Doug Baldwin has been a ghost in the Seattle Seahawks offense the past two games while quarterback Russell Wilson struggles to throw the ball. The seven-year slot receiver caught four passes on six targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in a crucial win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday to help keep the Seahawks playoff hopes alive. Baldwin only has five catches for 41 yards in the last two games. He salvaged his day in Week 16 with a 6-yard score in the fourth quarter.

The Seahawks must-win against the Arizona Cardinals Sunday in order to claim the final NFC wild-card spot. The Cardinals have been average against receivers all season. Baldwin had a great game against the Cardinals in Week 10. He caught five passes for 95 yards in the Seahawks win.
Fantasy impact: Baldwin will not stay quiet in a win-or-go-home scenario for the Seahawks. The Seahawks are going to pull out all the stops for the final game of the season. Baldwin will get a lot of targets in this contest, and the Cardinals will not be able to contain him all game. He should be in your lineup for the final game of the season.
