Fantasy Football: Five Kansas City Chiefs To Play Vs Steelers
By Ben Almquist
Jeremy Maclin – WR
Projection:
The Kansas City Chiefs star receiver struggled for the second week in a row, giving many Fantasy Football owners concerns. However, I’m predicting that Jeremy Maclin has his bounce back game this week. He was close to having it against the Jets with a pair of deep opportunities at the end of the first half. Unfortunately, both passes went incomplete.
This week should be entirely different. The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the worst teams in the NFL at defending the pass. Jeremy Maclin is light years better than Steelers top corners. On top of that, Pittsburgh knows that they will have to gameplan to stop both Travis Kelce and Spencer Ware. That should leave Maclin with plenty of one on one opportunities.
Jeremy Maclin should be on your roster for fantasy league owners. He has been in a slump these last two weeks, but remains one of the top backup options in the NFL. I am also recommending playing him in your DFS league as he is a good value option.
