Baldwin hauled in four of five passes for 90 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 26-24 defeat to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
On the heels of two of his worst performances in terms of output this season -- a combined five receptions (on 10 targets) for 41 yards and one TD in Weeks 15 and 16 -- Baldwin bounced back with one of his best. That said, his sole reception of the first half accounted for nearly all of the Seahawks' offensive production (a 20-yard catch versus 24 total yards), putting it in a 20-7 hole. In the second half, Baldwin was on the receiving end of both scoring strikes from Russell Wilson, reaching the end zone from 18 and 29 yards. While Baldwin fell short of a third consecutive 1,000-yard season by nine yards, his eight touchdown grabs marked the second-most of his seven-year career. On a sour note, the team missed the playoffs for the first time since 2011. Nonetheless, the Baldwin-Wilson connection remains one of the most reliable in the entire NFL.

Baldwin caught four passes for 35 yards and one touchdown on six targets against Dallas on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The volume was disappointing, but given that Russell Wilson threw for just 93 yards, this showing was a very strong one by Baldwin in terms of share percentages. Wilson should post bigger numbers against the Cardinals in Week 17, and such an outcome would present Baldwin the opportunity to accumulate some volume.

Baldwin posted his fewest receiving yards since 2014 in Sunday's loss to the Rams, catching one of four targets for six yards.
EDGE Analysis
Russell Wilson badly missed on a deep throw in the first quarter that would have changed Baldwin's fantasy fortunes. But it's disappointing the Seahawks couldn't get their best receiver more involved. Such is life for an inconsistent Seahawks offense that cannot run the ball at all, thereby allowing opponents to play nickel defense most of the game. However, Baldwin faces a Dallas defense in Week 16 that allows the fifth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

Baldwin brought in three of six targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin's 26-yard scoring grab with 7:32 remaining in the third quarter represented the Seahawks' first touchdown of the afternoon. It was also since the Week 11 loss to the Falcons and helped give the veteran receiver back-to-back strong performances. Baldwin has posted eight catches (on 13 targets) for 162 yards and Sunday's score in the last two games, and his contributions will undoubtedly be key in a Week 15 battle against the Rams.

Baldwin caught five of seven passes for 84 yards during Sunday's 24-10 victory over the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
On the heels of a disappointing performance against the lowly Niners, Baldwin put together a nice outing Sunday that could've been even better had he not stepped out of bounds at the one-yard line on a 47-yard pass from Russell Wilson. Though his production on a game-to-game basis is quite volatile, the Stanford product remains one of the most consistent contributors in the Seahawks' passing offense and should continue to serve as such as long as health allows. However, one concern for the player who's totaled 21 touchdowns in the two seasons prior is the emergence of Jimmy Graham, who leads the league in red-zone targets and seems to be siphoning Baldwin's scoring opportunities. As it stands, Baldwin's on pace for his lowest touchdown total since 2014.

Baldwin caught two of three targets for a season-low 25 yards in a win at the 49ers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Quarterback Russell Wilson spread the targets to eight receivers, which partially explains Baldwin's lack of involvement. A fourth target was wiped out on a defensive pass interference call. Also, Wilson attempted 34 passes, slightly fewer than the nearly 40 he averaged the previous six games. Add it all up, and Baldwin was left with a low-key day.

Baldwin caught two of six targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 34-31 loss to the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin was uncharacteristically quiet prior to scoring a 29-yard touchdown on Seattle's second-last offensive drive. While that salvaged his performance Monday, it also gave Baldwin a score in three of his last five games. With three 90-plus-yard outings over that span as well, Baldwin has considerable momentum going into a fantastic Week 12 matchup versus the 49ers.

Baldwin (groin) practiced fully Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After the Seahawks' previous game, a 22-16 win at Arizona, last Thursday, Baldwin self-reported a groin injury was to blame for an inability to get loose pregame. Still, he ripped off a 54-yard catch-and-run on his way to five receptions (on six targets) for 95 yards. Listed as a full practice participant one week removed from his statement, he was tagged with a hip concern rather than a groin issue. With his health not in question, Baldwin will take aim Monday at a Falcons defense that has surrendered 12.3 YPC and four touchdowns to wideouts over the last five contests.

Baldwin reported that he suffered a minor groin injury prior to Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin made his distaste of Thursday night games very clear, as he alluded to the fact that he was unable to get loose prior to the game, thus leading to his nagging groin injury. The veteran receiver was able to effectively play through the pain however, racking up 95 yards on five receptions. He'll have 10 days to recover prior to the Seahawks' Week 11 matchup with the Falcons next Monday night.

Baldwin caught seven of 12 targets for 108 yards and a touchdown in Seattle's 17-14 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
The touchdown went for 30 yards and was Seattle's longest play of the day. Since the Week 6 bye, Baldwin hasn't seen fewer than six receptions or ten targets and has touchdowns in two of his last three games. He continues to head the Seahawks' receiving corps as they travel to Arizona to take on the Cardinals in Week 10.
