Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson were not a factor on Sunday against the Washington Redskins. Maclin didn't have a catch in the 31-6 loss and Jackson had two grabs for a total of five yards. Jackson's five yards are his fewest in a game since Oct. 11, 2009, according to Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com. The last time Maclin was held without a catch was his first NFL game in 2009.
Jeremy Maclin, DeSean Jackson combine for horrible fantasy day in Week 11
Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson combined for just two catches and five yards in Sunday’s loss to the Washington Redskins. We break down the fantasy implications.
Brad Mills-US PRESSWIRE
Rookie quarterback Nick Foles targeted Maclin just three times against the Redskins, while Jackson got eight targets. The Eagles face the Carolina Panthers in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact: This isn’t close to what fantasy owners were looking for from Jackson, Maclin or Foles. Philadelphia’s offense figured to take a step back with Foles starting but Maclin and Jackson have always had chances to make plays.
Jackson and Maclin will likely be low-end No. 2/3 wide receivers for Week 12 against Carolina but they should develop a better chemistry with Foles as the season goes along.
