"2) Doug Baldwin, Seattle Seahawks: Embarking on his sixth NFL season, Baldwin has already earned his third professional contract with a four-year, $46 million deal that recognizes his status as a team leader and unheralded star. Responsible for the NFL's top passer rating when targeted (139.9) in 2015, Baldwin was the most efficient receiver in the league last season. Of the 87 receivers to play at least 25 percent of their teams' snaps and accrue an average depth of target beyond 10 yards, per Pro Football Focus, Baldwin's completion rate of 79 percent was No. 1.
A crafty route runner without fear over the middle, Baldwin has emerged as Russell Wilson's go-to target in high-leverage situations. While he plays nearly 90 percent of his snaps in the slot, he isn't limited to shallow routes. In fact, only Sammy Watkins scored more touchdowns on deep passes (20 or more yards in the air) in 2015 (Watkins had eight to Baldwin's five). Slot receivers don't just come in all shapes and sizes these days, they also have varying pedigrees. Baldwin went undrafted out of Stanford, while Fitzgerald was selected at No. 3 overall in the 2004 NFL Draft."
