I'd go with:

Maclin - if he keeps practicing, I'd start him.
Torrey Smith - 2nd choice, a bit boom or bust though.
Doug Baldwin - barely played last week, so I'm not risking him this week.

Good luck this week!

Baldwin is too risky at this point so I am between Maclin and Torrey Smith. If Maclin plays I think he is your man. He has a decent matchup and he is clearly the favorite target of Vick (assuming Vick plays). If Maclin doesn't play then I think Smith is a decent option. One guy I do like more than Smith this week if he is available is Heyward-Bey. There are a lot of banged up Raider receivers this week and Heyward-Bey might get a few more targets as the Raiders try to keep up with the Packers.

Is maclin worth starting if Vick doesn't play? It looks like Vick will play but in case he doesn't..can I trust Vince young to get the ball to maclin?

I would rank them accordingly

Maclin - if he plays and regardless if Vick plays or not (really looking like he is a go)

Smith - he has had almost as many points per game as Boldin but he is a big hit or miss guy and I like the match up this week

Baldwin - Hit or miss but much more often miss than hit

I agree, it's between Smith and Maclin for the top spot. Since Smith is more of a deep threat, he has been hit or miss this season, but against the Colts this week I think it will be a hit. Obviously keep a close watch on the injury report for Maclin, but if it sounds like he'll be ready to go I would start him over Smith.
