Dee Eskridge 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.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll confirmed that rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge (concussion) is likely to make his return in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers for the first time since suffering a head injury in his NFL debut in Week 1. In order for that to happen, Seattle must activate him from Injured Reserve by Saturday. Eskridge was in line to be the team's third slot receiver in 2021, and he has the type of speed to frustrate opposing defenses. Getting the speedy youngster back in the fold is a big plus for the Seahawks offense as they also get quarterback Russell Wilson (finger) back, but Eskridge will likely be eased back into the offense and will merely be one to watch in deeper leagues for the second half of the season.

The Seattle Seahawks opened the 21-day practice window for rookie wide receiver Dee Eskridge (concussion) to return from Injured Reserve this week. Eskridge has been out since suffering a concussion in his first NFL game in Week 1. The Seahawks will still need to activate Eskridge from IR before he can return to game action. It remains to be seen if he'll be active in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers, and it will likely depend on how he looks in practice this week. The 24-year-old will likely be eased back into the offense when he's ready behind D.K. Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Freddie Swain, so he's really only an option to be stashed in dynasty/keeper leagues for now. Before getting injured in the season opener, Eskridge had a six-yard catch and two carries for 22 yards.
