Fantasy Upside
Doug Baldwin has put up monster numbers the past two seasons averaging almost 1,110 receiving yards, 86 receptions, and 10 touchdowns. The numbers might have been even better if QB Russell Wilson didn't struggle with injuries last season. Baldwin has put up consistent WR1 numbers after being mediocre for his first four seasons. He has also shown durability, having not missed a game since 2012. There is no doubt he is Wilson's favorite target and that is not likely to change.
Fantasy Downside
A glaring stat from last season was Baldwin's drop from 14 touchdown receptions to 7. The 14 in 2015 might have been an anomaly as he had never scored more than 5 before that season. Still, the cut in half was disappointing.
2017 Bottom Line
With Wilson healthy, Baldwin's numbers should continue to be very good and he could end up having career-highs in 2017. His ADP is 26 and he ranks as the WR10 fantasy receiver, so choosing him in the early-second round will still give you value. Baldwin will be a consistent WR1 all season long.
