9. Jeremy Maclin/Hakeem Nicks

Both Maclin and Nicks are playing on one-year, prove-it sort of deals. Maclin is coming off an injury in 2013, while Nicks has been unproductive the past two seasons in New York, also due to some lingering injuries.

Maclin has a chance to help fill the void left by DeSean Jackson. If he succeeds, he could earn a nice raise. Nicks joins a high-octane Colts offense with a chance to revive his career.
