Sit ‘Em
Jeremy Maclin has been a stud for most of the year considering where he was being drafted in most drafts. He has over-achieved in many games and has made himself into a must-start WR for the most part.
If so, why sit him?
The Seattle Seahawks. That’s why. Richard Sherman and company will be targeting Maclin since he is the most talented receiver that the Eagles have, so he may have a rough week this week.
I also think Maclin’s value has taken a slight hit since Mark Sanchez has taken over for Nick Foles because of injury. Sanchez is playing well for the Eagles, but seems to have found a favorite target in rookie WR Jordan Matthews, and Maclin’s targets per game have dropped a bit.
The matchup is the main concern here for Maclin owners, but I definitely think that he should be on the bench in most leagues for teams that have other respectable options. Don’t sit him for Miles Austin, but if you have Kenny Stills, Odell Beckham Jr., etc. on your bench, play those guys over Maclin.
Consider him a risky #2 WR and a decent flex play this week.
