Freddie Swain Fantasy

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.
