The Seattle Seahawks waived wide receiver Amara Darboh on Tuesday and signed two undrafted rookie receivers in Nyqwan Murray and Kahlil Lewis. A third-round pick in 2017, Darboh just never showed anything with Seattle, catching eight passes for 71 scoreless yards in his rookie year and not playing at all in 2018. Darboh really had to underwhelm to be cut from a receiving corps that lost Doug Baldwin to retirement and is facing injuries to David Moore and rookie D.K. Metcalf to open the season. Darboh's release is good news for Keenan Reynolds and Malik Turner.
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has been impressed with wide receiver Amara Darboh at organized team activities. "Darboh looks great. He's back in the fold now, so he goes right back into the competition of it," Carroll said. Darboh, a 2017 third-round pick, didn't play at all last year due to a knee injury. There are more opportunities in the receiving corps in Seattle now that Doug Baldwin is gone, but Darboh will still be fighting for repetitions with rookie D.K. Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, David Moore, Jaron Brown and Malik Turner.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Amara Darboh (knee) has reverted back to Seattle's roster after being cut by the Patriots. He failed a physical with New England and will be put on Injured Reserve with Seattle, as his contract was "reinstated." Darboh had just eight catches for 71 yards in his rookie season last year with the Seahawks.
The New England Patriots waived wide receiver Amara Darboh on Tuesday after claiming him off waivers from the Seahawks on Sunday, according to a source. This puts the Patriots back at just four receivers on their active 53-man roster. With Julian Edelman suspended for the first four games, receiver Chris Hogan and tight end Rob Gronkowski will be quarterback Tom Brady's top targets, but Phillip Dorsett has some sleeper potential out of the slot.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Amara Darboh (clavicle, hip), who has missed significant time this summer, will take the field for the preseason finale on Thursday. Darboh could help his cause for a roster spot with a good performance on Thursday as he attempts to beat out veteran wideout Brandon Marshall. Despite the missed time this preseason, the Seahawks could still choose Darboh over Marshall because he's younger with more upside. Even if Darboh makes the squad, he can be ignored in fantasy drafts.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Amara Darboh (clavicle) will not play in Friday's preseason game in Minnesota, as he continues to heal from a clavicle injury. It is believed that the 2017 third-round pick needs to get onto the field soon just to secure a roster spot. Darboh faces plenty of competition from up-and-comers Jaron Brown and David Moore, as well as the veterans Doug Baldwin (knee), Tyler Lockett and Brandon Marshall. At the moment it appears he is simply fighting for a roster spot and is only worth a look in the final rounds if you're trying to unearth a potential gem in deeper fantasy leagues.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Amara Darboh (hip), who has been out more than a week with a hip flexor injury, was running at what looked to be close to full speed at practice on Monday. Darboh looks to be making progress. He had just 13 targets in 16 games as a rookie last year but could see a much bigger role in this offense. If he can get back into practices and preseason games, Darboh could be one to watch as he battles for the No. 3 job behind Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Amara Darboh had a great day in training camp on Tuesday and had some impressive catches, including a leaping grab during seven-on-seven drills. He also caught a one-handed touchdown from quarterback Russell Wilson. He made some nice plays today, head coach Pete Carroll said. Hes doing really well. Hes fit and battling, and hes a big, strong kid out there, and hes fast too. Its just too early to call any of these positions, but Im just thrilled about the way theyre going about it. Theyre competing like crazy. Darboh didn't really make an impact as a rookie, and he'll need to keep impressing just to make the roster. But there is opportunity this year behind Doug Baldwin, who is already injured. For now, Darboh is just one to watch as training camp progresses.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Amara Darboh is competing for a roster spot in training camp, but he made two tough catches from quarterback Russell Wilson on Tuesday, including one for a one-handed touchdown. The second-year NFL receiver could have more opportunities with Doug Baldwin (knee) sidelined, but he must make the most of them to survive roster cuts. Darboh had only eight receptions for 71 yards in 16 games for Seattle last year. He can obviously be avoided for fantasy purposes.
