Scouting report

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 8, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Indianapolis
At some point, fantasy owners have to start worrying about Jeremy Maclin. He's clearly not a WR1 play as some might have projected heading into the season. He's caught just one touchdown all season, and has only surpassed 50 yards in one game out of his last four outings.

He'll face a Colts defense this week that has surprisingly been tough against receivers, despite being poor against the pass overall. Expect another 4-5 catch effort for 60-80 yards from Maclin this week.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 7, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. New Orleans
Jeremy Maclin is averaging less than 60 yards per game this season, and hasn't caught a touchdown pass since Week 1. Overall he hasn't been a great option for owners this season, but that could change in Week 7.

Maclin and the Chiefs will face the Saints, a team notorious for being involved in offensive shootouts. Maclin is the top receiving threat for K.C., so if there is a shootout, the receiver will end up benefiting the most.

We view Maclin as a solid WR2 play this week.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 6, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Oakland
Jeremy Maclin has been fairly consistent this season with his production. He had a season-high of 78 yards in Week 4, however, so that should tell you he's not exactly an elite option.

With a favorable matchup against the Raiders this week, it's possible Maclin has a big game. We're expecting Spencer Ware and Jamaal Charles to manage the game on the ground, however.

Maclin should continue to have similar production, with a slightly better chance at finding the end zone this week. He only has one score on the season.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 4, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Pittsburgh
Jeremy Maclin was consistent through the first two weeks, but didn't perform well against the Jets in Week 3, catching four-of-seven targets for 35 yards. The seven targets tied for a team-high, which is encouraging.

The thing with Maclin will be the same throughout the season. He's the best receiver on the Chiefs, but his stats will suffer due to the offense. He should improve this week in a favorable matchup against the Steelers, but his ceiling is always limited.

Maclin should be viewed as a WR2 or WR3 option this week.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 3, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. New York Jets
Jeremy Maclin has had consistent production through the first two games, racking up 60+ yards in each matchup. He had plenty of chances last week to have a higher yardage total as he finished with 15 targets, but only came away with six receptions as the Texans' secondary played tough defense.

Maclin will get an easier matchup this week as the Jets have allowed the second-most fantasy points to wideouts through the first two games. Revis Island has been a nice vacation spot for receivers this year instead of the 1-Star reviews from previous visitors.

Maclin's ceiling is capped due to the Chiefs' offense, but we still expect him to put up WR2 numbers this week.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Houston
Jeremy Maclin came away with five receptions for 63 yards on seven targets last week, and had the only touchdown from a receiver in the game. As expected, Maclin is only receiver to really consider in Kansas City.

This week, Maclin draws a tough challenge against a good Texans defense. He should be targeted a lot, but could struggle getting open. Also, we expect the Chiefs to be more run-oriented in Week 2 than in Week 1.

Maclin is a good receiver, but in a tough matchup he should be viewed as a WR2 this week.

KC WR Jeremy Maclin - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. San Diego
Jeremy Maclin is the only Chiefs receiver to consider playing in Week 1. The Chargers are a favorable matchup for Kansas City, but this is a run-first team. With their stout defense, we expect the Chiefs to manage this game, which limits the passing attack.

That's not to say Maclin won't get his (because he will), but he won't be an elite option. Instead, he'll be a reliable WR2 play.
