2023 Fantasy Outlook
Despite being a second-round pick in 2021, Eskridge has logged just 17 offensive snaps per game through two seasons, leading to 17 total receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown. It appears the Seahawks would like to use Eskridge as a gadget player with some kick-return duties. That will likely be the extent of his role in 2023 now that rookie first-rounder Jaxon Smith-Njigba joined DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett at the top of the depth chart, and there's no guarantee that Eskridge is even the team's No. 4 WR. On top of that, Eskridge is suspended for the first six games of the season. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Rejoins Seattle
Eskridge (ribs) signed a one-year, $1.055 million contract with the Seahawks on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2021 second-round pick has been a massive disappointment given the draft capital invested, but Eskridge has proven to be a decent returner, registering 370 kick return yards over the past two years. The third-year wide receiver has yet to play a full season and most recently missed time last campaign due to a ribs injury that kept him out the final six contests.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Leap anticipated in 2022
Coach Pete Carroll expects Eskridge to make a leap from his rookie 2021 campaign to next season, Liz Mathews of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Eskridge suffered a concussion severe enough in his NFL debut Week 1 to not play again until Week 10. Once he returned from a seven-game absence, the 2021 second-rookie played a bit part in the offense and eventually finished the year with 10 catches on 20 targets for 64 yards and one touchdown to go with four carries for 59 yards. Clearly, Eskridge exhibited a multi-faceted skill set, but the early injury delayed any momentum he may have been able to build to begin his career. As evidence, Carroll said of Eskridge after the season, "He can run it, he can catch it, he can block, and he has a great work ethic, so there is nothing holding him back."

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Eskridge was considered a reach in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, and producing just 10 catches for 64 yards and a touchdown over 10 games as a rookie didn't help his cause. While he failed to distinguish himself as the No. 3 wide receiver over Freddie Swain, Eskridge did receive some designed plays, as evidenced by his four rushes for 59 yards. The 5-foot-9, 190-pound wideout has 4.40 speed and should get opportunities this season, but even if he shows flashes, he'll likely be frustrating for fantasy managers in an offense that already features DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Noah Fant.
