Baldwin Has Emerged as Wilson's Go-To Option

Baldwin has 10 touchdown catches the past four weeks and has been nearly unstoppable. Baldwin was a major factor for the Seahawks in their run to the Super Bowl last year, catching 66 passes for 825 yards and three touchdowns. He added 10 receptions for 147 yards and two scores during the postseason.

Baldwin's loss would be a major blow. Tight end Jimmy Graham is out for the season, and the Seahawks possess a group of wide receivers that lacks star power, including Jermaine Kearse and Tyler Lockett.

The team's running game and Russell Wilson's ability to stretch plays and create with both his arm and his legs are usually the staple of Seattle's offense, though injuries have even struck there, as Marshawn Lynch and Thomas Rawls are both out.
