Doug Baldwin Looking To Get On Track
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin will look to find some traction this week against the Oakland Raiders.

Oakland is rated 21st in the league in […]
David Moore Is Seattle's Surprise
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore isn't supposed to be seeing the field, much less be a real target other teams need to prepare to face. Moore made the roster by the skin of his teeth, and he was supposed to be buried in the depth chart behind the likes of Tyler Lockett, Doug Baldwin, […]
Tyler Lockett Should Have Another Good Game
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver/returner Tyler Lockett has been the model of consistency for the Seahawks passing game so far, and he should continue his breakout season in England. Lockett has hauled in touchdowns in four of the five games this season, and he has yet to be held under 50 yards receiving. While he's not […]
Nick Vannett Expected to Play
Seattle Seahawks tight end Nick Vannett has been sidelined much of this week due to a lingering back injury, but head coach Pete Carroll told reporters on Friday that he expects Vannett to play on Sunday.

Mike Davis Should Rip The Raiders
Seattle Seahawks running back Mike Davis took second billing against the Rams, and he'll likely reprise that role in London, but that didn't prevent him from finding paydirt. Davis scored again last week against LA, giving him three touchdowns in his last two games, and he's an odds-on favorite to do it again this week. […]
Chris Carson Poised For Huge Game In London
Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson made his presence felt last week against the Rams by racking up his second straight 100-yard performance, but that may have just been a teaser for this week. Carson and Seattle's newfound commitment to the run are across the pond in London, and they're facing an Oakland defense that […]

Nick Vannett Questionable For London Game
Seattle Seahawks tight end Nick Vannett (back) is listed as questionable to face the Raiders in Week 6 in London.

Defenses to Stream Against with Confidence
A football player is only as good as his matchup. For players on the fringes of fantasy rosters, that proves to be true more often than not.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) and wide receivers Doug Baldwin (knee) and David Moore (rib) all practiced in full on Wednesday.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Nick Vannett (back) did not practice on Wednesday. This is a new injury for Vannett and one that could cause him to sit out in Week 6 against the Raiders. He had three catches on four targets for 43 yards in Week 5 and should remain as the main pass-catching tight […]

Health Didn't Limit Doug Baldwin To One Catch In Week 5
Even though Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (knee) is unlikely to be 100 percent healthy all year, both he and head coach Pete Carroll said that's not what limited the receiver to just one catch in the Week 5 loss to the Rams. It was just the way the game played out and the […]
