Jeremy Maclin Fantasy News

Philadelphia Eagles - [Full Article]

A year ago, Eagles WR Jeremy Maclin was battling a mystery illness, feared at times to be Lymphoma, that sapped him of his energy, his weight and his ability to hold down food. Maclin was in such rough condition that, combined with the odd uncertainty of what ailed him, his career, and life, was at stake.

Fast forward 12 months and Maclin is rid of the (still undiagnosed) mystery disease completely, with another productive season in the rearview mirror.

Maclin has high expectations of himself and his teammates in 2012. Unburdened by everything that befell him last year, Maclin has been able to spend his entire offseason in Philadelphia, working diligently on improving his body and doing his part to improve the Eagles offense with his teammates.

When Maclin arrived at Lehigh for training camp last summer, he was noticeably skinny, his weight as low as 180 pounds at times, he said. Now, he's up to a strong 205, seven pounds more than his playing weight last season. In reality, that Maclin was able to have such a productive season without having much of an offseason at all, let alone preseason action, was startling.

Fantasy Impact:

Maclin ranked #28 in fantasy points per game (standard) and is currently the #28 WR off the board in fantasy drafts, going in the 6th round. Considering he's far more healthy at this point than he was last year, he looks like a great value pick in the 5th or 6th round. He's a better all around WR than DeSean Jackson, who is going almost a round earlier.

Eagles sign DeSean Jackson to five-year deal worth $51M

Eagles gave DeSean Jackson a five-year, $51-million deal.

Fantasy Impact:

Given the way Jackson's 2011 season went, this is surprising, though the Eagles did imply they wanted to keep him after they applied their franchise tag. The signing is good news for Michael Vick but bad news for Jeremy Maclin, who deserves more targets than he's been getting.

Philadelphia Inquirer/Philadelphia Daily News - [Full Article]

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (hamstring) is questionable after playing only a half last week in Miami, but said he feels far better this week.

"It's a complete difference. I thought I felt pretty good last week, but now I can actually see it and see it on film," he said. "I'm ready to go."

Fantasy Impact:

With a tough matchup against the Jets ahead of him and the fact he's still trying to work his way back, Maclin is a risky start. If you are deep at receiver, you can probably sit him, but if he's one of your best guys and you don't have a lot of depth at the position, you can roll the dice.

Eagles WR Maclin had hammy tighten
Monday, December 12, 2011, 5:18pm

csnphilly.com - [Full Article]

Receiver Jeremy Maclin returned after missing three games with hamstring and shoulder injuries and had four catches for 13 yards; he didn’t play most of the second half.

“Jeremy Maclin did as much as he could in his hamstring,” head coach Andy Reid said.

“His leg tightened up a little bit. I don’t think he pulled it, but it tightened up.”

Fantasy Impact:

A disappointment for owners who hoped Maclin could step back in with the return of Michael Vick. Maclin will be a question mark next week, but also has a tough matchup against the Jets.

WR Jeremy Maclin downgraded to questionable

Adam Schefter on Twitter - [Full Article]

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (hamstring) has been downgraded from probable to questionable for Sunday's game at Miami.

Fantasy Impact:

Maclin was perceived by some as an injury risk heading into this week, and now he's even riskier. The Eagles play in an early game on Sunday, so we'll know his status before lineups need to be set, but for now plan on having an alternative ready to go.
