Is there a player who commands less respect in football circles than this will keep Baldwin in the good graces of check the 1:55 mark for visual confirmation. It's fair to consider Baldwin a 50/50 proposition to get you a score as long as he continues soaking up most of Rice's targets.

The matchups certainly won't be a hindrance to Baldwin's WR3 potential in the next two games either. According to numberFire's defensive passing NEP data, the Seahawks' next two opponents, Atlanta and Minnesota, are the two worst teams against the pass in the NFL when you adjust for quality of opponent. If you were thinking of taking the plunge on Baldwin, now would definitely be the time.

After those two terrific matchups, the Seahawks head into the bye, at which point all bets are off.

I suspect we'll see Percy Harvin (one of the premier slot receivers in the game) debut in Week 13. If Harvin is healthy, it's tough to imagine Baldwin retaining WR3 value, as he's currently running 70% of his routes from the slot.

You could argue that Baldwin is listed as Rice's backup at the "Z" receiver position on Seattle's depth chart, so he won't completely disappear when Harvin returns, but the third option in a low-yield passing game is not someone you want starting on your fantasy team.

Don't let that dissuade you from reaping the short-term benefits though. Odds are if you're thin enough at wide receiver to kick the tires on Baldwin, it's only as a temporary stopgap anyway. Over the next two weeks, you won't find many widely unowned wideouts in better position for production than Baldwin. If it makes you feel better, close your eyes and pretend his name is something cool like Kentavious Caldwell Baldwin.
