The receiver’s scoring drought is definitely not due to a lack of passes coming his way, since he still leads all Seahawks players in targets this year. Seattle has only thrown for seven touchdowns all season, so Baldwin is not the only member of the team struggling to score points in 2016.
Fantasy Impact: This Sunday night, the Seahawks will be taking on the New England Patriots in a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX.
The Patriots are giving up the sixth fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2016. New England has only allowed the position group to catch three touchdowns in its past three games.
Yahoo! actually thinks Baldwin will score a touchdown on Sunday and also finish with five catches for 66 yards. He could be a solid flex option this week, but fantasy owners should stress over the thought of benching the receiver.
