Moving to the slot receiver position has helped recharge Jeremy Maclin’s ability to score. However, he is far from playing lights out. Through two games Maclin has six receptions for 87 yards despite scoring a touchdown in both of the Baltimore Ravens first two games.
Fantasy football start/sit Week 3: What to do with Jeremy Maclin
Maclin is scoring in the slot, but will he find the end zone in London? We look at the fantasy implications.

This week the Ravens are playing across the pond in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars corners are playing lights out this season. They have allowed only 321 passing yards and two touchdowns through two games, and no individual receiver has more than 61 yards against the Jaguars secondary.
Fantasy impact: Maclin’s almost fantasy irrelevant if he does not score. He does not get a lot of looks from QB Joe Flacco, and the Ravens are going to have to rely on the run against Jacksonville’s shutdown corners. Playing in the slot gives him a small chance to see some action, but it is not big enough to guarantee anything in fantasy.
