Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin will play Week 9 for the Kansas City Chiefs against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Maclin will likely be a solid security blanket at receiver for Nick Foles, who is set to start in place of Alex Smith. Going up against the up and coming Jaguars’ defense with a formidable pass rush, Foles will look to get the ball out of his hands quickly and rely on the run game and quick passes to his receivers.

Fantasy Projections: With Maclin starting Week 9 for the Kansas City Chiefs, he will likely see his primary role as a security blanket for Foles against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fantasy owners should expect Maclin to see some opportunities to make big plays in the passing game. Maclin should be a solid WR2 or flex option in season-long leagues. They should keep in mind that he will be catching passes from his backup quarterback which will always lead to questions and concerns for receivers.
