Scouting report

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 12, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Buffalo

Kansas City’s recent surge up the standings has actually been bad news for Jeremy Maclin. As the Chiefs have won four in a row, Maclin has caught just nine passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. Granted, he missed one of the wins because of a concussion, but defense and a strong running game are once again setting the tone for Kansas City. Alex Smith’s conservative nature is also a problem.

Buffalo’s pass defense can be vulnerable, as the Bills have conceded 18 touchdown passes. They also allow an average of 253.8 yards per game. Hopefully the Bills will serve as a slump buster for Maclin, who may be overdue for a big game. Despite his struggles, he remains on the WR3 radar.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 11, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at San Diego

Denver’s dominant secondary put Jeremy Maclin in a deep freeze last Sunday. The veteran out of Missouri was held to three receptions for 17 yards. In his defense, game flow was an issue for Jeremy, as the Chiefs raced out to a 29-0 lead thanks to Peyton Manning’s perfect design on a patent for a turnover machine.

Maclin should be in a good spot to make amends for last Sunday, as San Diego’s secondary has given up 16 touchdown passes. Additionally, the Chargers are yielding 249.2 yards per game. Maclin may be a little bit more of a WR3 than WR2 in the wake of what happened in Denver, but regardless of classification, should be a solid starter.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 10, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Denver

Before the bye in Week 9, Jeremy Maclin returned to action in Week 8 after missing a game due to a concussion. Maclin caught three passes for 35 yards and his second touchdown of the season. Averaging six receptions and 81 yards a game, Maclin has given Kansas City the number one receiver they desperately needed.

Unfortunately, Maclin’s numbers this weekend may not resemble those of a top target. Denver’s pass defense struggled last Sunday in Indianapolis, but they remain the NFL’s best. Maclin had four receptions for 57 yards against the Broncos back in Week 2, an ordinary performance by his standards. While Maclin is hard to bench, it will be a challenge for him to top even those modest numbers. He will rebound into WR2 territory in the weeks to come, but in Week 10 he is nothing more than a WR3/flex.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Detroit
Jeremy Maclin missed Week 7 due to a concussion, but he has been practicing and will return on Sunday in London. Although Kansas City’s conservative offense has hampered Maclin’s touchdown potential, he has been a successful free agent signing for the Chiefs with 39 receptions for 531 yards on the season.

Detroit’s defense does not present a formidable obstacle. In seven games, the Lions have given up 12 touchdown passes. They also yield 268.9 yards per game, and Maclin needs to be started in all formats as a dependable WR2.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

***UPDATE***

Maclin is out against the Steelers. Take him out of your lineup.

Jeremy Maclin suffered a concussion during Kansas City’s Week 6 loss to Minnesota and has yet to practice this week as of Thursday. However, ESPN’s Ed Werder has reported Maclin is expected to practice before Sunday and play against the Steelers. Before the injury, Jeremy caught three passes for 48 yards. Maclin must be started if available, but owners need to be making contingency plans just in case.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Chicago

Jeremy Maclin’s slow start is now a distant memory. In his first two games with Kansas City, Maclin caught nine passes for 109 yards and zero touchdowns. Since then, he has 19 receptions for 289 yards and a score. It has not taken him long to build a nice rapport with Alex Smith.

And the rapport may grow even more against a Chicago defense that has allowed 10 touchdown passes. The Chiefs have given up 11, suggesting a high-scoring affair may take place on Sunday at Arrowhead. Maclin projects as a top WR2 who could easily make his way into WR1 territory.
