The Facts:
Baldwin established a reputation for making the near-impossible catch last year with an around-the-defender grab of a pass against the Broncos. He solidified it at the Chiefs' practice on Tuesday, when he made a one-handed diving grab of a Matt Cassel pass for a touchdown over CB Stanford Routt.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Baldwin's ability to go up and get a pass has prompted Cassel and other Chiefs QBs to attempt throws to Baldwin in one-on-one coverage that they might not make to other receivers. By now, they're aware the 6-4, 230-pound Baldwin has a distinct size advantage over most cornerbacks and will win most jump-ball opportunities. "He's a guy that likes to go up and compete," Cassel said, "and there's not a lot of corners in the league that can go up vertically with him. ..." After plays like the one in practice Tuesday suggest the Chiefs will try harder to find ways to get Baldwin matched up in single coverage.
