SUMMARY
Wide Receiver Rank: #179   
Overall: #561


Obomanu didn't have quite as many yards as his previous season but did set a career high with 37 receptions. He even got seven starts for the Seahawks but mainly served as a No. 3 or 4 receiver for the Seahawks. Obomanu has filled his role well the last two seasons, averaging 34 receptions for 465 yards and two touchdowns per season. He should fill a similar role this coming season, getting work as a No. 3 or 4 receiver. Obomanu isn't a huge target, but has pretty good speed and decent hands. His route running remains inconsistent, but he is making some improvement in that area.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Obomanu isn't going to improve much on the last two years. He is likely to finish with similar numbers, getting 35 or so catches for 450 yards with a score or two. He isn't much of a help to fantasy teams unless you are in a PPR league.
Seattle Seahawks WRs Golden Tate, Ricardo Lockette, Ben Obomanu and Deon Butler are expected to compete for the starting wide receiver position opposite WR Sidney Rice during training camp next season. The team sees WR Doug Baldwin as a long-term solution as the slot receiver.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said WR Ben Obomanu (knee) will sit out practice this week so he can rest his injured knee and will be a game-time decision for Week 17.
Fantasy Impact: Just don't bother with him this week.

Seattle Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin had two catches for 17 yards and a touchdown in the Week 16 game against the San Francisco 49ers. WR Ben Obomanu finished with 20 yards on two grabs, while WR Golden Tate had three catches for 16 yards. WR Deon Butler also chipped in with two snares for 13 yards. WR Ricardo Lockette actually led all wideouts with 44 yards on his only catch of the game.
Fantasy Impact: Baldwin is the only Seahawks receiver worth using right now.

Seattle Seahawks WR Ben Obomanu will take over for WR Mike X. Williams (ankle) as one of the starting wide receivers.
Fantasy Impact: He might be worth a look in deeper leagues but that might even be a reach.

Seattle Seahawks WR Ben Obomanu will move into the starting lineup in Week 13 against the Philadelphia Eagles Thursday, Dec. 1, in place of WR Sidney Rice (concussion), who is on the season-ending Injured Reserve list.
Fantasy Impact: He has a little value in deeper leagues but don't expect much in a below-average passing game.
