Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin

The Seahawks are going to have to work harder on offense this season as their defense continues to lose players from the Legion of Boom era. Doug Baldwin had a solid 2017 season even without hitting the 1,000 yard mark for the first time since 2014. While his yards were lower, he reached his second-highest touchdown numbers with eight.

Those touchdown numbers could likely go up in the upcoming season as red zone threat Jimmy Graham has moved on to the Green Bay Packers. Only receiving 12 red zone targets a season ago was in large part due to Graham last year who received 29 targets. With Graham out of the picture, Baldwin could be the main go-to guy in Seattle on that part of the field.

Last season was the lowest amount of targets that Baldwin has seen inside the red zone since 2014. I fully expect Baldwin to have double-digit touchdowns in 2018 with Graham out of the picture.
