Who should I start?
Also have Steve Johnson sitting on the bench.

    It depends on whether it's a PPR or standard scoring league. In standard I like Wallace a little better than Johnson because Wallace is their big yardage receiver. He didn't get the chance to do much last night, but that was a product of the San Fran defense. Detroit showed against San Diego that they can't stop the pass, so I would look to Wallace to get more quality chances. In PPR, I give Johnson the edge over Wallace because Johnson saw a lot of targets last week, and probably will again this week, especially as Cincy puts top coverage on Allen so he doesn't end up with another record number of receptions. I leave Maclin out on both because I expect Johnson to get more targets (PPR) and Wallace to get more yards and chances to score TDs (standard). Maclin is up against a Denver D that defended the pass very well last week, and KC has shown a willingness to continue to get its passing TDs from everyone but its WRs.

    Thanks, Danny. Appreciate the thorough response. I am in a standard league and I think the match ups favor Johnson and Wallace over Maclin. However, it's hard to ignore Maclin's big play ability (even if that's not the way Alex Smith players). It was nice to see Wallace get more targets over Charles Johnson as coming into the game everyone expected him to be Minn's WR1.

    No problem. I agree on Maclin, and getting him going would certainly help KC against Denver tomorrow. I just have a little more faith in Wallace to have success here, mostly based on his matchup. Good luck!
