Week 6 at Minnesota
Jeremy Maclin cooled off a bit in Week 5, but still finished with eight receptions for 85 yards in an 18-17 loss to Chicago. Maclin is averaging 7.2 receptions and 96.6 yards per game, which makes him a very dependable player in PPR leagues. Standard league players want more touchdowns, however, as Jeremy has journeyed to the end zone just once as a member of the Chiefs.
Minnesota does not represent a banner matchup. The Vikings are giving up 232.3 yards per game, which places them in the top half of NFL defenses. However, of the five touchdown passes the Vikings have allowed, three have been to wide receivers, two to San Diego’s Keenan Allen and one to Detroit’s Calvin Johnson. Maclin’s touchdown total should increase as the season continues, but even if that does not happen in the Twin Cities on Sunday, he will remain a reliable WR2 in all formats thanks to volume.
