FREDDIE SWAIN NEWS

Snares 25 passes in 2021 Swain recorded 25 catches (40 targets) for 343 yards and four touchdowns and five carries for 32 yards through 17 games during the 2021 season. He also returned 22 punts for 189 ya...

Impact Despite effectively splitting time with rookie second-round pick Dee Eskridge down the stretch, Swain improved in every category after posting a 13-159-2 line as a rookie. Still, he didn't leave us with much to get excited about. His splash plays were typically just broken defensive coverages, and he caught just nine passes over the last 10 contests. Eskridge could overtake Swain completely in 2022, and Swain's best-case scenario is a timeshare with Eskridge.

Leading receiver in win Swain caught both of his targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 51-29 win over the Lions.

Impact Swain gained 58 yards on a broken play in the second quarter, setting up a six-yard touchdown run from Rashaad Penny on the next play. The second-year wide receiver managed to lead the team in receiving yards despite the blowout nature of this game, bringing his totals to 24 receptions for 318 yards and three touchdowns this season.

Targeted twice in loss Swain caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears. He also returned a punt for 15 yards.

Impact Swain has caught just six passes for 84 yards and a touchdown over the past seven games. He's still running ahead of rookie second-round pick Dee Eskridge, as Swain logged 26 snaps (49 percent) versus Eskridge's 20 snaps (38 percent). It's nearly impossible to carve out a consistent role behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, so Swain won't have much fantasy relevance this year.

Cleared to play Swain (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Swain played 91 percent of snaps last week with Tyler Locket (illness) unavailable for a loss to the Rams, but he was targeted just once despite the ample playing time. With Lockett returning this week, Swain will be the third or fourth receiver and isn't likely to see more than a few targets.

DECEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Two limited sessions to open week Swain (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Swain has been limited in each of Seattle's first two practice this week. He battled this injury during practice last week but upgraded to full participation Friday and suited up against the Rams. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Swain's able to follow the same pattern heading into Sunday's game against the Bears.

DECEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't capitalize on big usage Swain caught his lone target for 25 yards in Tuesday's 20-10 loss to the Rams. He also returned two punts for 14 yards.

Impact Tyler Lockett was out of the lineup due to COVID-19 protocol, so Swain handled his highest snap share of the season (91 percent), running ahead of Dee Eskridge (70 percent) after being out-snapped by the rookie last week. Swain didn't capitalize on the opportunity, but it's tough to peg the second-year receiver with the blame. QB Russell Wilson completed just 17 of 31 passes for 156 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. Swain split time with Eskridge as the No. 3 receiver if Lockett returns for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Seahawks WRs DK Metcalf, Dee Eskridge and Freddie Swain practice Friday The Seahawks had three receivers return to practice on Friday after not being able to go on Thursday.

Cleared for Week 15 game Swain (ankle/personal) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After all of Swain, DK Metcalf (foot/back) and Dee Eskridge (foot) were withheld from Seattle's first two practices of Week 15, the trio cleared up any concern about their availability for Seattle's upcoming game against the Rams by taking every rep during Friday's session. Even with the NFL announcing that the Seahawks-Rams matchup would be pushed back from Sunday to Tuesday due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Los Angeles organization, Seattle could still be without wideout Tyler Lockett (illness), who continues to experience symptoms after testing positive for the virus Thursday. If Lockett isn't cleared to play, Swain, Eskridge and Penny Hart would likely be in store for more reps alongside Metcalf.

Misses practice again Swain (ankle/personal) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Swain also sat out Wednesday, but the Seahawks' second Week 15 injury report revealed his absence to be related to personal reasons. He was joined by DK Metcalf (foot/back) and Dee Eskridge (foot) as DNPs on Thursday, while Tyler Lockett (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, leaving Penny Hart as the only healthy and available wide receiver on the team's active roster at the moment.

DECEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Held out of practice Swain (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Swain and rookie second-round pick Dee Eskridge, who out-snapped him Week 14, were both held out of Wednesday's practice. Both wideouts will have two more chances to practice before Sunday's road matchup against the Rams.

Out-snapped by rookie Swain failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans. He also rushed once for three yards and returned two punts for 31 yards.

Impact Swain had been losing ground to rookie second-round pick Dee Eskridge for the last few weeks, and he finally was out-snapped 28-25 by Eskridge this week. However, Eskridge was targeted just once but didn't haul in the pass. With the duo seemingly splitting time as the No. 3 receiver, there's not much room for fantasy production behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

DECEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Catches three passes Swain caught all three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers.

Impact Swain was targeted in the back of the end zone in the second quarter, but he didn't catch the pass and instead drew a pass interference penalty. Adrian Peterson scored on the next play. Swain recorded a 45 percent snap share and is seemingly losing some ground to rookie second-round pick Dee Eskridge (31 percent), who posted three receptions for 35 yards and a touchdown.
