Dee Eskridge Fantasy

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Dee Eskridge (hamstring) took part in the early portion of practice on Wednesday before he was limited. Head coach Pete Carroll said the team didn't want to overwork him as he dealt with hamstring tightness. A second-round pick last year, Eskridge missed some time in the spring with the same hamstring injury. The 25-year-old dealt with injuries in his rookie season as well and finished with a disappointing 10 catches on 20 targets for 64 yards and one touchdown in 10 games (zero starts) in 2021. He should have a bigger role (if healthy) this year, but Seattle's situation at quarterback won't help his cause for a better performance in his sophomore season.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that wide receiver Dee Eskridge (hamstring) has been sitting out of mandatory minicamp this week with a hamstring issue. Eskridge missed seven games of his rookie campaign with concussion issues and recorded only 10 receptions for 64 yards and one touchdown on 20 targets in his first NFL season last year. So the second-round pick in 2021 needs all the offseason repetitions he can get if he wants to make more of an impact in his sophomore season. The 25-year-old will be competing with Freddie Swain and rookie Bo Melton in training camp for the No. 3 receiver role behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. With quarterback Russell Wilson gone, whoever wins the No. 3 role won't be very attractive in fantasy.

The Seattle Seahawks officially activated quarterback Russell Wilson (finger) and rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge (concussion) from Injured Reserve on Friday. Both players will return to action in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers. Fantasy managers are surely stoked to have Wilson back as their QB1, but he'll be returning to face a Packers defense that has surrendered only 210.4 passing yards per game (seventh-fewest), and he'll be without top running back Chris Carson (neck), who remains on IR. In single-year leagues, the 32-year-old should be returned to starting lineups, but he's a wise fade in DFS. Eskridge has intriguing potential in Seattle's offense as a field-stretcher from the slot, but he'll likely be eased back in for just his second career game and can remain on waiver wires in redraft leagues.
