Jon Baldwin

The Detroit Lions have claimed former Chiefs and 49ers WR Jon Baldwin off waivers.

Fantasy Impact

The Lions don't have much after Megatron and Golden Tate at WR, but Baldwin has long been considered a bust and was unable to find his way onto the field despite playing with an injury-riddled WR corps in San Francisco last year. However, as a former first round pick it could be worth it to keep an eye on him throughout camp but I would assume Baldwin is just a body brought in to generate competition who is unlikely to be on the 53 man roster come week one.

On Sunday, the 49ers cut 3rd year WR Jonathan Baldwin to make room on the roster for L'Damian Washington who was claimed off waivers from Dallas. Baldwin was acquired last year in a trade with the Chiefs for AJ Jenkins.

Fantasy Impact

After being taken in the first round of the 2011 draft, but failing to catch on as a solid starter, Jonathan Baldwin has officially reached BUST status. Baldwin was a long-shot to make the team after the Niner's signed Stevie Johnson and drafted Bruce Ellington in the offseason. Baldwin is young and may catch on with a team looking for a project, but, even in doing so, holds no fantasy value.
