QBNick Foles

Nick Foles

213 pass yards, pass TD, INT

Foles has played so poorly in the past few weeks that the team could make a switch back to Michael Vick -– a decision many fans would welcome. It doesn't appear Vick will receive clearance for Week 13, but fantasy owners shouldn't expect to see Foles in the lineup much beyond that.

RBBryce Brown

Bryce Brown

86 rush yards, rush TD, 2 rec, 23 rec yards

With LeSean McCoy unlikely to play, expect the Eagles to continue to employ Brown after seeing him rip off 178 yards in Week 12. Brown did fumble twice last week, but if he can take care of the ball he'll have another nice day.

RBLeSean McCoy

LeSean McCoy

0 rush yards

McCoy is still recovering from a concussion, and while he hasn't been ruled out yet, it's unlikely he'll play with the Eagles already out of the postseason hunt. Monitor his status, but prepare to go elsewhere.

WRJeremy Maclin

Jeremy Maclin

5 rec, 61 yards, rec TD

Maclin has destroyed Dallas' secondary, having caught a touchdown in each of the last three meetings. A few weeks ago when these teams met, Foles threw to Maclin 12 times, resulting in eight catches, 93 yards and a 44-yard scoring strike at the start of the second half. Without DeSean Jackson to compete with, Maclin's fantasy stock should soar.

WRRiley Cooper

Riley Cooper

3 rec, 21 yards

Cooper had 61 yards against Washington two weeks ago and caught a touchdown against the Cowboys in Week 10. He will battle Damaris Johnson for extra reps now that DeSean Jackson is done for the year.

WRDamaris Johnson

Damaris Johnson

2 rec, 18 yards

Johnson is the natural backup to DeSean Jackson, but that does not necessarily mean he will replace the injured receiver's production. Riley Cooper will play a bigger role, and Jeremy Maclin could see more targets.

TEBrent Celek

Brent Celek

5 rec, 60 yards

Expect Celek and the Eagles to exploit the absence of Dallas' best cover linebacker (Bruce Carter) and also safety Orlando Scandrick. In his last trip to Big D, Celek had 52 yards and a touchdown.

KAlex Henery

Alex Henery

2 PATs, FG

It's difficult to show love for a kicker who ranks 24th in scoring (6.9 points a game) and plays for one of the league's shakiest offenses. And we say this in a week following one of his best performances of the year.

DEFENSE

INT, 2 Sacks

It's difficult to predict what kind of mindset the Eagles will bring into this game after losing seven straight. They sacked Tony Romo three times a few weeks ago but failed to generate a single turnover.

QBTony Romo

Tony Romo

254 pass yards, pass TD, INT

It would be fair to label Romo a fringe starter for fantasy owners. Through 11 weeks he ranks third in passing but 14th in touchdown passes, and he leads the league in interceptions. He recorded his lowest passing total of the season in the meeting with Philadelphia three weeks ago.

RBDeMarco Murray

DeMarco Murray

84 rush yards, rush TD

Murray has missed six games but this week there is hope that his sprained foot will be ready for action. Fantasy owners should watch mid-week injury reports and start Murray if he's given a green light. Normally one would expect Dallas to ease Murray back slowly, but the Cowboys are in no position to do so.

RBFelix Jones

Felix Jones

24 rush yards, 2 rec, 22 rec yards

If DeMarco Murray plays this week, Jones will have absolutely no value to fantasy owners. And if Murray does not play ... well, not much changes. Over the last six weeks Jones has not gained more than 75 yards rushing in any contest.

WRDez Bryant

Dez Bryant

5 rec, 93 yards, rec TD

Bryant's 30-yard touchdown catch against Philadelphia turned that game around -- Bryant's season along with it. He has gained 145 yards in each of the past two weeks, and has scored four touchdowns over the last three.

WRMiles Austin

Miles Austin

2 rec, 32 yards

A hip injury kept Austin out of most of last week's loss to Washington. He's a speed receiver, so even if he is able to play fantasy owners may want to give him a rest.

WRDwayne Harris

Dwayne Harris

2 rec, 27 yards

Harris' star is on the rise, both as a receiver and a return man. But he is also a victim of what's becoming a crowded Dallas receiving corps, with Kevin Ogletree and Cole Beasley also making a case for reps.

TEJason Witten

Jason Witten

7 rec, 74 yards

There is no stopping Jason Witten -- not on third down, or late in games, or when everyone knows where the ball is going. He caught eight passes in his last game against the Eagles.

KDan Bailey

Dan Bailey

3 PATs, 2 FGs

Bailey has improved his fantasy situation by putting 11 points on the board in each of the past two weeks. Spinal Tap would be proud. Bailey is now one of the top 10 best fantasy kickers to choose from.

DEFENSE

INT, 2 Sacks, TD

The Cowboys scored three touchdowns in the first meeting with Philadelphia. It would be crazy to expect an encore, but Dallas' return game is now one of the league's most explosive, and the defense's aggressive nature can lead to points at any time.
