The Seattle Seahawks were heading into Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams as headlines of Percy Harvin heading to the New York Jets were flooding the media. Questions began to surface as many wondered what kind of identity Seattle's offense would take on without the versatile playmaker on the team's roster. Quarterback Russell Wilson was quick to answer those questions with his performance in Sunday's loss. We're here to break down the individual fantasy performers.
Seahawks fantasy recap: Russell Wilson puts up monstrous numbers in loss to Rams
Seattle lost on the road to St. Louis, but Wilson put up huge fantasy numbers in the process. We take a look at the individual fantasy performances of the day.

Russell Wilson: Wilson threw for 313 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's loss. He added seven rushing attempts for an incredible 106 yards and one touchdown. Wilson is the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for 300 yards and rush for 100 yards in a game. He should end up as the top scoring quarterback of Week 7. Wilson will remain a QB1 against the Carolina Panthers in Week 8.
Doug Baldwin: With Percy Harvin shipped off to New York, Baldwin was the focal point of the Seahawks passing game. He caught seven of 11 targets for 123 yards and a touchdown. While Baldwin's performance was certainly impressive, the question remains if he can prove to be a consistent fantasy option. He deserves to be in the WR3 discussion moving forward, but it will be interesting to see how Wilson distributes the ball moving forward as defenses hone in on Baldwin.
Marshawn Lynch: Lynch rushed for 53 yards on 18 carries. He added two receptions for 18 yards to his day. Lynch actually found the end zone twice, but both scores were called back for penalties. As discouraging as Lynch's performance was for fantasy owners, the absence of Percy Harvin will likely lead to some extra carries for Lynch moving forward. He'll continue as an every week RB1 moving forward.
