Start Jeremy Maclin as a Favorite

Kansas City Chiefs receiver Jeremy Maclin has performed slightly better in his career when the Chiefs have been favored. Since joining them in 2015, he has averaged 13.33 points per game in half-points per reception (PPR) formats when the Chiefs were favored. When the Chiefs were underdogs, his production dropped to an average of 11.67 half-PPR points per game.

Currently, the spread between the Chiefs and the Oakland Raiders has Kansas City as a -1.5-point favorite.

Another favorable trend is the success of Andy Reid after a bye week. In his career, he is 15-2 in games following a bye. The Chiefs have a modest implied total of 24 points, but several Raiders' games have turned into shootouts. The over in Raiders' games has hit 4 out of 5 times this season.

Maclin has a reasonable cost of $6,900 on FanDuel -- the 21st-highest among all wideouts -- making him enticing in both cash games and tournaments.
