Luke Willson Fantasy Stats

Veteran tight end Luke Willson is scheduled to visit with the Seattle Seahawks later this week, according to a source. Willson was originally a fifth-round pick by the Seahawks out of Rice in 2013. The 31-year-old spent the first five seasons of his career in Seattle before playing for the Detroit Lions (2018). He was back with Seattle in 2019 and also played for the Baltimore Ravens for three games in 2020. In 102 career games (52 starts), Willson has just 111 receptions on 169 targets for 1,307 yards and 11 touchdowns, and he would strictly provide tight end depth again in Seattle if he rejoins them.

The Seattle Seahawks signed tight end Luke Willson to the active roster off the practice squad on Wednesday. The team also activated safety Damarious Randall from the Reserve/COVID-19 list and placed cornerback Jayson Stanley on Injured Reserve. Willson started the year with Seattle and played five games before joining the Ravens for three contests. He returned to Seattle after being waived by Baltimore. The 30-year-old is familiar with the team's offense and will provide depth behind Greg Olsen, Will Dissly, Jacob Hollister and rookie Colby Parkinson. Willson didn't have a single target in five games with the Seahawks and caught one of three targets for 12 yards with the Ravens. Ignore him.

The Baltimore Ravens are working out former Seahawks tight end Luke Willson on Wednesday. Willson was released by Seattle and was a victim of a crowded tight end room. Baltimore has only Mark Andrews and Nick Boyle on their active roster, so they might be looking to add some veteran depth at the position. Willson played in just five games for the Seahawks this year and wasn't targeted a single time in the passing attack. He had eight catches for 79 yards in eight games for Seattle in 2019. The 30-year-old caught 13 passes for 87 yards in his last full season in 2018 with the Lions and hasn't scored a touchdown since 2017 with Seattle. He will continue to be a fantasy afterthought if he signs with Baltimore.

The Seattle Seahawks are activating rookie tight end Colby Parkinson (foot) on Tuesday, with tight end Luke Willson being released in a corresponding move, according to a source. Parkinson, a fourth-round pick out of Stanford, is unlikely to see much of a role behind the likes of veteran Greg Olsen, Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister. You can leave him to the waiver wire in all fantasy formats. Willson saw zero targets in five games this year after catching eight of his 10 targets for 79 yards in eight games (seven starts) for the Seahawks in 2019.

The Seattle Seahawks re-signed tight end Luke Willson to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday. Willson had just eight catches for 79 yards in eight games in 2019. He's more of a blocking tight end and will also be behind Greg Olsen, Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister on Seattle's depth chart, so he'll have no use to fantasy owners. He started seven games for the Seahawks last season but fought through injuries late in the season.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee) and tight end Luke Willson (ribs) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Gordon should be able to make his season debut for Seattle on Monday night against the undefeated 49ers. But against an elite defense and as the No. 3 wideout behind Tyler Lockett and rookie D.K. Metcalf on a run-first squad, it's hard to recommend Gordon as anything more than a boom/bust WR5 as he still learns the offense. Willson should also be able to play, but Ed Dickson is returning from Injured Reserve and Jacob Hollister has been a much better pass-catcher than Willson. Willson should remain on the waiver wire everywhere.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that tight end Luke Willson (ribs) said he will play on Monday night against the 49ers after injuring his ribs in Week 9. Willson played sparingly in the overtime win over the Buccaneers and caught both his targets for 20 yards. He has eight catches on 10 targets for 79 yards in six games this year and isn't on the fantasy radar. That's especially true with Ed Dickson potentially returning from Injured Reserve this weekend. Jacob Hollister has also proven to be more fantasy friendly in this offense with Will Dissly out for the year.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Luke Willson caught just one pass for seven yards in Week 8. Willson was out-targeted two to one by fellow tight end Jacob Hollister, who caught both of his targets for 18 yards. The hope was that Willson could reignite his chemistry with quarterback Russell Wilson. That hasn't been the case as Willson has posted just six catches on eight targets for 59 yards. It's best to avoid the tight end spot in Seattle for the meantime.

Despite being the starting tight end last week, Luke Willson was only able to scrape together three targets. Baltimore is a neutral-to-slightly bad matchup for TE's, but even in a plus matchup, Willson will only be relevant if he's able to break the plane. Until he builds a track record of decent usage, Willson isn't even worth a speculative add at this point.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Luke Willson fit right in after being re-signed by the team this week after they traded tight end Nick Vannett to the Steelers. Willson promptly hit the field in Arizona and snagged a critical third-down catch late in the fourth quarter to help seal the game for Seattle. Willson was with the Seahawks for five seasons before heading to Detroit last year, but he failed to find a roster spot for anyone at the end of training camp this season. Back with Seattle, Willson will likely see a chance or two each game, but he appears to have been wholly replaced by Will Dissly for now. Just keep an eye on this familiar face if injuries start to become an issue.
