Even though he missed all of the preseason after undergoing hamstring surgery, the Seahawks expect Doug Baldwin to play and man the slot at wide receiver this week against the Arizona Cardinals. The same can’t be said for Golden Tate, who was originally supposed to split snaps at one starting wide receiver spot with Braylon Edwards. Tate has a knee problem that will keep him out for this week and possibly even more as he has not been given a timetable for return. Edwards will start in his absence, opposite Sidney Rice.

It’s a situation to avoid in fantasy, especially with a 3^rd round rookie making his first regular season start under center. This receiving corps also won’t help Russell Wilson out much. The Seahawks are going to have to win a lot of games this year by running the football, playing strong defense, and avoiding turnovers, unless Wilson can prove his preseason was not a fluke.
