Notes
Kansas City Chiefs WR Jonathan Baldwin appears to be the favorite for the No. 2 wide receiver job at this point but has not emerged as the dominant offseason player like he was last offseason. WRs Donnie Avery, Dexter McCluster and Terrance Copper are also expected to be candidates for the job.
Kansas City Chiefs WR Jonathan Baldwin is off to another strong start in voluntary workouts this spring. He also had a strong start last season in minicamp when the pads were off, but he disappeared once the pads went on. Baldwin was working as a starter Wednesday, April 17, after serving behind WR Donnie Avery during workouts Tuesday, April 16. 'Jon is working hard,' head coach Andy Reid said. 'He is a unique specimen being as big as he is. He can do some things that other people can't do just by size and strength. It's important he puts himself into position to do that.'
Fantasy Impact: This could be a make or break season for Baldwin. He has a chance to earn a lot more playing time.
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said WR Jonathan Baldwin needs time to develop and become a better receiver. 'Baldwin is kind of a tweener,' Reid said at the NFL's annual owners meetings in Phoenix. 'He does have good, long speed, not great long speed. He's somebody that needs to continue to develop. That's a position that you need time to develop in. We'll see how he does.'
Fantasy Impact: Sounds like he isn't in the immediate plans for the Chiefs but could work his way into the mix at some point.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel appeared to express frustration with the lack of progress being made by WR Jonathan Baldwin. 'I hope to see him be able to separate when it's needed, be able to execute the gameplan the way we need it executed,' Crennel said Monday, Dec. 17. 'If he can do that, I think we'll see more production.'

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel said the team expects more out of WR Jonathan Baldwin. Baldwin has just 15 catches for 213 yards after he excelled in the preseason while WR Dwayne Bowe was in the middle of a holdout. 'The thing that we have to do is, we have to get Jon more involved than we've had him involved and give him an opportunity to be a playmaker for us. That's one of the things we're going to try to work on,' Crennel said.
