Alex Smith (Quarterback): Smith will have no practical value in 8 or 10 man leagues but should find some suitors in deeper leagues. With Jeremy Maclin on board the possibility for wide receiver touchdowns is a very big possibility.

Jeremy Maclin (Wide Receiver): Maclin has to be the most attractive name on this list and for good reason he is a solid playmaker. This offense however is infamous for not giving their wide receivers touchdowns and since Maclin is the first quality wide receiver they have had it is hard to tell what exactly his production will be. Maclin is going in the middle rounds so considering what he did in Philadelphia last year his ADP is not that bad. It will be hard to draft him with the certainty that he will be a consistent scorer.

Albert Wilson, Chris Conley (Wide Receivers): Maclin should dominate the WR targets however these two guys are likely to be the second wide receiver in the offense. Conley is a rookie who had a fantastic combine and who I thought would go to a speedy Saints like offense. Wilson is currently hitting his second year in the league and did not score a touchdown all season. Both guys should be available late in fantasy drafts.

Travis Kelce (Tight End): Kelce normally gets the most targets in the offense however it is likely that he will lose some work to Maclin. Kelce is one of the top tight ends you can draft and should put up a solid amount of points for that position.

Jamaal Charles (Running Back): Charles is a top 3 back hands down. He may get some more work in the passing game this season but will likely be spelled by several backups as the season goes on.

Knile Davis (Running Back): Davis is strictly a handcuff, he will have some value in deeper leagues however it is hard to say if he will be consistent.
