Kearse had three receptions (on seven targets) for 37 yards in Sunday's win at Philadelphia.
Kearse didn't make a major impact, but he had a spectacular diving catch for 20 yards at one point. He's scored just one touchdown this season, and isn't seeing a lot of targets in general, so he's probably only an option in deeper formats.

Kearse (ankle) is listed as active for Thursday's game against the 49ers.
Kearse is available if you need him Thursday, but with one-catch efforts in two of his last four outings, he's been a hit-or-miss fantasy option of late.

Kearse (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game in San Francisco, John Boyle of the Everett Herald reports.
Kearse has taken a large share of offensive snaps this season, but with merely 26 receptions (on 50 targets) for 380 yards and one touchdown through 11 outings, he's nothing more than a deep-league option at this stage in his young career.
Tue Nov 25 201421:06Kearse (ankle) listed as full participant in Tuesday's practice
Kearse (ankle) was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's practice, John Boyle of the Everett Herald reports.
Kearse emerged from Sunday's win over Arizona with a bit of an ankle issue and was projected as a limited participant Monday, but his return to a full projection Tuesday -- the Seahawks held another walkthrough -- suggests it's of relatively little concern. His status for Thursday's game against the 49ers is not believed to be in danger, but Kearse saw two targets last week and is averaging just 4.3 targets per game so far this season.

Kearse (ankle) was listed as a limited participant at Monday's walkthrough practice, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR reports.
The injury is presumably a new issue from Sunday's win over the Cardinals, but Kearse's status as a limited participant is a good sign for his chances of playing against the 49ers on Thanksgiving. He caught just one ball for 19 yards versus Arizona, after recording a season-high five receptions for 54 yards in Week 11 against the Chiefs.

Kearse caught 3-of-4 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Giants.
Kearse actually led Seattle in receiving yardage, although nearly all of his damage came on one-play; a pretty 60-yard bomb from Russell Wilson. He'll have a stiff test next week, facing a strong Chiefs' secondary.

Kearse has three catches on seven targets for 50 yards Sunday against the Rams.
With Percy Harvin traded to the Jets, Kearse figures to get more playing time opposite Doug Baldwin, who really took advantage of the added looks Sunday by catching seven of 11 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown. Kearse has now been targeted 14 times in the last two games combined, but he's not a big red zone target, and the Seahawks like to run the ball when they're in close, so his fantasy value, while increasing, is still pretty limited.

Kearse had three receptions on seven targets for 62 yards in Sunday's loss to Dallas.
Kearse had one long catch, a 53-yard grab early in the game, but wasn't a factor otherwise. The entire Seattle passing game struggled though, as Russell Wilson threw for just 126 yards. While he saw a lot of looks Sunday, he's just not getting enough targets in general to expect a breakout.

Kearse caught 1-of-2 targets for a 15-yard touchdown in Monday's 27-17 win over the Redskins.
Kearse caught his first touchdown of the season, after displaying a penchant for finding the end zone last year. He plays most of the offensive snaps, but spends a good deal of his time either blocking or running routes that aren't likely to draw the target. He has eight receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets through four games.

Kearse caught one pass for eight yards on three targets Thursday in Seattle's season-opening win against the Packers.
It was the Percy Harvin show for the most part, and Kearse never got much involved in the passing game. It will be interesting to see how that plays out. The Seahawks passed 28 times, but only 11 went to the three non-Harvin wide receivers. Kearse should get more targets and have bigger games, but his weekly production likely will be inconsistent.

Kearse did not catch a pass in Friday's preseason game against the Chargers.
While the Seahawks obviously don't figure to do a ton of passing, they still need someone to serve as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Percy Harvin and Doug Baldwin. Kearse is the clear favorite, albeit for a role that doesn't figure to come with many targets. That said, he's shown big-play ability in the past, and is just one injury away from potentially playing 50-plus snaps per game.
Sun Jul 27 201421:44Jermaine Kearse running with first-team O
Jermaine Kearse has consistently run as a first-team receiver in three-wideout sets at Seahawks camp.
Percy Harvin is playing Z and slot receiver, with Kearse and Doug Baldwin primarily on the perimeter. (Baldwin is playing Golden Tate's old position.) At 6-foot-1, 209 with impressive high-pointing ability, 24-year-old Kearse has a chance to take a step forward this season, and is a sneaky bet to lead Seattle in touchdown receptions. He scored TDs in the NFC title game and Super Bowl 48.

Sun Feb 2 201422:27Kearse goes for 4-65-1 in Super Bowl
Jermaine Kearse caught four balls for 65 yards and a touchdown in Seattle's Super Bowl stomping of Denver.
Kearse ripped off back-to-back receptions on Seattle's opening drive, good for gains of six and 12. He very nearly high-pointed a first-quarter touchdown but the pass was beautifully broken up by Broncos LB Nate Irving in the back of the end zone. Kearse later executed for a 23-yard score in the third quarter, pinballing off three would-be tacklers to give Seattle a decisive 36-0 edge. As Golden Tate enters free agency, jump-ball specialist Kearse will open the offseason as the Seahawks' No. 3 receiver behind Percy Harvin and Doug Baldwin.

Sun Jan 19 201423:14Jermaine Kearse has two-catch day
Jermaine Kearse caught two passes for 44 yards and a touchdown in Seattle's NFC Championship Game victory over the 49ers.
Kearse's score was a 35-yard grab on 4th-and-7 early in the fourth quarter. With San Francisco jumping offsides, Seattle earned a free play. Russell Wilson took a shot at Kearse, who beat Carlos Rogers in single coverage. Kearse nearly erased the good vibes later in the period, committing a goal-line fumble that was inexplicably rewarded to Seattle. The jump-ball specialist could be a Super Bowl X-factor, particularly if Percy Harvin (concussion) isn't ready to go.

Sat Jan 11 201420:34Jermaine Kearse has one-catch day vs. Saints
Jermaine Kearse caught one pass for 25 yards in Seattle's Divisional Round win over the Saints.
Kearse's second-quarter grab was his lone target of the afternoon. Kearse will be Seattle's No. 4 receiver for the NFC Championship Game if Percy Harvin (concussion) can get cleared.

Thu Dec 26 201319:07WR Kearse held out of Thursday's practice
Seahawks WR Jermaine Kearse (ankle) was held out of Thursday's practice.
Kearse wasn't known to be injured in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, so it's likely just a precaution ahead of this week's game against the Rams. Unless you're trying to fill out your roster with a bargain-basement salary, Kearse isn't a recommended option in daily leagues.

Sun Dec 22 201320:12Jermaine Kearse plays through ankle tweak
Jermaine Kearse caught three passes for 38 yards in Sunday's Week 16 loss to the Cardinals.
Kearse appeared to roll his ankle pretty severely, but came back into the game taped up and led the team in targets with a season-high seven. The local product out of Washington will continue to be a situational receiver and deep threat for the Seahawks.

Sun Dec 15 201316:26Kearse goes for 21 yards in Week 15 win
Jermaine Kearse caught two balls for 21 yards in the Seahawks' Week 15 win over the giants.
A jump-ball specialist No. 3 receiver behind Golden Tate and Doug Baldwin, Kearse is only worth rostering in the deepest of re-draft fantasy leagues.

Tue Dec 3 201300:57Kearse catches two passes in Week 13 win
Jermaine Kearse caught two passes for 26 yards in Week 13 against New Orleans.
Kearse saw three targets on the night as Seattle's No. 3 receiver. He may remain in that role for the rest of the regular season if Percy Harvin (hip) is shut down for the final four regular-season games. Still, he'd be nothing more than a WR5. Kearse has some dynasty appeal as a deep threat. He's played well in limited opportunities, and Golden Tate is set to be a free agent in March.

Sat Nov 30 201318:11Jermaine Kearse (concussion) listed probable
Seahawks WR Jermaine Kearse (concussion) is listed as probable for Week 13.
Kearse has been cleared from his concussion and will play in Monday night's game against the Saints. With Percy Harvin (hip) doubtful, he'll be the No. 3 receiver behind Golden Tate and Sidney Rice.
