The Baltimore Ravens added Jeremy Maclin this offseason hoping he could provide an upgrade to the receiving corps, but they may have to go back to playing without him after the veteran was placed in the concussion protocol during Sunday morning's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
This will leave Joe Flacco with several familiar options on the roster, although it will be difficult to expect huge fantasy football contributions from any of them.
Mike Wallace is coming off a strong year in 2016 where he topped 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since 2011. However, he remains an inconsistent option who can't be trusted to put up big numbers from week to week.
In fact, he didn't have a single touchdown in the second half of last season and failed to top 70 receiving yards in a single game.
The 31-year-old came into Sunday with just two receptions for 15 yards this year and, though he could potentially come through with a long touchdown or two, he could just as easily produce a dud for your fantasy lineup.
The same could be said about Breshad Perriman, who has shown flashes of solid play but is yet to give any real indication he could be a consistent threat in the NFL.
While he could be useful as a high-upside addition to a fantasy roster, he shouldn't be inserted into any lineup until he proves he can rack up yards and touchdowns.
In an offense that doesn't produce a lot of points, the replacement options for Maclin simply aren't too exciting at the moment.
