Jets signed WR Ben Obomanu.
Former Seahawks GM John Idzik has his fingerprints on this one. Obomanu was reasonable receiver depth and a special teamer in Seattle, catching 87 passes for 1,209 yards with seven touchdowns over five seasons. He'll immediately slide in as the likely No. 4 wideout for the Jets, behind Santonio Holmes, Stephen Hill and Jeremy Kerley.

Seahawks released WR Ben Obomanu.
The special teamer was due $2.3 million in the final year of his deal. He finished the season on injured reserve with a wrist injury after playing in eight games. In 2011, Obomanu caught 37 passes, but just four last season. He was an obvious release candidate.

Fri Oct 19 201200:36Obomanu leads Seahawks in receiving in loss
Ben Obomanu caught three passes for 50 yards in Week 7 against the 49ers.
Obomanu caught three of his four targets, and the three catches and 50 yards led Seattle's anemic receiving corps. With Doug Baldwin leaving the game in the first half due to an ankle injury, Obomanu saw an uptick in playing time. He's not on the fantasy radar.

Thu Sep 13 201210:15Ben Obomanu fills in for Rice Wednesday
Ben Obomanu worked as the first-team flanker with Sidney Rice (knee) sidelined Wednesday.
It's a reminder that the Seahawks have very defined positions in their wideout corps. Obomanu is Rice's backup and Braylon Edwards/Golden Tate man the split end spot. Regardless, Rice's latest ailment is not thought to be serious.

Wed Dec 21 201110:40Ben Obomanu to start in place of Williams
Ben Obomanu will take Mike Williams' (injured reserve, ankle) place in the starting lineup.
Obomanu will line up opposite Golden Tate while Doug Baldwin mans the slot. It's really just a nominal promotion as Williams was rotating anyway. Obomanu is off the fantasy radar as he hasn't had more than three catches in a game since Week 8.

Tue Dec 13 201100:51Ben Obomanu has one-catch night
Ben Obomanu caught one pass for 13 yards in Seattle's Week 14 win.
One week after playing just eight snaps against the Eagles, Obomanu wasn't any more involved in the game-plan, drawing one target. He's off the radar in all formats of fantasy.

Fri Dec 2 201109:17Obomanu plays just eight snaps in Week 13
Seahawks WR Ben Obomanu played just eight snaps against the Eagles in Week 13.
Taking over as the No. 1 receiver with Sidney Rice out, Golden Tate easily led the way among Seattle wideouts with 51 snaps. Per Pro Football Focus, the rest of the snap counts are as follows: Big Mike Williams 27, Doug Baldwin 12, and Deon Butler 10. Tate is the only one worth carrying in standard-scoring leagues right now.

Thu Dec 1 201123:37Obomanu held to 28 yards in Week 13
Ben Obomanu was held to 28 yards on two receptions against the Eagles in Week 13.
Obomanu started opposite Golden Tate, but he drew just two targets on Tarvaris Jackson's 16 pass attempts. He's not worth a fantasy roster spot in a run-dominant offense.

Wed Nov 30 201108:19Ben Obomanu will start vs. Eagles
Ben Obomanu will start in place of Sidney Rice (concussions) against the Eagles Thursday.
Obomanu will see a full complement of snaps, but even desperate owners can do better. The weak spot of the Eagles' defense is on the inside with Joselio Hanson and Tarvaris Jackson loves throwing to slot man Doug Baldwin. Obomanu saw just four targets last week even though Rice missed the majority of the game.

Sun Nov 27 201120:05Ben Obomanu gets three grabs
Ben Obomanu caught three passes for 26 yards in Sunday's loss to the Redskins.
Obomanu functioned as the top outside receiver after Sidney Rice (head) left. But he managed just four targets and hasn't topped three catches in a game since Week 8. We can do better for fliers at the wideout spot, even if Rice misses time.

Tue Nov 22 201110:58Ben Obomanu dealing with leg injuries
Seahawks WR Ben Obomanu came out of Week 11 with a sore knee and ankle.
Obomanu hasn't been ruled out for this week's game against the Redskins, but coach Pete Carroll didn't sound optimistic. Sidney Rice, Doug Baldwin and Mike Williams figure to be the Seahawks' top three wideouts Sunday.

Sun Nov 6 201118:21Obomanu held to six yards in Week 9
Ben Obomanu caught two passes for just six yards against the Cowboys in Week 9.
Obomanu's role was reduced with Big Mike Williams returning for three catches on three targets for 41 yards. Owners who picked up Obomanu after his Week 8 breakout game should drop him heading into a tough matchup against the Ravens in Week 10.

Sun Sep 18 201117:51Obomanu leads Seahawks with 35 yards
Ben Obomanu "led" the Seahawks with four receptions and 35 yards against the Steelers in Week 2.
Obomanu did a nice job of making defenders miss after the catch, but he also had a bad drop. With Sidney Rice pushing to return in Week 3, Obomanu will likely head back to the No. 3 role.
