</td></tr><tr><td class="bodyCopy">DeSean Jackson managed just two red-zone catches in all of 2011.</td></tr><tr><td>

</td></tr><tr><td class="vaLink">And it wasn't out of the ordinary. D-Jax had four red-zone catches in 2010, with just one red-zone score, and three and two, respectively, in 2009. Jackson can score from anywhere on the field, but Jeremy Maclin's superior red-zone chops make him a better fantasy bet than Jackson. Maclin will score more TDs.

<table border="0" cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="bodyCopy">Jeremy Maclin has been diagnosed with a right hip flexor, and is "pretty sore."</td></tr><tr><td>

</td></tr><tr><td class="vaLink">The Eagles are going to see how Maclin "feels the next few days," but his status is apparently in doubt for Week 2. Maclin has a history of being "pretty sore" going back to his days at Mizzou, but also has a history of playing through injury. It's not time to panic if you're an owner, but it would be prudent to devise a contingency plan. We'll know more about Maclin's status by Wednesday.

Coach Andy Reid called both "game-time decisions," although he said he expects both Jackson and Maclin to play on Sunday. The Ravens and Eagles square off in a 1PM ET game, and we fully expect to have a clearer read on both players' health and availability by then. Stay tuned for updates. For now, we's still be looking elsewhere for Week 2 fantasy receiver starts.

<table width="100%" align="center"><tbody><tr vAlign="top"><td class="vaLabel" colSpan="3">Jeremy Maclin - WR - PHI - Sep. 16 - 8:39 a.m. ET </td></tr><tr><td vAlign="top" colSpan="3">Jeremy Maclin (questionable, hip) and DeSean Jackson (questionable, hamstring) are both expected to play in Week 2 against the Ravens.
Both players will go through a morning workout, but both receivers are expected to suit up. The Eagles had a chance to bring up a receiver from the practice squad but opted against it, so it's a good sign for their outlook. Maclin stated on Thursday that "nothing" would keep him out for Week 2, while Jackson was limited all week after tweaking the hamstring in Wednesday's practice. Neither are close to a WR1 against a stout Baltimore defense on Sunday, especially at less than 100 percent.
