Fantasy Football 2016 Preview: Seattle Seahawks wide receivers

Jermaine Kearse

Kearse is barely being drafted but he’s the third of the Seahawks wide receivers who I think is slightly undervalued.  Last season, he had virtually identical numbers to Tyler Lockett getting targeted the exact same amount of times and finishing with 685 yards compared to Lockett’s 664.

The Seahawks re-signed Kearse to a three-year deal this offseason, but he will likely see a slight drop in production if Lockett and Baldwin stay healthy and continue to progress with Russell Wilson in the offense.  Kearse still does have value, though, since he fits the Seahawks system and is established in his role.

While I don’t think he has a ton of upside barring injury to Baldwin or Lockett, I think he can be a late-round depth pick who will get enough snaps to be used as a fill-in if necessary.

He is being drafted as the 61st receiver taken at the beginning of the 20th round, so in most leagues he’ll start on the waiver wire. In his current role, his upside is limited, but he will get passes thrown his way just about every week making him low-risk compared t some of the other receivers being drafted around him in ADP.
