Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin has been held to just 72 receiving yards combined over his last two games. A Week 7 matchup against the New York Giants might see Baldwin get contained once again.
Fantasy football start/sit Week 7: What to do with Doug Baldwin
The Seahawks are coming off of a bye week. Will a rested Doug Baldwin perform? We break down the fantasy implications.

The good news is Baldwin has had time to get over his groin injury and should be playing at a better pace on Sunday.
Fantasy impact: With 39 targets through five contests, Baldwin is seeing nearly eight looks per game, which is quite a healthy number for a go-to guy. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been able to turn his opportunities into much.
284 yards and a touchdown through five weeks just simply isn’t enough to be considered a WR1 in fantasy leagues. Still, Baldwin has shown he’s capable of putting together big games in the past. He’s still going to draw the start in the deepest of leagues.
Those rich at the receiver position or in 10-team formats can go ahead and sit him.
Recommendation: Sit
