Jeremy Maclin is sitting out the second preseason game for the Eagles. Is it the knee or the hamstring he tweaked a few days ago? Regardless, Maclin was getting the best of Darrelle Revis in a joint practice with the Patriots at the time of the hamstring tweak.
Analysis: Currently, Jeremy Maclin is the 25th to 27th wide out being taken in the 60-80 pick range. He does have low end WR1 potential but his health is the obvious concern. People forget how good Maclin was/is. From 2010-2012 Maclin averaged 67 receptions, 893 receiving yards and 7.3 touchdowns with Vince Young, Kevin Kolb, rookie Nick Foles and Mike Vick at quarterback. Those numbers would have been about 20th best for fantasy wide outs last year.
Percy Harvin is being taken about 10-15 picks before Maclin. Harvin has never caught more than 6 touchdowns in a year… ever. Harvin has played an average of 8.6 games per season over the last three years. Cordarrelle Patterson is being taken 5-15 picks before Maclin. Patterson only amassed 469 yards and 4 touchdowns last year. Patterson also has one of the worst quarterback situations in football. Considering the upside and health issues Jeremy Maclin has a reasonable ADP unlike Harvin and Patterson.
