Seattle Seahawks WR Jermaine Kearse may be a potential cap casualty in 2018, but ESPN's Sheil Kapadia considers the possibility of him being released this off-season "slim" as the team seems to value him more than people on the outside.

Fantasy Tip: Kearse was coming off a career season and disappointed in a big way in 2016, catching just 41 of 80 targets for 510 yards and a touchdown. With Doug Baldwin, Paul Richardson and Tyler Lockett all more deserving of targets, Kearse figures to be a fantasy non-factor again this year.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jermaine Kearse posted four receptions for 37 yards and a touchdown in the Week 16 game against the Arizona Cardinals. He was targeted nine times.

Fantasy Tip: Kearse stepped up his play with Tyler Lockett going down to an ugly injury, and Kearse might be worth using as a WR4 in fantasy league playing into Week 17.

Seattle Seahawks WRs Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse each played 70 of 82 possible snaps (85 percent) in Week 1. WR Tyler Lockett was in on 62 of the 80 snaps (76 percent).

Fantasy Tip: Kearse appears to be the No. 2 wide receiver behind Baldwin for now. The Seahawks may be using Lockett a little bit less in order to better preserve him for his integral return specialist role. Going forward, Baldwin is a weekly WR2 as long as Russell Wilson is healthy. Kearse is more of a WR4 consideration, while Lockett is in low-end WR3 territory. Lockett is arguably the Seahawks' best playmaking threat and has even more value in leagues that reward return yardage.

Updating previous reports, Seattle Seahawks WR Jermaine Kearse's three-year deal is worth $13.5 million with $6.3 million guaranteed and coming in 2016. He can earn $4.7 million in incentives and escalators.

Fantasy Tip: Kearse showed flashes last season but pegs around the WR4 range in fantasy.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jermaine Kearse has reached a three-year deal to re-sign with the Seahawks, according to a source. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed.

Fantasy Tip: Kearse hauled in 49 passes for 685 yards and five touchdowns with the Seahawks in 2015. Seattle could be in line to air it out more with Marshawn Lynch retired, but Kearse's inconsistency will likely continue to frustrate fantasy owners. He's a WR4 with upside for more.

Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent WR Jermaine Kearse said he does not plan to return to the Seahawks and is looking forward to finding a new home.

Fantasy Tip: Doug Baldwin will continue to be the main man in Seattle, and Kearse's inevitable departure means a bump in playing time and fantasy value for Tyler Lockett, who quickly turned into one of the best deep threats in the NFL in his rookie season. Jimmy Graham will benefit, too, and should still be viewed as a low-end TE1.

Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent WR Jermaine Kearse said he won't offer the team a hometown discount. "I love my hometown, but I've put in too much hard work to give a discount," Kearse said via text message. "My number one priority is to take care of my family's future, so I will consider all opportunities."

Fantasy Tip: Kearse made a statement with his 11-110-2 game in the divisional round, and he could be a WR3 target in the right situation.

Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent WR Jermaine Kearse said he hopes to re-sign with the Seahawks this offseason.

Fantasy Tip: Kearse was a solid part of the passing game this season and would have a similar role if returns to Seattle. He could be a late-round option in deeper leagues as well as point-per-reception leagues.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jermaine Kearse caught 11 passes for 110 yards and two touchdowns in the divisional round playoff game against the Carolina Panthers Sunday, Jan. 17.

Fantasy Tip: Kearse was a solid part of the team's passing game this season and finished the regular season with 685 yards and five touchdowns. Kearse should have a similar role if he is back with the team and could be a late-round pick in deeper leagues.

Seattle Seahawks WR Jermaine Kearse (calf) was a full participant in practice Friday, Dec. 25, and is listed as probable to face the St. Louis Rams in Week 16.

Fantasy Tip: Kearse ($4,500, 9.0% of cap) has been playing well of late and is coming off his best game of the season. As well as the Seattle passing attack has been, Kearse isn't the worst mid-priced receiver to take a chance on at FantasyScore.
