Buccaneers
Pos.PlayerProjection
QBNick Foles

Nick Foles

280 pass yards, 2 pass TDs, INT, 12 rush yards

Foles threw for 251 yards and a touchdown at Dallas on Sunday night, and the Eagles have decided to go with him as the starter for the rest of the season. With the Bucs' poor pass defense on deck, Foles is a sneaky fantasy starter this weekend.

RBLeSean McCoy

LeSean McCoy

60 rush yards, rush TD, 3 rec, 30 rec yards

McCoy missed his second game in a row with a concussion, and rookie Bryce Brown continued to shine in McCoy's absence. If McCoy returns against the Buccaneers he will still be the starter, but he'll see fewer touches than before he got injured. Regardless: If he starts for the Eagles, he should start for your fantasy team.

RBBryce Brown

Bryce Brown

45 rush yards, 3 rec, 27 rec yards

For the second game in a row, Brown looked like a top fantasy running back after he rushed for 169 yards and two touchdowns against the Cowboys. If LeSean McCoy (concussion) is out again, Brown will be a top-10 back despite facing a very good rushing defense.

RBDion Lewis

Dion Lewis

12 rush yards

If LeSean McCoy (concussion) is out for Week 14, the Eagles will use Lewis as Bryce Brown's backup again. Even so, Lewis won't get many touches.

WRJeremy Maclin

Jeremy Maclin

7 rec, 80 yards, rec TD

Maclin was expected to have a big day at Dallas, but he finished with just three catches for 38 yards in Week 13. The Buccaneers have a decimated secondary, however, so Maclin could be a decent WR2/3 this week.

WRJason Avant

Jason Avant

4 rec, 60 yards

With DeSean Jackson out, Avant came through with his best game of the season at Dallas in Week 13. He caught four passes for 79 yards and should come close to those numbers against in Week 14 against a bad Bucs secondary.

TEBrent Celek

Brent Celek

6 rec, 65 yards, rec TD

Celek caught seven passes for 73 yards at Dallas in Week 13, and he's proving to be one of Nick Foles' favorite targets. He should do well against a Bucs team that is struggling to stop the passing game.

KAlex Henery

Alex Henery

3 PATs, 2 FGs

Henery kicked a pair of field goals and three extra points at Dallas in Week 13. He hasn't missed a kick since Week 1, and the Eagles' sputtering offense has been good for his kicking totals recently. He's a low-end fantasy starter this week.

DEFENSE

INT, 2 Sacks

The Eagles had two sacks at Dallas in Week 13 and scored on a 98-yard punt return. But their defensive line coach was fired on Monday, so it's tough to say what to expect in Week 14 against a pretty good Buccaneers offense. Look elsewhere for fantasy help this week.

QBJosh Freeman

Josh Freeman

265 pass yards, 2 pass TDs, INT, 15 rush yards

After a down week against the Falcons, Freeman threw two more touchdown passes against Denver in Week 13, with 242 passing yards and an interception. The Bucs' quarterback has thrown for a pair of touchdowns in seven of his past eight games. The trend could continue against an Eagles team with a coaching staff in disarray.

RBDoug Martin

Doug Martin

80 rush yards, 4 rec, 44 rec yards

Martin rushed 18 times for just 56 yards at Denver in Week 13, but he also caught three passes for 42 yards. The Eagles give up rushing yards, but they have allowed just six rushing touchdowns this season. Martin remains a must-start running back, but his owners must hope he breaks a big score.

RBD.J. Ware

D.J. Ware

9 rush yards

Ware had just one touch at Denver in Week 13, as he rushed once for eight yards. He is Doug Martin's backup and has very little fantasy value right now.

WRVincent Jackson

Vincent Jackson

6 rec, 95 yards, rec TD

Jackson was expected to have a tough day going up against Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey, and he finished with three catches for 55 yards in Week 13. He should bounce back nicely against the Eagles, who have allowed 23 passing touchdowns this season.

WRMike Williams

Mike Williams

4 rec, 70 yards, rec TD

Williams rebounded after a subpar Week 12 with a team-high six catches for 93 yards and a touchdown at Denver in Week 13. Keep him active against an inconsistent Eagles' pass defense.

TEDallas Clark

Dallas Clark

4 rec, 45 yards

Clark caught three passes for 21 yards and a touchdown against the Broncos in Week 13, and he now has three touchdown catches in his past four games. He has earned your fantasy consideration for Week 14 against the Eagles.

KConnor Barth

Connor Barth

2 PATs, 2 FGs

Barth kicked three field goals and two extra points in Week 13. Two of those field goals were of the 50-plus-yards variety. He leads all kickers in fantasy points over the past three weeks.

DEFENSE

INT, Sack

Tampa Bay notched one interception at Denver in Week 13 but no sacks and no other forced turnovers. The Bucs also allowed 31 points to Peyton Manning. This defense is still too unreliable for fantasy purposes.
