SUMMARY
Wide Receiver Rank: #152   
Overall: #496


Obomanu set career highs in receptions, yards and touchdowns last season, finding his way into a fairly prominent role about halfway through the season. He had touchdowns three of four games from Week 9 to 12. Obomanu had a career performance Week 12, catching five passes for 159 yards and a touchdown. He did fade some after his big stretch of games, having 40 or fewer yards in every game the rest of the way. Obomanu has 46 career receptions in 42 games. He isn't likely finding his way the starting lineup this season, but could serve as the No. 3 or 4 receiver for the Seahawks. 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 is a long shot to improve on last season. He might have hit his peak in 2010. Unless he surprises and finds his way into a consistent role, don't bother with him on your roster.
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 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.
