Doug Baldwin, Wes Welker and Wide Receiver Agility Scores
by Ray Marzarella, March 10, 2016No one could’ve predicted Doug Baldwin’s breakout before the 2015 NFL season started. But once the perfect storm of opportunity hit and Seattle became a predominantly passing team, Baldwin was able to use his elite agility to score touchdowns from all areas of the field en route to his first Top 10 fantasy wide receiver campaign.
When a wide receiver with great-to-elite agility becomes the focal point of a high-volume NFL passing offense led by a good-to-great quarterback, no matter the receiver’s size, fantasy owners should do everything in their power to acquire that player in all formats. As players like Doug Baldwin and Wes Welker have shown us, sometimes all you need to be a fantasy football difference-maker is plus agility, a pass-happy offense, an above-average quarterback and a chance.
