And they signed Peters today. Foles is a happy man.

Maclin favorite for #2 duties is a big guess at this point. Cooper signing a long term deal & Maclin signing a 1 yr deal, with a relatively new QB for Maclin, would make me believe Cooper & Maclin will be #2a/2b with Cooper getting more Red zone looks. Give me Cooper over Maclin in 2014.

Maclin and Foles had good chemistry in 2012 and that offense was awful. Think Mac could blow up in this offense.

Hell no. Well, maybe the RZ looks part if both are healthy Id be shocked if Cooper ended up with more catches or yards or TDs. Maclin is far more talented and has the athleticism to maximize his production in that offense.

Local insiders say that Maclin is penciled in for the slot position to replace Avant. Sorry no link to those reports but apparently Maclin played a good bit of that position at Mizzou. His move to the slot certainly seems to be a fit on multiple levels.

Talent, 2 bad knees and no chemistry. As a homer I'd love to see Mac kill it, but Im not as confident in his talent out waying his health issues & Coopers rapport with Foles. If Maclin recovers from knee surgery & if he stays healthy are 2 big ifs that make this situation much murkier than talent & athleticism.

Maclin had some pretty big games with Foles at QB in 2012. Here goes Maclin's numbers in all the games Foles started.
Was 12/23: 8/166/1 td
Cin 12/13: 4/70/0 td
TB 12/9: 9/104/1 td
Dal 12/2: 3/38/0 td
Car 11/26: 5/55/0 td
Was 11/18: no catches
Dal 11/11: 8/93/1 td

Would he even play in the slot or would they rotate Cooper/Maclin at the position opposite D-Jax and leave Avant in the slot? I am not familiar with the personnel packages that Kell's offense dictates...anyone know how the four WRs would/should be used?

Don't think the Jets are the right spot either, they are just the one most likely to break the bank for him. The Colts, Panthers and Pats all look like better options.

I don't think the Jets are as bad as it seems. A bit of a chicken and the egg argument in that it's not been a productive fantasy spot for WR's but than than they don't have very good WR's either.
But as an example take a look at Kerley's numbers on a per target basis the last two years and it's actually fairly impressive. Even Holmes started off 2012 strong before getting hurt,granted it was due to heavy usage but I'd expect any semi-big ticket WR they sign to be heavily used. Holmes sucked for the most part last year but that's because he was not the player he was pre-injury and may never be again.
I think if Maclin ended up in on the Jets, which I think is a strong chance if he the Eagles don't lock him up, he'll be a heavily targeted player on a weekly basis and produce consistent numbers. His challenge would be holding up physically to the attention and targets he would get as the undisputed #1WR on the team.

Maclin's back with Philly for one year.

They wanted a longer term, but Maclin wanted the one year deal. So I guess you weren't completely wrong.

He didn't want a multi year deal. He wants to show he's healthy and get huge deal next year. It's a gamble on his part.
So they're "highly run biased" and he'll struggle for week to week targets but kelly's offense has a shot to be even more explosive than last year

What's confusing about it?So they're "highly run biased" and he'll struggle for week to week targets but kelly's offense has a shot to be even more explosive than last year
Lots of weapons, so individually, one person (unless named McCoy) is unlikely to be putting up 100/1 every week.

Maclin is not going to be much of a factor. DJax, Ertz, Celek, Cooper, McCoy lots of passing targets. His stats have never really been impressive when he was the obvious #2 in all reality. Now on a run first team with more options in the passing game he looks to be even less impressive. While he has had some good seasons with good TD output, he is just a decent WR3/4 in fantasy. I really wish he would have signed somewhere else for fantasy purposes, but he is what he is with the Eagles.
Awful Waffle
Footballguy
Completely disagree. People forget that he had good chemistry with Nick Foles in 2012 AND is more talented than Riley Cooper. Cooper had a breakout year because the Eagles had nothing else at WR. I think the targets will go Jackson -> Maclin -> Ertz -> Cooper -> Celek.
loose circuits
Footballguy
very possible
I think what might be getting lost in this debate between Maclin or Cooper as #2 - is what is going to happen to DeSean Jackson?
DeSean Jackson has a 12.5 mil cap number in 2014. With the depth all signed - could / should the Eagles ask him to take a pay cut? Is DeSean worth 12.5 mil? If they were cut cut him outright - it would be a 6 mil cap hit but a 6.5 million in savings.
If Macklin proves to be healthy in 2014 and signs a long term extension before the season is over - I would say DeSean is gone in 2015 for sure.

Foles shown that he can spread the ball around to the open man. They will all get 3-5 receptions a game.

The one thing the Eagles know not to do is to ask Desean to take a pay cut. They have already seen how he plays when he thinks he is being disrespected, and they don't need that on the current team. Their options are to cut him or keep him, and after last season they will keep him. I think you are right that he is most likely gone in 2015.jesseasi said:

With this WR class, it wouldn't surprise me to see them take a deep threat the first two days who can take over for DeSean in the future.
