No. 2 Doug Baldwin vs Oakland

How does Doug Baldwin end up on this list? Well he’s easing back into the offense that’s why. I think this week is set to be Baldwin’s best of the campaign so far. That isn’t saying much as he’s just getting started but don’t sleep on Doug. See what I did there? Alright moving on.

After five catches for 41 yards against the Arizona Cardinals, Baldwin had just one catch for one yard in the 33-31 loss to the Rams. I think that not only motivates but gives Baldwin an added sleeper edge. That’s not a thing but for the sake of this piece…it is.

Baldwin is one of those guys you expect to put it together at a certain point each year. His value to Russell Wilson is immeasurable. He nearly passed 1,000 yards for the third straight season last year, falling short by just nine yards.

Oakland has struggled against the pass and with the Seahawks coming back from the brink of being done I love Russell Wilson and the offense in this matchup.
