Freddie Swain Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Freddie Swain caught 6-of-8 targets and gained 33 yards during the team's 27-13 preseason loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The 25-year-old tied for the team lead in receptions Thursday night with his top competition for a roster spot, Deon Cain. Cain, however, gained nearly double the yardage and looked more explosive. With Tyrie Cleveland waived due to injury, the final wide receiver spot for the Eagles is up for grabs, and it seems to be down to Swain and Cain after their performances Thursday. Cain may have the upper hand due to being on the roster for a more extended period of time, but Swain should revert to the practice squad if he does not make the final 53-man roster after cutdowns.

The Denver Broncos have signed wide receiver Freddie Swain off the Miami Dolphins practice squad. The Broncos are in need of help at wideout with Courtland Sutton (hamstring) and Kendall Hinton (hamstring) banged up. Swain has experience with quarterback Russell Wilson, so this could work out well for the Broncos. The 24-year-old was active for the Dolphins this past weekend, but only played seven snaps. He hauled in 25 receptions, 343 yards, and four touchdowns with Wilson in 2021. Fantasy managers shouldn't bother taking a risk on Swain with better fantasy options available.

The Miami Dolphins have signed wide receiver Freddie Swain to their practice squad. The 24-year-old struggled during training camp and was cut by the Seattle Seahawks. However, he showed flashes last season with 25 receptions and four touchdowns as a member of the Seahawks. Obviously, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are going to be the focal point in the receiving game for Miami. Possibly, Swain works his way into the mix as a depth option, but he won't be on the fantasy radar to start the season.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Freddie Swain hasn't been a consistent wide receiver this year, but he could have some value in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Rams as a deep sleeper. Tyler Lockett has yet to be cleared for the game due to COVID-19, and that would open up a lot of targets if he's unable to go. Swain isn't locked into that next role, but he's been around longer than rookie DEee Eskridge, which gives him a slight edge. If Lockett is cleared and is active, Swain can be ignored. If Lockett misses the game, Swain could be a reasonable fill-in for this week in deeper leagues. Swain has 20 receptions for 219 yards and three touchdowns on 34 targets over 13 games this year.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Freddie Swain leads the NFL through two weeks of play with an average of 7.5 yards of separation from defenders. With rookie Dee Eskridge missing Week 2 with a concussion, Swain stepped into the No. 3 role and has played 59.3 percent of the offensive snaps through two weeks behind D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. The 23-year-old caught all five of his targets in the overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans for 95 yards and a touchdown, including a wide-open 68-yard touchdown strike. Swain could end up securing the third receiver job in Seattle. It won't be a role that'll give him weekly fantasy value, but Seattle's offense is a friendly place for receivers that can make big plays down the field.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Freddie Swain was invisible in Week 1, but he showed up in a big way in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Swain caught all five of his targets for 95 yards and a score. He also added one carry for five yards on the ground. Swain's five targets made him the only player on the team outside of receiversTyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf with more than two targets. The third wide receiver spot remains wide open in this offense, and Swain is one of the many candidates that could take the spot. If he is able to fully lock it down, he'll be in the flex conversation on a weekly basis in deeper leagues.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Freddie Swain seized the day in Week 2. Thanks to a nifty route design, he was wide open to catch his only target en route to a 21-yard touchdown. It was clear that Swain was the fourth receiving option among pass-catchers when you don't include the running backs. Moving forward, he's going to be nothing more than a flyer in extremely deep leagues, but you could be doing much worse than getting a talented pass-catcher in one of the league's best offenses.

The Seattle Seahawks used the last pick of the sixth round on Florida wide receiver Freddie Swain. Swain is a great route runner with big-time athleticism, so he'll be a bit of a developmental project for the Seahawks. He has the speed, as evidenced by his 4.46-second 40-yard dash at the combine. Swain won't see the field over Tyler Lockett or D.K. Metcalf, but with some coaching, he could develop into a solid No. 3 option down the road.
