Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin is not letting the top cornerbacks in the league shut him down. Sunday, Baldwin went head-to-head with Washington’s star CB Josh Norman and caught seven passes on 13 targets for 108 yards and a touchdown. This was Baldwin’s first 100-plus receiving yard game since Week 3.

Baldwin gets another tough matchup against Arizona Cardinals corner Patrick Peterson Thursday night. Baldwin lit up the Seahawks in their last face-to-face meeting for 171 yards and a touchdown. The Cardinals are vulnerable against the pass, allowing the fifth-most receiving yards to opposing wideouts. They are also one of only five teams that have given up at least 10 touchdowns to wide receivers.
Fantasy impact: The Seahawks offense struggled Sunday and Baldwin had over 100 yards receiving. That is very encouraging, but following his 100-plus-receiving-yard game in Week 3, Baldwin caught three passes for just 35 yards against the Indianapolis Colts. Baldwin is streaky, which is not fun in fantasy, but he has been pretty good the last three weeks with at least 50 receiving yards in each contest. He will be good for more than that against the Cardinals.
