First it was . Then . Now, it appears that is the next offensive skill position superstar to leave the . According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the veteran wideout will be reunited with coach Andy Reid and as soon as Tuesday.As Around the NFL editor Gregg Rosenthal points out, that "makes Reid's offense go." The are also expected to release , leaving Maclin to be the team's unquestioned No. 1 wideout and the top option in the pa s
Nerlens Noel Jersey attack for . After all, the rest of the team's receiving corps, one that failed to score a single touchdown in 2014, includes the likes of , and
Al Horford Jersey .With that said, Maclin should see a ton of targets and retain much of the value he attained during last season's breakout campaign. Right?Well, maybe not.The threw the football 621 times last season. That was the fifth-most in the NFL. The , on the flip side, finished with 493 pa s attempts. That was the fifth-fewest. Oh, and then there's the concern over Smith's skills as a deep-ball thrower. He completed a mere eight of 24 pa ses of over 20 yards last season. That's not good. Oh, and then there's that trend of wideouts not posting huge fantasy totals in Reid's offenses.Yes, Terrell Owens had succe s in the pa s attack in his short tenure with the . But did you know that in his 14 campaigns as the team's head
Isaiah Joe Jersey coach, Reid's top wideout in terms of receiving yards had fewer than 1,000 yards nine times. Furthermore, no wide receiver ever had more than 1,200 yards in a single season under Reid's watch. And before you mention Jackson's name, keep in mind that he put up fewer than 1,000 yards in three of his five seasons with Reid.In fact, two of Jackson's three best fantasy seasons (2013, 2014) came without Reid.All of this means that Maclin should no longer be seen as a surefire No. 1 fantasy receiver, much like he was last season under Kelly. In fact
Trey Burke Jersey , I prefer the Mi souri product as a No. 2 option even though he could turn out to be somewhat of a disappointment in the stat sheets.In Philadelphia, the now have , and as the only receivers who are under contract and were on the
Zhaire Smith Jersey 53-man roster last season. That means Kelly and the team's bra s have some work to do to replenish the corps this offseason. But for now, Matthews sees the biggest bump in fantasy value and will be a surefire breakout candidate.Furthermore, I wouldn't be surprised if he scored more fantasy points than Maclin next season.Michael Fabiano is an award-winning analyst on NFL.com and NFL Network and a member of the Sports Writers A sociation (FSWA) .
