Other Seahawks wide receivers

Paul Richardson: Richardson spent some the offseason working out with Russell Wilson and Tyler Lockett which can’t hurt Richardson’s rapport with the starting QB.  He enters the season as the fourth WR on the team after catching just one pass for 40 yards in an injury-riddled 2015. He contributed three catches for 23 yards on six targets in the Seahawks preseason opener, but he isn’t worth a fantasy football look unless injury strikes the Seahawks wide receivers ahead of him on the depth chart.

Kenny Lawler: Lawler joins the Seahawks as a seventh-round pick out of California where he worked with #1 overall pick Jared Goff. Lawler has good hands and a big catch radius, but there will probably be too few passes thrown his way for him to make a fantasy impact this year. The Seahawks have looked his progress so far this preseason, though.

Antwan Goodley: The Seahawks signed Goodley as a UDFA out of Baylor.  He had a big Jr. season but struggled in his Sr. year with injuries holding him back.  He had solid offseason workouts and led the team in targets, catches, and receiving in the second preseason game.  Goodley finished that contest with 65 yards on five catches and may be on the inside track to securing his roster spot although he won’t make much fantasy impact unless injuries deplete the Seahawks wide receivers.
