Fantasy Player Projections

Eagles
Pos.PlayerProjection
QBAndy Dalton

Andy Dalton

251 pass yards, pass TD, INT

At one point this season Dalton was among the most reliable second-tier fantasy quarterbacks. That's no longer the case. His passing totals have been way down the past five weeks, and he has managed just one touchdown in each of the past two weeks.

RBBenJarvus Green-Ellis

BenJarvus Green-Ellis

84 rush yards, rush TD, 2 rec, 19 rec yards

Green-Ellis has gained 100 or more yards of total offense in each of the past four weeks and faces a favorable matchup against an Eagles defense giving up 119.3 rushing yards per game.

WRA.J. Green

A.J. Green

7 rec, 111 yards, rec TD

Vincent Jackson made the Eagles' secondary look silly last week, so it's a safe bet Green can follow suit. The Bengals' No. 1 wideout has averaged 104 yards in his three previous games against NFC East opponents this season.

WRAndrew Hawkins

Andrew Hawkins

3 rec, 48 yards

The Bengals have other young receivers seeing as many snaps, but Hawkins' production this season suggests he is clearly the team's No. 2 behind A.J. Green. Even so, since the end of September Hawkins has not produced enough to warrant interest from fantasy owners.

TEJermaine Gresham

Jermaine Gresham

4 rec, 56 yards

Gresham has averaged 6.2 targets this season, and he has caught touchdowns in three of his past five games. He is still a No. 2 fantasy tight end, but this week's matchup is better than most.

KJosh Brown

Josh Brown

2 PATs, 3 FGs

Mike Nugent's strained calf is expected to cost him one more week. Brown isn't a bad pickup for fantasy owners; he made all four of his attempts last week, including one kick from 52 yards.

DEFENSE

INT, 2 Sacks

The Eagles are still a mess, and their offensive line is still full of holes, as evidenced by the six sacks it allowed last week. The Bengals are a sleeper team fantasy owners should look to in Week 15.

Pos.PlayerProjection
QBNick Foles

Nick Foles

236 pass yards, pass TD, INT, 14 rush yards

Foles is showing progress, but it's been slow. His yards-per-attempt average has improved in each of the past three weeks, and he has not thrown an interception in the past three. He still shouldn't be in fantasy lineups, but it's starting to look like he'll stick around in Philadelphia.

RBBryce Brown

Bryce Brown

73 rush yards, rush TD, 1 rec, 9 rec yards

LeSean McCoy is still sidelined with a concussion, keeping Brown in the lineup one more week. Cincinnati's 11th-ranked run defense should help Brown bounce back after he struggled against top-ranked Tampa Bay last week.

RBDion Lewis

Dion Lewis

11 rush yards, 2 rec, 19 rec yards

Bryce Brown's struggles last week (12 carries, six yards) have opened the door for Lewis. Last week Lewis saw half as many snaps as Brown, but finished with more yards from scrimmage thanks to a 28-yard catch.

WRJeremy Maclin

Jeremy Maclin

4 rec, 52 yards, rec TD

The Eagles are asking a lot of Maclin right now -- perhaps too much. He was targeted 13 times against the Buccaneers and is the only weapon in the passing game opponents have to fear. The raised profile hurts Maclin's fantasy value more than it helps.

WRJason Avant

Jason Avant

3 rec, 42 yards

Avant led the Eagles in receiving last week, taking advantage of the attention paid to Jeremy Maclin. An encore is unlikely, however. The Bengals kept the Cowboys' passing game in check for much of last week and rank among the top 10 in passing yards allowed.

TEBrent Celek

Brent Celek

3 rec, 38 yards

To play, Celek must gain clearance from the concussion he suffered in last week's win over Tampa Bay. Even if he is able to go, fantasy owners should pencil someone else in at tight end.

KAlex Henery

Alex Henery

2 PATs, 2 FGs

Henery is coming off arguably the worst outing of his young career, having missed two of three field-goal attempts. Give him a pass. Henery has boasted one of the most accurate legs in the game the past two years.

DEFENSE

INT, 2 Sacks

The Eagles have allowed 30.8 points per game over the past seven weeks, and only Kansas City has a worse turnover ratio than Philadelphia's minus-19.
