Coach Andy Reid expects WRs Jeremy Maclin (hip pointer) and DeSean Jackson (hamstring) to play versus the Ravens on Sunday.
"I think we'll be OK there," said Reid. "They're both doing a lot better." Both receivers missed practice on Thursday, so they're not out of the woods just yet. Likely to be at less than peak strength in a tough matchup, Maclin is ranked 33rd and Jackson 30th among fantasy receivers. Check back by Sunday morning to assure that both are in the starting lineup.
tough call. i also have both receivers, but i'm sitting britt til i can see him back in action. my dilemma was between maclin and aj green who will be shadowed by haden all day. i'm leaving maclin on the bench only because he's hurt. but i think you'll be fine with him having rested all week.
Maclin is a shady play even at 100% with Vick's degradation and the Ravens' strong pass rush and coverage. Add onto that that the Ravens are also a very physical defense and he will be playing coming off an injury even if he does start...very bad play IMO. I wouldn't go two TE ever myself so Britt looks like your answer (if those really are the ONLY options left to you), even with limited snaps he's a safer bet if you ask me against the SD secondary.
agree. vick's gonna get his ass handed to him, and maclin's always banged up. still, i'd be nervous about britt having not even officially practiced in almost exactly a year. he has been practicing in pads with former players, which is why he's on my team. but this week may be too soon. but hey, with maclin so risky, and britt being a monster physically, it's worth a shot.

Hmm so should I leave Maclin in? Or go with Britt or even go twin TE and put Chandler in?

yeah twin te is only good in ppr if you're desperate or happen to have two fantastic te matchups.
