Editor’s update: Adam Schefter is reporting Baldwin, “is going to try to play Sun night vs. Colts with groin injury, per source.” Groin injuries are tricky, and with this being a Sunday night game, you’ll want to keep an eye out for reports throughout the morning pre-game shows.

The Seattle Seahawks are listing Doug Baldwin as questionable for Week 4. Head coach Pete Carroll added Friday that Baldwin will be a game-time decision, though Baldwin did say the plan is for him to play, according to The News Tribune reporter Gregg Bell.
This is terrible news for fantasy owners of Baldwin, as Seattle hosts the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football. That means we won’t know if Baldwin is in or out until most, if not all of your starting lineup has been set.
Baldwin is usually a must-start in fantasy football, but a series of unfortunate circumstances may lead to him being benched this week. He is dealing with a groin injury that kept him out of practice this week.
Fantasy Impact: If active, Baldwin would face a Colts defense allowing the fourth-most passing yards per game. Unless you have other receiver options for Sunday or Monday Night Football, keep Baldwin benched this week. If he plays and you still can get him in your lineup Sunday evening, do so.
