Dee Eskridge Fantasy

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.

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.
