BALLER MOVE: Target In Rd 4/5 As WR2
CURRENT ADP: Overall #56, WR #25
ANALYSIS: Alex Smith made 18 throws against the Titans and completed 16 of them in week three of preseason. Seven of those completions were to his new WR1, Jeremy Maclin. That led to a 7-65-1 line for Maclin in just 27 snaps. The only incompletion on a target to Maclin was an interception thrown by backup Aaron Murray. I think it’s clear that Maclin is going to be heavily targeted this season and has a great chance to outperform his ADP.
The Chiefs offense as a whole seems ready to shed some of the conservative reputation it has received for the past two years. Maclin (along with Travis Kelce) will be a big part of that. Maclin has two touchdowns so far in the preseason. If you’re one of those people expecting the WR woes in KC to continue, you’ll be missing out on a very solid WR2 in Maclin.
