Seattle’s top wideout has turned a lucrative summer extension into an early-season surge, sitting first in the NFL in both receiving production and touchdown catches.
The Seahawks have leaned heavily on their star target, who has supplied the biggest share of the passing-game damage while helping drive the club’s offense.
Quick facts
- Seattle’s leading receiver signed a major contract extension during the summer.
- He currently tops the league in receiving yards.
- He also leads the NFL in touchdown receptions.
- The Seahawks may consider distributing more targets across the offense.
The central question for Seattle is whether to keep feeding its hottest playmaker at the current rate or widen the workload among its other receivers, tight ends and backs.
A broader target distribution could make the Seahawks less predictable, but the team also has clear evidence that its No. 1 option is producing at an elite level. For now, Seattle’s passing attack runs through the league’s most productive receiver.
