has had success against the Rams during his career, except for scoring touchdowns. He will face an LA defense that is 22nd in aFPA to wide receivers.

Baldwin should be in a play this week, but only as a high-end WR3 or flex. He needs his quarterback Russell Wilson to perform better and that has not been the case week-to-week.

SEA WR Doug Baldwin - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Injuries initially slowed down Doug Baldwin, but since his return, he has had mixed results. Last week, he only had two catches. He still remains a threat each week, but we are waiting for some consistency.

Baldwin will face the Chargers who are 28th in aFPA to wide receivers. He is a viable play this week with a favorable matchup so start him as a WR3 or flex for Week 9.

SEA WR Doug Baldwin - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Detroit Lions

Doug Baldwin had his best game of the season before the bye week with six receptions for 91 yards. The off week should get Baldwin close to 100% healthy and his numbers should reflect that moving forward.

Baldwin will face the Lions who are 11th in aFPA to wide receivers. We want to see him be consistent again so, for now, Baldwin will rank as a high-end WR3 or flex for Week 8.

SEA WR Doug Baldwin - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Oakland Raiders
Doug Baldwin figured to be back to 100% in his second game back from injury but only managed one catch for 1 yard. That was the only target of the day for him. We have to figure he will get more in future games, as he is still considered the Seahawks No. 1 receiver.

Baldwin will face an Oakland defense that is ranked 24th in aFPA to wide receivers. Despite the favorable lineup, the numbers from last week have to be concerning. Still, we know what Baldwin is capable of. Keep him in your starting lineup but as a WR3 or flex for Week 6.

SEA WR Doug Baldwin - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Los Angeles Rams
Doug Baldwin returned to the lineup after missing two weeks and was immediately the most targeted Seattle player in the passing game. He caught five passes for only 41 yards, but you have to figure he is just getting warmed up. The only issue is that the Seattle passing game has struggled with QB Russell Wilson having protection issues and the Seahawks having issues moving the ball through the air.

Baldwin will face a Rams defense that is ranked 14th in aFPA to wide receivers so there is some room for improvement. Start Baldwin in Week 5 as a high-end WR3 or flex against the Los Angeles.

SEA WR Doug Baldwin - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Denver Broncos

Doug Baldwin has been pushing to be considered a top receiver in the NFL and 2018 could be the season it happens. His relationship with QB Russell Wilson has made them a lethal combination. Overall, it should be a very good fantasy season for Baldwin.

However, it could be tough sledding Week 1 against a very good Denver pass defense. The Broncos have been good at shutting down No. 1 receivers the past several seasons so Baldwin will be their focus.

Baldwin is worth a start but he has a very low rating for Week 1. Start him as a low-end WR2 against the Broncos in what should be his lowest rating of the season.

SEA WR Doug Baldwin - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Doug Baldwin continues to be one of the NFL's most productive receivers and doesn't show any signs of slowing down. He has great chemistry with QB Russell Wilson and has put up consistent numbers over the last three seasons - averaging 1,062 receiving yards and almost 10 touchdowns per season over that span. Seattle's passing game has developed as Wilson has grown and Baldwin has been a beneficiary.

Fantasy Downside
Baldwin's numbers took a step back last year from his career-highs in 2016 and he isn't in the top tier of receivers. There is also concern over a knee injury that has hampered him in training camp.

2018 Bottom Line
Baldwin's consistency keeps him high in the wide receiver rankings and although he is not a clear-cut WR1, he has the potential to be one. He is going in the third round of most drafts and that is accurate based on his value. Baldwin is a safe pick who will definitely help your team and if he is your second receiver taken, he could give you two No. 1 type players at the position.
