Mark Sanchez, Jeremy Maclin, Jordan Matthews' Post-Week 11 Fantasy Reaction

Tim KeeneyNov 16, 2014

For as good as Mark Sanchez looked in his first start under Chip Kelly last week, he was the complete opposite against the Green Bay Packers.  

The polarizing QB was a turnover machine. Although, some garbage-time production during the 53-20 loss not only gave him a respectable fantasy day, but it also helped Jeremy Maclin and Jordan Matthews to a couple of huge performances:

As Pro Football Focus' Pete Damilatis joked, it marks a really quick 180-degree turn for Sanchez, who shredded the Carolina Panthers a week ago.

But that's all it is. A narrative. Road games at Lambeau in November are never going to be easy, and while Sanchez deserves blame, nothing has changed since a week ago in terms of his fantasy outlook. He's still a good fit for the explosive, high-tempo offense, and that's the reason for his value.

As Rotoworld's Adam Levitan pointed out, there's hope for a turnaround with the Tennessee Titanson a short weekup next:

Sanchez comes with risk, no doubt. Sunday's performance made that painfully obvious. But don't drop him. He's an excellent QB1 streamer option, and remaining matchups against the Titans, Dallas Cowboys (twice) and Washington Redskins are all favorable.

As for his receivers, it's clear both can thrive at the same time. In Sanchez's two starts, they have combined for 35 targets, 24 receptions, 376 yards and four touchdowns. Both are must-start options in all formats going forward.
