2024 Fantasy Outlook
Eskridge is heading into the final year of his rookie contract, but he's not guaranteed a spot on the 53-man roster. After all, Eskridge has produced just 17 catches for 122 yards and a touchdown through three seasons, including no receptions in 2023. The Seahawks seemingly like what they have in Jake Bobo, and they recently signed Laviska Shenault, who may prove to be a more effective gadget player than Eskridge. If he makes the roster, he'll be mostly utilized as a returner. Read Past Outlooks

Taking part in OTAs
WRSeattle Seahawks
May 23, 2024
Eskridge (ribs) has been an active participant at the Seahawks' OTAs, Tim Weaver of Seahawks Wire reports.
ANALYSIS
Eskridge ended the 2023 campaign on injured reserve with a rib injury, but he now appears to be fully healthy at OTAs. The 27-year-old re-signed with Seattle in March after failing to record a reception over 16 offensive snaps in four games last season. The wide receiver has operated primarily as a return-specialist over the last two years, a role that he'll likely remain in with the Seahawks in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On roster bubble
WRSeattle Seahawks
May 22, 2024
Eskridge is on the roster bubble heading into the 2024 season, Jeremy Brener of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Eskridge has been a disappointment since the Seahawks selected him in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, and he failed to record a catch in 2023. Despite his draft pedigree, Eskridge is behind DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Laviska Shenault and Jake Bobo on the wide receiver depth chart ahead of training camp, leaving him in a battle for a roster spot. Eskridge missed the final six games of the 2023 season due to a rib injury.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
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.
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.
When the Seahawks selected Eskridge with their first pick - 56th overall - of the 2021 NFL Draft, he became the earliest wide receiver drafted by them since Paul Richardson at No. 45 in 2014. The team needed depth at the position after David Moore signed with the Panthers this offseason, but this decision nonetheless was a bit surprising. While Eskridge was quite productive at Western Michigan with a 34-784-8 line in just six games in 2020, he turned 24 years old in March and stands at just 5-9, 190 pounds. Tyler Lockett already is the primary slot receiver in Seattle's offense, though, so Eskridge's fit into the offense isn't immediately apparent. However, Eskridge demonstrated craftiness in the open field as a kick returner in college, meaning he could make an impact on special teams until he carves out a niche in Russell Wilson's passing tree.
