Jake Bobo Facing 'Serious Knee' Injury, Seahawks Fear Long-Term Absence
Seattle's coach says early returns point to a long-term knee injury for Bobo, a Super Bowl LX contributor who had just 4 PPR points in 2025.
A long-term knee injury ends any lingering deep-league value.
- Coach calls it a 'serious knee,' likely long-term
- Carted to training room after awkward landing
- Ranked #481 overall, #191 at WR in our model
- 2025: 2 rec, 20 yds, 0 TD, 4 PPR pts (11 games)
- Caught SB LX TD: 2 rec, 33 yds in playoffs
Seahawks receiver Jake Bobo went down with what Seattle fears is a long-term knee injury, coach Mike Macdonald told reporters. Bobo landed awkwardly after going up for a sideline catch and needed a cart to reach the training room — never the sight you want when the words 'serious knee' follow. Imaging will confirm the extent, but Macdonald said the early returns already point to an extended absence.
For fantasy purposes, Bobo was never on the radar in standard formats. He appeared in 11 games last year (2025) and logged just 2 catches for 20 yards and no touchdowns — a grand total of 4 PPR points, most of his snaps coming on special teams. Our model has him at #481 overall and #191 among wide receivers, which is to say deep in dart-throw territory even before this news.
Macdonald didn't hide the emotion, saying the team said a prayer for Bobo and that everyone's heart goes out to him. He praised Bobo as a great football player and a great Seahawk, and referenced the team's investment in him this offseason. Translation: this is a gut punch for the locker room, even if it barely registers on your waiver wire.
Where Bobo did leave a mark was the postseason. He played all three of Seattle's playoff games last year, hauling in 2 receptions for 33 yards and a touchdown during the run to a Super Bowl LX title. That's the kind of clutch role that earns a coach's trust — and the reason Macdonald's disappointment is genuine.
The fantasy fallout is minimal because Bobo's usage was already marginal. If there's any ripple, it's that Seattle now has one fewer body in a receiver room, which could nudge special-teams and depth snaps elsewhere. But there's no obvious fantasy beneficiary worth chasing off this alone.
The verdict: drop him without a second thought if he's somehow rostered in a deep dynasty league, and don't bother stashing. A feared long-term knee injury takes an already-invisible fantasy asset off the board entirely. Wish him a speedy recovery, then move on.
