Picks up hip injury Sunday
Swain injured his hip during Sunday's 31-28 win versus the Chargers.
Analysis: Prior to his departure in the fourth quarter, Swain hauled in two of three targets for 54 yards and muffed a punt that was recovered by teammate Delarrin Turner-Yell. With the Broncos' season over, Swain will conclude it with four catches (on six targets) for 74 yards in four appearances between Miami and Denver.

Catches one pass in loss
Swain caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 51-14 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Swain caught just one pass for the second-straight week with the Broncos. The 24-year-old played a healthy number of snaps behind Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton, as the wideout was on the field for 50 of Denver's 67 offensive snaps. With that said, Swain should not be relied upon for fantasy purposes despite his spike in snap share, as he is low on the pecking order for receiving targets on a struggling offense. The veteran receiver should remain off the fantasy radar as the Broncos visit the…read more

Finds new home
Swain was signed off the Dolphins' practice by the Broncos on Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: Swain will reunite with former Seahawks teammate Russell Wilson, as Courtland Sutton and Kendall Hinton are both dealing with hamstring injuries. The 24-year-old suited up Sunday for Miami against the Chargers, which was his first appearance of the season. It's not yet clear if Sutton and Hinton's status for Sunday's game with the Cardinals will impact whether he is active for the game.

Returns to practice squad
Swain reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Swain received the bump up for Sunday's game against the Chargers with River Cracraft (calf) sidelined. The 24-year-old saw seven snaps on offense but failed to tally any stats. Depending on Tyreek Hill (ankle) and Cracraft's status for Week 15 against Buffalo, Swain could receive another elevation to the active roster.

Joining active roster at Chargers
Miami elevated Swain from its practice squad to the 53-man roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Chargers.
Analysis: After working through an injury for most of the start of the season, Swain appears set to potentially make his 2022 debut Sunday night. The 2020 sixth-rounder caught 25 of 40 targets for 343 yards and four touchdowns with Seattle in 2021.

Ready to return
Swain was restored to the Dolphins' practice squad from the practice squad injured list Monday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Swain has been on the injured list since Oct. 25. Now that he's healthy, he'll be able to continue working to earn an active roster sport. The third-year-pro appeared in all 17 games for the Seahawks last season, recording 25 catches for 343 yards and four touchdowns, but he has yet to earn a chance to play a game for Miami this season.

Will miss at least four games
Miami placed Swain (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Tuesday.
Analysis: Swain will be ineligible for elevation for at least four weeks while on the practice squad injured list due to an undisclosed injury. However, the veteran wideout has yet to appear in a game this season, so his absence shouldn't have an impact on Miami's active roster.

Joins Miami's practice squad
The Dolphins signed Swain to their practice squad Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Swain was waived by Seattle on Tuesday after he secured just one of four targets for six yards while returning two punts for nine yards over two preseason appearances with the Seahawks. However, he'll now attempt to carve out a role as part of the Dolphins' practice squad.

Cut by 'Hawks
The Seahawks waived Swain on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After missing Seattle's preseason opener due to a back injury, Swain didn't do much with his opportunities in the team's final two exhibitions, gathering in just one of his four targets for six yards and returning two punts for nine yards. Behind top wide receivers Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, Swain was competing with the likes of 2021 second-round pick Dee Eskridge, Marquise Goodwin (hamstring), seventh-round rookie Bo Melton and Penny Hart for a roster spot. Swain is subject to waivers, but…read more

Quiet in preseason finale
Swain failed to catch his lone target in Friday's 27-26 preseason loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Swain didn't play in the first preseason game and he caught just one pass for six yards in the second preseason outing. There's a chance that the Seahawks cut Swain on Tuesday, but he'll likely make the team as a dependable receiver with special-teams ability. Last year, he caught 25 passes for 343 yards and four touchdowns.

Catches one pass
Swain caught one of three targets for six yards in Thursday's 27-11 preseason loss to the Bears. He also returned two punts for nine yards.
Analysis: Swain dropped a pass on third down to end the Seahawks' first drive of the game, and he wasn't very effective through 18 offensive snaps. However, it's worth noting that Swain has been the No. 3 receiver when healthy in camp, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. Swain still needs to continue to prove himself, but he has a good chance to make the 53-man roster.

Returns to practice
Swain (back) took part in practice Tuesday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Swain was sidelined for the Seahawks' preseason opener at Pittsburgh due to a tight back, but in his return to practice he consistently served as the third wide receiver behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf. When healthy, it's Swain's spot to lose after he earned 914 offensive snaps over 33 games the last two seasons. The role is a modest one, though -- the 2020 sixth-rounder has totaled a 38-502-6 line on 61 career targets, and that was with Russell Wilson under center for Seattle.

To sit out Saturday
Swain (back) isn't in line to play during Seattle's preseason matchup against Pittsburgh on Saturday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Analysis: Swain is dealing with back tightness that will force the expected absence, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. With fellow Seattle wide receivers Marquise Goodwin (hamstring) and Dee Eskridge (hamstring) also expected to sit out, rookies Bo Melton and Dareke Young should see increased snaps out wide while Penny Hart also gets more punt-return opportunities.

Snares 25 passes in 2021
Swain recorded 25 catches (40 targets) for 343 yards and four touchdowns and five carries for 32 yards through 17 games during the 2021 season. He also returned 22 punts for 189 yards.
Analysis: Despite effectively splitting time with rookie second-round pick Dee Eskridge down the stretch, Swain improved in every category after posting a 13-159-2 line as a rookie. Still, he didn't leave us with much to get excited about. His splash plays were typically just broken defensive coverages, and he caught just nine passes over the last 10 contests. Eskridge could overtake Swain completely in 2022, and Swain's best-case scenario is a timeshare with Eskridge.

Leading receiver in win
Swain caught both of his targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 51-29 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Swain gained 58 yards on a broken play in the second quarter, setting up a six-yard touchdown run from Rashaad Penny on the next play. The second-year wide receiver managed to lead the team in receiving yards despite the blowout nature of this game, bringing his totals to 24 receptions for 318 yards and three touchdowns this season.

Targeted twice in loss
Swain caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears. He also returned a punt for 15 yards.
Analysis: Swain has caught just six passes for 84 yards and a touchdown over the past seven games. He's still running ahead of rookie second-round pick Dee Eskridge, as Swain logged 26 snaps (49 percent) versus Eskridge's 20 snaps (38 percent). It's nearly impossible to carve out a consistent role behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, so Swain won't have much fantasy relevance this year.

Cleared to play
Swain (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Swain played 91 percent of snaps last week with Tyler Locket (illness) unavailable for a loss to the Rams, but he was targeted just once despite the ample playing time. With Lockett returning this week, Swain will be the third or fourth receiver and isn't likely to see more than a few targets.

Two limited sessions to open week
Swain (ankle) remained limited at practice Thursday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Swain has been limited in each of Seattle's first two practice this week. He battled this injury during practice last week but upgraded to full participation Friday and suited up against the Rams. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Swain's able to follow the same pattern heading into Sunday's game against the Bears.

Can't capitalize on big snap count
Swain caught his lone target for 25 yards in Tuesday's 20-10 loss to the Rams. He also returned two punts for 14 yards.
Analysis: Tyler Lockett (illness) was out of the lineup after testing positive for COVID-19, allowing Swain to handle his highest snap share of the season (91 percent). Swain didn't capitalize on the opportunity, but it's tough to put too much blame on the second-year receiver. Quarterback Russell Wilson completed just 17 of 31 passes for 156 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in what was another rough outing in his return from finger surgery. Swain will likely split time with Dee Eskridge as the…read more

Analysis: After all of Swain, DK Metcalf (foot/back) and Dee Eskridge (foot) were withheld from Seattle's first two practices of Week 15, the trio cleared up any concern about their availability for Seattle's upcoming game against the Rams by taking every rep during Friday's session.

Swain (ankle/personal) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Swain also sat out Wednesday, but the Seahawks' second Week 15 injury report revealed his absence to be related to personal reasons. He was joined by DK Metcalf (foot/back) and Dee Eskridge (foot) as DNPs on Thursday, while Tyler Lockett (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, leaving Penny Hart as the only healthy and available wide receiver on the team's active roster at the moment.

Held out of practice
Swain (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Out-snapped by rookie
Swain failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 33-13 win over the Texans. He also rushed once for three yards and returned two punts for 31 yards.
Analysis: Swain had been losing ground to rookie second-round pick Dee Eskridge for the last few weeks, and he finally was out-snapped 28-25 by Eskridge this week. However, Eskridge didn't make any more of an impact than Swain did, getting targeted just once as well and failing to haul it in. With the duo seemingly splitting time as the No. 3 receiver, there's not much room for fantasy production behind DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Catches three passes
Swain caught all three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-23 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Swain was targeted in the back of the end zone in the second quarter, but he didn't catch the pass and instead drew a pass interference penalty. Adrian Peterson scored on the next play. Swain recorded a 45 percent snap share and is seemingly losing some ground to rookie second-round pick Dee Eskridge (31 percent), who posted three receptions for 35 yards and a touchdown.

Snares touchdown in loss
Swain caught one pass on two targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 17-15 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Swain failed to catch a pass in the previous three games, but he managed to haul in his third touchdown of the season in Week 12. The second-year receiver didn't cede much ground to rookie Dee Eskridge, as Swain logged a 66 percent snap share compared to Eskridge's 28 percent. Still, Swain shouldn't be considered a weekly fantasy option as long as DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are healthy. Through 11 games, Swain has 17 receptions for 201 yards and three touchdowns.

Third straight catchless week
Swain failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Swain was on the field for 20 of 49 offensive snaps (37 percent). The second-year pro failed to haul in a pass for a third straight week, though Russell Wilson only completed 14 passes in Week 11. Swain's role in this offense isn't guaranteed, as Dee Eskridge -- who played 11 snaps Sunday -- could be in the conversation for more opportunities.

No catches in loss
Swain didn't catch any of his three targets during Sunday's 17-0 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Swain handled 41 of 61 offensive snaps (67 percent) but failed to catch a pass for the second straight week. The second-year receiver has handled at least 62 percent of the snaps in seven of the last eight games. Rookie second-round pick Dee Eskridge returned to the lineup Sunday after dealing with a concussion and logged just five offensive snaps, and he's the only credible threat to Swain's No. 3 receiver role.

No targets in win
Swain wasn't targeted in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Swain logged 37 offensive snaps, as Geno Smith utilized a narrow passing tree with Tyler Lockett (12) and DK Metcalf (six) receiving a bulk of the targets. The 2020 sixth-round pick scored twice through the first four weeks of the season, but he has recorded just 44 yards and no touchdowns over the past four games. He'll continue to be an inconsistent fantasy option when the Seahawks return from their bye for a Week 10 matchup against the Packers.

Five touches in loss
Swain had four receptions (six targets) for 39 yards and one carry for eight yards in Monday's 13-10 loss to New Orleans.
Analysis: Swain turned in a solid all-around effort after struggling mightily over his last two contests. DK Metcalf (two receptions on five targets) drew the tough matchup against shutdown corner Marshon Lattimore, which likely resulted in the season-high six targets for Swain. The 22-year-old doesn't provide enough upside to warrant fantasy consideration against the Jaguars next week.

Tough sledding in loss
Swain caught two of three targets for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Geno Smith didn't take many deep shots in the primetime matchup, and Swain couldn't do much with the pair of screen passes he hauled in. However, he did recover DK Metcalf's fumble late in the fourth quarter, giving the Seahawks' the opportunity to tie the game with a 43-yard field goal as regulation expired. Swain should remain as the No. 3 receiver in Week 7 against the Saints, but he doesn't have much upside as long as Smith is under center.

Swain record a nine-yard reception on three targets in Thursday's 26-17 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Swain now has 10 receptions on 15 targets for 134 yards and two scores through the first five games while adding 21 yards on three carries. With Dee Eskridge (concussion) on injured reserve, Swain will have at least three more games as the No. 3 wideout in Seattle. However, the bigger storyline is whether Russell Wilson (finger) will be ready for the Seahawks' Week 6 matchup against the Steelers.

Scores second TD
Swain caught three of four targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-21 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Swain handled 45 percent of the offensive snaps in Sunday's key divisional win. His afternoon was highlighted by an impressive end-zone catch in the third quarter that put the Seahawks up 21-7. The second-year receiver out of Florida now has nine catches for 125 yards and two scores through four games. His role may drop off once rookie second-rounder Dee Eskridge (concussion) returns to action.

Rings up 21 yards
Swain caught one of two targets for 10 yards and rushed once for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Swain is getting some of the gadget work that David Moore left behind when he signed in Carolina, as he has received eight targets and three rushing attempts through three games. The second-year wideout out of Florida has some upside, but he'll be tough to depend on once Dee Eskridge (concussion) returns to the lineup.

Cleared for Week 3 road tilt
Swain (back) doesn't appear on the final injury report ahead of Sunday's game in Minnesota, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: Swain raised his practice participation throughout the week after failing to practice Wednesday, and he was able to gain clearance for what's expected to be a high-scoring affair Sunday. He hauled in a 68-yard touchdown on a busted coverage last week and will continue to see opportunities as Seattle's No. 3 wide receiver with opposing defenses focused on containing Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf.

Analysis: After failing to log any practice reps Wednesday, Swain was on the field one day later, per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. It's unclear exactly how much Swain was able to do, but he seems to be ramping up his workload with the weekend drawing closer. Assuming he's available Sunday at Minnesota, he'll serve as the Seahawks' No. 3 wide receiver, per usual.

Tending to back injury
Swain didn't practice Wednesday due to a back injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Analysis: The bulk of Swain's 5-95-1 receiving line in the Week 2 overtime loss to Tennessee occurred on a 68-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, which by far the longest play of his one-plus seasons in the NFL. With David Moore moving on in the offseason, Swain has slid into the No. 3 wide receiver role for the Seahawks behind starters DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, a reality that could free him up for big plays like the one he produced against the Titans.

Swain caught all five targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Titans. He also rushed once for five yards.
Analysis: Swain never recorded more than three receptions or 37 receiving yards in a game during his rookie season, but he capitalized Sunday as the clear No. 3 receiver against a putrid Titans secondary. The highlight of his afternoon was a wide-open 68-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter to put the Seahawks up two scores, though they ended up squandering the lead.

Dismal production in win
Swain rushed once for five yards but didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Swain was the clear No. 3 wideout to start the game. However, when both Dee Eskridge -- who was selected in the second round back in April -- and Penny Hart left with concussions, Swain still failed to do much with the opportunity, as Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf combined for 160 yards and three scores.

Blanked in final preseason contest
Swain failed to bring in his only target in the Seahawks' 27-0 preseason win over the Chargers on Saturday night.
Analysis: Meanwhile, Swain saw his primary competitor for the No. 3 receiver job, rookie D'Wayne Eskridge, contribute 28 total yards on two touches. The disparity in Saturday's performance, coupled with reports Eskridge had quickly been making up ground in practice after a late start to camp due to a toe injury, could be enough to relegate Swain to No. 4 duties to open the season.

Three grabs in preseason loss
Swain secured three of four targets for 29 yards in the Seahawks' 20-7 preseason loss to the Raiders on Saturday night.
Analysis: The 2020 sixth-round pick got his exhibition slate off to a solid start with Saturday's performance, one that saw him check in second on the team in both receptions and receiving yards. After seeing action in all 16 games as a rookie and producing a 13-159-2 line, Swain appears to have the inside track on the No. 3 receiver job, particularly with rookie second-round pick D'Wayne Eskridge (toe) still on the PUP list heading into the new week.

Aiming for No. 3 spot
Swain is competing for the No. 3 wide receiver role during training camp, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: When David Moore left for Carolina in March, the door opened for Swain -- who posted 13-159-2 line over 16 games as a rookie -- to capture a starting job on the outside opposite DK Metcalf. However, the Seahawks' selection of D'Wayne Eskridge in the second round made that path less certain. Eskridge has yet to participate in training camp due to a nagging toe injury, so Swain, a 2019 sixth-round pick, has a head start. Nevertheless, Eskridge should have an advantage once he's healthy because of…read more

Competition ahead
Swain will compete for the No. 3 wide receiver role after the Seahawks selected D'Wayne Eskridge in the second round of last week's draft, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: As a rookie last year, Swain produced a mere 13-159-2 line over 16 games, failing to cement himself as the No. 3 receiver. In turn, the Seahawks made a deliberate effort to fill the void last weekend, selecting Eskridge higher than any wide receiver they've taken since Paul Richardson in 2014.There are fair criticisms that Eskridge was a reach at 56th overall, but the fact that he was the Seahawks' first pick of the draft can't be discounted.

Finishes modest rookie season
Swain caught his lone target for 28 yards in Saturday's 30-20 wild-card loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Swain proved his ability to catch the long ball this year, albeit in a limited sample. The rookie sixth-rounder out of Florida finished with 13 receptions (21 targets) for 159 yards and two touchdowns across 16 regular-season games, and three receptions of longer than 20 yards are included in that stat line.

Rings up 159 yards in 2020
Swain didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 26-23 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Swain suited up for all 16 games in his rookie season, averaging 22 snaps per outing and posting a 13-159-2 line. The sixth-round pick out of Florida will enter the postseason as the clear No. 4 wide receiver behind DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and David Moore.

Not targeted in divisional win
Swain wasn't targeted in Sunday's 20-9 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Swain has received just 20 targets through 15 games, turning those looks into a 12-159-2 line. The rookie sixth-rounder will generate volatile production unless one of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett or David Moore suffer an injury.

Snags one pass
Swain caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 20-15 win over Washington.
Analysis: Swain was also targeted on a deep pass down the left sideline in the second quarter, but he failed to get his feet down in the end zone. It was an impressive display of his abilities nonetheless, as the rookie has proven to have some big-play upside this year. Swain now has a 13-159-2 line through 14 games.

Finds end zone in win
Swain caught two of three targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Jets.
Analysis: The blowout nature of Sunday's game afforded Swain increased playing time, as he logged 33 snaps on offense -- his highest number since Week 3. The rookie sixth-round pick capitalized; he broke a three-game catchless streak and scored his second touchdown of the year. Swain sports a modest 12-156-2 line through 13 games.

Another catchless outing
Swain didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: For the sixth time in seven games, Swain finished without a reception. He did return three kicks for 66 yards, but none of his returns went farther than 25 yards. The rookie sixth-rounder is not in fantasy consideration as long as DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are healthy.

No usage on MNF
Swain wasn't targeted over 34 snaps on offense in Monday's 23-17 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: For the fifth time in six games, Swain didn't catch a pass despite playing the same number of snaps as David Moore, who scored his fifth touchdown of the year Monday. Swain is still getting his footing at the NFL level as a rookie out of Florida. He's sporting a 10-134-1 line after 11 games.

Active for MNF
Swain (foot) is active for Monday's game versus the Eagles.
Analysis: David Moore (hip) is also active, meaning Swain will slot in as the No. 4 wide receiver. The rookie sixth-round pick has posted a 10-134-1 line through 10 games. He's been targeted in the end zone a few times recently, and he'll need to capitalize on those looks to offer any fantasy value Monday.

Questionable for MNF
Swain (foot) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Eagles, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Analysis: David Moore (hip) is also listed as questionable. Coach Pete Carroll said Saturday that Swain will be ready for Monday's game, but he sounded far less optimistic about Moore's chances to play. Therefore, Swain may serve as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf. The rookie hasn't broken out by any measure, but Russell Wilson has been willing to target Swain in the end zone this season. That's worth some intrigue in deeper fantasy formats.

Rings up 37 yards
Swain caught three of four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: The rookie sixth-round pick played 37 percent of the snaps on offense, his highest workload since Week 5, and he capitalized on the opportunity with a career high in yardage. He's getting some deep looks, too, especially in the end zone, proving that Russell Wilson trusts him in critical areas. That could be crucial in Thursday's game against the Cardinals if Tyler Lockett (knee) is ruled out.

Will make Week 10 appearance
Swain (foot) is active heading into Sunday's matchup against the Rams.
Analysis: Limited practice sessions for Swain on Thursday and Friday kept his status for Week 10 up in the air entering Sunday morning, but the sixth-round rookie is seemingly well enough to battle through his foot issue. The Florida product had no injury problems through the first two months of the season, making eight appearances while recording a total of seven receptions, 97 yards and one touchdown for the Seahawks' high-flying offense. Swain has garnered 20 or more offensive snaps in five of his…read more

Tagged as questionable for Sunday
Swain (foot) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
Analysis: Swain was limited in practice Thursday and Friday, and he'll carry an injury tag into the weekend for the first time this season. The rookie sixth-rounder has maintained a consistent role on offense, but he's failed to catch a pass in three straight games, operating as the clear No. 4 behind Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and David Moore. With Penny Hart (knee) also questionable, the Seahawks may need to call up a practice squad receiver to fill the void.

Records 32 yards
Swain caught two of three targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 31-23 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Swain snagged exactly one pass in each of the first three games, but he was on Russell Wilson's radar more in Week 4. The rookie sixth-rounder nearly reeled in an end-zone target, too, but he failed to get both feet down despite an acrobatic effort. The Seahawks like Swain's potential, as he finished third among the team's wideouts by playing 27 of 63 offensive snaps (43 percent), although David Moore (3-95-1) was more productive on fewer opportunities.

Records 13-yard catch
Swain caught his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Swain out-snapped David Moore (34-31) for the first time this season, but both players recorded just one reception Sunday. Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf continue to be the focal points of this offense, so Swain and Moore are simply touchdown-dependent fantasy options. Their values will both take a hit once Phillip Dorsett (foot) returns, but that won't happen until Week 7 against the Vikings at the earliest.

Registers first career TD
Swain caught a 21-yard touchdown in his lone target in Sunday's 35-30 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Swain was afforded a decent workload with Phillip Dorsett (foot) still out of the lineup, and he came through, getting wide open on an underneath route and essentially walking into the end zone in the second half. The TD was more of a schemed play rather than a true feat of talent, so there's still minimal fantasy value for the rookie sixth-rounder, especially once Dorsett comes back.

Makes first NFL reception
Swain hauled in a 17-yard pass in Sunday's 38-25 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Swain made the final roster over Paul Richardson and 2019 seventh-round pick John Ursua, and he was immediately called upon with Phillip Dorsett (foot) sitting out. The Florida product played 16 of 62 snaps (26 percent) as the clear No. 4 receiver in Seattle. If Dorsett returns in Week 2 against the Patriots, Swain could be pushed out of the offensive gameplan.

Makes 53-man roster
Swain secured a spot on the Seahawks' final roster, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Swain -- a sixth-round pick in April -- just turned 22 years old in August but has four years of collegiate football at Florida under his belt. In his final season, he recorded a 38-517-7 line as the second-fiddle to Van Jefferson, who the Rams drafted in the second round. He has minimal fantasy relevance this season, as Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf should handle a bulk of the targets while Phillip Dorsett (foot) and potentially Josh Gordon (suspension) mix in.

Back in action
Swain (groin) returned to practice Friday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Swain sustained a groin injury Monday and finally got back on the field. The rookie sixth-round pick had a solid collegiate career but is on the roster bubble, so he'll need to stay healthy to ensure he snags a roster spot in 2020.

Sustains minor injury
Swain suffered a minor groin injury during Monday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Fortunately for Swain, the injury appears to be more of a tweak of lesser severity than a long-term issue following an early diagnosis. The 2020 sixth-round pick is facing a tough battle for a roster spot heading into the regular season, so the earlier he can get healthy will help his chances to make the squad.
