Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin will play Sunday against the St. Louis Rams despite dealing with a hamstring injury for most of the week. The Seahawks, who have already clinched a playoff berth, will aim to stay ahead of the Minnesota Vikings for the fifth seed in the NFC playoffs.
Doug Baldwin will play vs. Rams
Baldwin has been on a tear, with 10 touchdown catches in the last four games.

Baldwin has been a huge part of the Seahawks’ five-game winning streak, catching 27 passes for 426 yard and 10 touchdowns in that span. His 10 receiving touchdowns over the last four contests ties Jerry Rice for the single-season record.
Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson has played exceptionally well as of late, spreading the ball out to Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse and Tyler Lockett. Wilson has thrown 19 touchdowns and zero interceptions while posting a QB rating of 143.6 over the last five games.
With running back Thomas Rawls out for the rest of the year and Marshawn Lynch on the shelf since the middle of November, the onus has fallen on Wilson to carry the Seahawks through the second half of the season. He's certainly done that, and largely has Baldwin to thank.
