Wideout Doug Baldwin has a tough test waiting for him when the Seattle Seahawks take on the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday. Baldwin rebounded from poor back-to-back outings in Week 13. Seattle’s top receiver caught five passes for 84 yards in the win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He failed to get more than 40 receiving yards in Weeks 11 or 12. Baldwin leads the Seahawks in every receiving category except touchdowns this season. He is third on the touchdown list behind tight end Jimmy Graham and WR Paul Richardson.

All of the Seahawks receivers have a tough matchup ahead against the Jaguars in Week 14. The Jaguars have given up the fewest yards and scores to opposing receivers this season. Baldwin has the easiest draw lining up in the slot against corner Aaron Colvin. Colvin and shut down corner Jalen Ramsey are battling injuries heading into Sunday’s matchup.
Fantasy impact: Baldwin does not have a lot of fantasy appeal this week. The Jaguars secondary is incredible, whereas the Seahawks passing game has been hit or miss this season. The seven-year slot receiver could get a lucky break if Colvin and Ramsey are unable to play. Even if they sit the game out, there is no guarantee Baldwin will have a big game Sunday.
