Baldwin had three catches on three targets for 70 yards Sunday against the Bengals.
After catching 14 passes in the first two games of the season, Baldwin has grabbed exactly three in each of the last three, with Sunday's 70 yards the highest total over that span. The Seahawks' passing game is struggling thanks to poor offensive line play, which doesn't give Baldwin much time to get open. In addition, quarterback Russell Wilson spreads his targets around, leaving Baldwin with a relatively low opportunity for a breakout.

Baldwin hauled in three passes (on four targets) for 36 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's game against the Lions.
Baldwin started the scoring Monday night with a 24-yard touchdown reception during the second quarter, showing good field awareness to secure the catch in the back of the end zone. Now with two touchdowns through the Seahawks' first four games, Baldwin has also caught 20 of the 24 passes through his way this season, evidencing his solid understanding with quarterback Russell Wilson. Although Baldwin has only cracked the 40-yard barrier in one game this season, he remains a notable presence in Seattle's offense and has made the most of his opportunities to score thus far.

Baldwin caught seven passes for 92 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in Sunday's 27-27 loss to the Packers.
Despite the offseason acquisition of Jimmy Graham, it was Baldwin who led the Seahawks in targets, bringing his two-week total to a team-high 17. Though he can be counted on for a few receptions each week, Baldwin has never been a great source of yards or touchdowns, and there's not much reason to expect a change. He does get a soft matchup with the Bears in Week 3, but the Seahawks will be a heavy favorite, which figures to restrict his opportunities.

Baldwin caught seven of nine targets for 35 yards in Sunday's season-opening loss to the Rams.
The Seahawks didn't attempt many downfield throws, targeting Baldwin mostly near the line of scrimmage. With No. 1 option Jimmy Graham fighting double-teams on most plays, Baldwin could see a healthy number of targets each week as Russell Wilson goes through his progressions. But, like Sunday, Baldwin's yards aren't likely to be impressive.

Baldwin caught his only target for an eight-yard gain in Saturday's preseason game against the Chargers.
Assuming he won't play in the final contest, Baldwin had a quiet preseason, catching five passes for 36 yards in three games. No matter, he's locked in as the Seahawks' No. 1 wide receiver, albeit in a run-heavy offense that now features star TE Jimmy Graham.

Baldwin was not targeted in Friday's preseason opener against the Broncos.
Russell Wilson's five dropbacks only yielded one official pass attempt, with Jimmy Graham doing the honors on a nine-yard reception. Locked in as the Seahawks' No. 1 wide receiver, Baldwin again figures to see a modest volume of targets, as the Seahawks will largely rely on Graham and Marshawn Lynch, not to mention Wilson's rushing.
Sun Feb 1 201523:36Baldwin caught only target for three-yard touchdown in Sunday's ...
Baldwin caught his only target for a three-yard touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 Super Bowl loss to the Patriots.
Baldwin was shadowed by Darrelle Revis, and the result was somewhat predictable. While he's perhaps correct in his belief that many people underrate him, Baldwin is no match for a cornerback of Revis' caliber. The Seahawks finished with a 29:21 run:pass ratio (not including sacks), and the targets were gobbled up by Jermaine Kearse (six), Ricardo Lockette (five), and surprisingly Chris Matthews (five). Baldwin is signed through 2016, and it's possible he'll still be Russell Wilson's top target next season, but the Seahawks may look to add talent at wide receiver.

Baldwin caught six of nine targets for a team-high 106 receiving yards in Sunday's 28-22 overtime win over the Packers in the NFC Championship Game.
Though the Seahawks' passing offense struggled for much of the contest, Baldwin turned in a solid statistical effort for those who rostered him in Sunday's victory, a triumph that sends Seattle to its second consecutive Super Bowl.
Sun Jan 11 201500:27Baldwin caught three of four targets for 38 yards and touchdown ...
Baldwin caught three of his four targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's Divisional Round win over the Panthers.
Russell Wilson spread it around Saturday, targeting five different receivers at least three times, but none more than four times. Baldwin's 16-yard touchdown, his first score since Oct. 6, broke a 0-0 tie with less than a minute remaining in the first quarter.
Sun Dec 28 201422:53Baldwin caught 3-of-4 targets for 43 yards in Sunday's win over ...
Baldwin caught 3-of-4 targets for 43 yards in Sunday's win over the Rams.
Baldwin was overshadowed by rookie Paul Richardson, who caught 5-of-7 targets for a career-high 60 yards. Even still, Baldwin remains Seattle's No. 1 target in the passing game, and with homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, he doesn't make for a bad option for those participating in postseason fantasy leagues.

Baldwin caught 7-of-11 targets for 113 yards in Sunday's 35-6 win over the Cardinals.
Baldwin's night got a big boost midway through the third quarter, when Cardinals cornerback Antonio Cromartie took a spill that handed Seattle's top wideout a 49-yard gain. With Jermaine Kearse (hamstring) sidelined for most of the contest, Baldwin unsurprisingly led the team with 11 targets, followed by Paul Richardson's seven and Cooper Helfet's four. While easily the most consistent receiving option on his team, Baldwin still carries a ton of risk each week, playing in a run-heavy offense that likes to spread the ball around in the passing game. He'll face the Rams in Week 17 as the Seahawks look to lock up the No. 1 seed at home.

Baldwin caught 3-of-6 targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 17-7 win against the 49ers.
Other than a 35-yard catch, Baldwin was relatively quiet, taking a backseat to Jermaine Kearse, who had five receptions for a season-high 78 yards Sunday. Baldwin might find things tougher next week at Arizona, as he might have to deal with Patrick Peterson for most of the game.

Baldwin caught 5-of-7 targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-14 win at Philadelphia.
Baldwin toasted an Eagles' defender on his pretty 23-yard touchdown in the third quarter, and later drew a long pass interference penalty. It was a nice bounce-back performance for Baldwin, who had struggled in his previous two games, catching just 4-of-6 targets for 34 yards. He'll have a tougher test next week, facing a strong 49ers' defense.

Baldwin caught 2-of-4 targets for 28 yards in Thursday's 19-3 win over the 49ers.
Both of Baldwin's receptions came during the first quarter, and he then drew a target in the end zone early in the second quarter, only to see it deflected by 49ers LB Ahmad Brooks. While he's a solid bet to lead the Seattle wideouts in snaps, receptions and targets in any given game, Baldwin has not reached 50 yards since Week 8. He still can't be counted on for much, but a Week 14 matchup in Philadelphia should give him a decent chance to get back above that 50-yard mark.

Baldwin had just two receptions on two targets for six yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Cardinals.
Baldwin obviously didn't do much, but the Seahawks once again had minimal pass production, as Russell Wilson spread things around, completing 17-of-22 passes for 211 yards and a touchdown. It won't get much easier for Baldwin next week against a strong 49ers' defense on Thanksgiving.

Baldwin had six catches on nine targets for 45 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Chiefs.
Baldwin led the team in targets and receptions, while scoring his second touchdown of the season. After catching seven passes for 123 yards and a touchdown in Week 7, the first game after Percy Harvin was traded to the Jets, Baldwin has failed to reach 65 receiving yards, as the offense continues to be dominated by the rushing game. Up next is a Week 12 game against the Cardinals, who are allowing the third-most passing yards per game this season, while holding opponents to the second-fewest rushing yards per contest.

Baldwin (groin) caught four passes on five targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Giants.
The Seahawks dominated on the ground, so all their pass catchers had quiet games, including Baldwin, who was limited in practice this past week. He could have possibly had a long touchdown at one point, but Russell Wilson underthrew him, and the ball was intercepted. It won't get a lot easier for Baldwin in Week 11, facing a strong Chiefs' secondary.
Sun Nov 9 201415:04Baldwin (groin) active for Sunday's game against Giants
Baldwin (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Baldwin was able to log a full practice Friday, so his groin injury shouldn't be a significant concern. He's been targeted heavily in recent weeks (8.3 per game over the last three games), and should be able to find some success against an injury-riddled Giants secondary.
Fri Nov 7 201417:56Doug Baldwin: (Groin) Probable Against NYG
Baldwin (groin) is probable for Sunday's game against the Giants.
After logging a limited practice Thursday and a full practice Friday, Baldwin was declared ready to play against the Giants. Playing at home against a beat up Giants secondary, Baldwin is one of the better looking WR3 considerations this week.
Thu Nov 6 201419:36Doug Baldwin: (Groin) Limited Thursday
Baldwin (groin) was limited in practice Thursday.
After missing all drills Wednesday, Baldwin backed up his assertion that he plans to play in Week 10 with an appearance at practice. If he manages to achieve active status, he has burned Sunday's opponent, the Giants, in two career matchups, accruing 14 receptions (on 16 targets) for 207 yards and two touchdowns.
