Following up on a previous item. ... As ESPN.com's Terry Blount suggested on Friday, if you haven't been starting receiver Doug Baldwin, do it now.

With the move to jettison Percy Harvin, the Seahawks got back to basics last week and did what they do best: throwing to Baldwin on slants and crossing routes.

And if you want to take a flier in a deeper league, rookie Paul Richardson is about to become a much larger part of the offense.

According to NFL.com's Chris Wesseling, it's no coincidence that the second-round draft pick's snap percentage skyrocketed from under 15 percent to 60 percent in the first game after the Harvin trade.

Richardson is now locked in as the No. 3 receiver behind Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse.

According to Blount, "It's only a matter of time until he beats someone deep."

One last note here. ... Tight end Luke Willson will return to action this week after sitting out last Sunday with an injured groin; he's listed as probable.
