Jeremy Maclin led the Eagles with four receptions for 73 yards on a team-high nine targets in Week 15 against the Bengals. He caught a 46-yard pass in the first half, which turned out to be the longest reception on either side.
Jeremy Maclin sees fantasy value hindered by Nick Foles’ struggling
Jeremy Maclin had an average night in Week 15. We break down the fantasy implications.

Nick Foles completed less than 50 percent of his passes, hurting Maclin's value throughout Thursday night. Maclin also coughed up a fumble on the second play from scrimmyge.
Fantasy Impact: Last week’s 104-yard performance wasn’t going to be matched against a much tougher Bengals secondary. Foles reverted to his rookie form, and Maclin went back to be a mediocre fantasy play.
He's still worth starting next week against the Redskins. Washington allows nearly 290 yards passing per game.
