| |  | Kansas City Chiefs
|
OutlookThe Chiefs played better down the stretch with Romeo Crennell as their head coach. He is head coach from day one this season, which is a positive for the team. Two talented backs and a decent defense will win some games for the Chiefs but they won't challenge for a playoff spot just yet. The Chiefs seem more like a 7-9 team than anything. Mediocre to poor quarterback play will doom this team in the end. |
|
Jonathan Baldwin, WR. Baldwin didn't do much his rookie season. He struggled with the playbook some and battled some injury issues. He remains a big part of the Chiefs' offensive plans, though. He'll get a chance to start this season. Baldwin is a much more explosive player than Steve Breaston, which helps his chances to start. Don't overlook him after a poor rookie showing. The talent is there for Baldwin to have some big games. |
|
Peyton Hillis, RB. Hillis moves to a backup role with his new team. He'll get his chances in a run-heavy scheme but Jamaal Charles is the back to own in Kansas City. Hillis won't produce near his levels of the past few seasons on his role. He might get a few more catches than last year but expect his rushing totals to be down. Hillis is far from exciting for fantasy teams in 2012. |
