KC WR Jeremy Maclin - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Jeremy Maclin looked great in 2015, playing in his first season with the Chiefs. The veteran wideout finished with over 1,000 yards and caught eight touchdowns on a team that didn’t have a single receiver cross the goal line the season prior.

The best news is Maclin finished the season on a strong note, catching six of his eight touchdowns in the final six games of the season. He’s the best receiver on the team, so he’ll continue to see the majority of the targets from quarterback Alex Smith.

Fantasy Downside
The downside for Maclin is the Chiefs gaining back Jamaal Charles. Maclin still had dominant games with Charles playing last season, but the receiver’s touchdowns didn’t really get going until the running back was placed on injured reserve.

Maclin is also in a system that focuses more on running the football. With Kansas City’s strong defense, the team will look more often to rely on their solid stable of backs in games to run out the clock rather than throw the ball several times.

Bottom Line
Maclin is a talented player and the No. 1 receiving option on a team that relies on running the ball. If he were in a different offense, he’d likely be ranked higher, but that doesn’t mean he’s a bad choice.

He’s unlikely to give you monster performances (only three games over 100 yards last season), but he’s consistent (eight games with 5-plus catches and 50-plus yards) and has some added value in PPR formats.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 18, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 18 at Houston

After catching three passes for 54 yards and a touchdown in Kansas City’s Week 17 win over Oakland, Jeremy Maclin finished his first season back home in Missouri with 87 receptions for 1,088 yards and eight touchdowns. He was one of the best free agent acquisitions in recent memory and paid dividends for fantasy owners who did not have to pay an exorbitant price for him on draft day.

Maclin did not light it up when Kansas City played Houston on opening day, however, catching five passes for 52 yards and no touchdowns. And only Denver and Seattle allowed fewer passing yards per game than the Texans during the regular season. It will definitely be a challenge for Jeremy on Saturday, but given the targets he normally gets and his overall productivity, he can be started with confidence.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 17, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs Oakland

In what could be described as Six Degrees of Philadelphia Separation, Jeremy Maclin, signed by Kansas City in arguably the best free agent move of the offseason, played a major role in helping former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid clinch his second trip to the playoffs as leader of the Chiefs last weekend by catching five passes for 49 yards and a touchdown.

Meanwhile, Chip Kelly, who opted not to bring Maclin back to the City of Brotherly Love because he thought he could plug someone else into his overrated system, was fired by the Eagles on Tuesday. Hanging onto Maclin probably would have helped Chip win a weak NFC East and keep his job.

Despite missing a game earlier this season, Maclin heads into the season finale with 84 receptions for 1,034 yards and seven touchdowns. Two of those touchdowns came in Week 13 against the Raiders. With Kansas City needing a win to have any chance of taking home the AFC West crown, Maclin is a WR1.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 16, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Cleveland

Since Thanksgiving, fantasy general managers have been thankful to have Jeremy Maclin on their roster. Maclin has racked up plenty of yardage and scored four touchdowns during that span, including one last Sunday in Baltimore. He finished with seven receptions for 50 yards as the Chiefs easily defeated the Ravens 34-14.

And Maclin should have no trouble enjoying another round of success on Sunday. The Browns have given up 29 touchdown passes and also allow 252.9 passing yards per game. Maclin absolutely must be started if you are playing in a Super Bowl this week. He is also a good daily league option.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 15, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Baltimore

A soggy day in Kansas City last Sunday helped cool off Jeremy Maclin, who had scored three touchdowns during Weeks 12 and 13. Maclin caught six passes for 68 yards.

Game flow concerns with Maclin are quite real this week, but owners need to shake off fears of Kansas City racking up a big lead and keep Jeremy in the lineup. The Ravens have conceded a whopping 27 touchdown passes and allow just under 250 yards per game. There ought to be plenty of chances for Maclin, who almost always leads the Chiefs in targets. You can count on him as a WR2 who could easily produce WR1 numbers.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 14, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs San Diego

After breaking out of a slump against Buffalo in Week 12, Jeremy Maclin stayed hot in a crucial Week 13 win over Oakland, catching nine passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns. Maclin was targeted 10 times by Alex Smith. No other Kansas City receiver was targeted more than three times, underscoring Maclin’s importance to the offense.

The odds of Maclin being successful again this week are good, but he struggled earlier this year against San Diego, catching just three passes for 29 yards. Game flow hurt Jeremy in that one, as the Chiefs had no problem running the ball on the Chargers and won 33-3. It would not be a surprise if that problem popped up once again. Nevertheless, the potential rewards with Maclin outweigh the risks and you can count on him as a WR2 with the upside for more.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 13, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Oakland

It is safe to say Jeremy Maclin is no longer in the midst of a slump. Maclin was a major reason why Kansas City beat Buffalo 30-22 on Sunday, as Jeremy hauled in nine passes for 160 yards and a touchdown. Maclin’s upside is often curtailed by the conservative Chiefs offense, but when head coach Andy Reid opens up the offense, he is capable of big performances.

And it would make sense for Reid to keep things open out in Oakland, as the Raiders have one of the poorest pass defenses in the NFL. Given the matchup, Maclin may not need a lot of targets to produce a nice day. He can be plugged into lineups as a WR2.
